2041  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think that this is aperfect analogy of how gambling addiction starts? on: December 20, 2023, 11:02:04 PM
What that start gambling addiction is not about people that do not understand probability. When I was addicted, I understood everything and how I can lose, but I want to earn and make daily income from gambling. I thought I was better and looking for ways to earn money from it, but at the end, it was not a good story at all and I had to quit gambling for a year. This makes me think that others that are addicted is because they want to make money from gambling, looking for different strategies to increase the probability to earn than lose as I did when I was addicted but still nothing worked out as planned but losing money frequently.
You can not be addicted in gambling and also have other experience of escape root, and secondly in gambling once youa re addicted in gambling what you will be think is the process whereby you can be able to recover what you have spent so far in gambling, so addiction will make you to think that gambling is a source of living or source of life, so gambling have a spirit and once you start gambling you will definitely be thinking to make or win millions with gambling
Gambling addiction is something we should never allow ourselves to get to experience before we are able to stop because in some cases, you may not be able to quit gambling at the time you get addicted especially when you begin to think towards recovering all they you have lost gambling, you may end up becoming so addicted that you may not be able to stop again.

When you gamble, don't allow your self to think that by gambling more you will be able to get back all that you have lost gambling because it's a trap to getting you addicted without really knowing but if you are cautious enough to just setting a limit daily regardless of how much you lost or win, there are chances you will maintain a healthy gambling habit with little or no addiction but it's best with no addiction. staying responsible gambling is another way to escape addiction especially when you know how well to manage your bankroll.
2042  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beginner needs your advices in gambling. on: December 20, 2023, 10:29:35 PM
My first and most important advice to all new gamblers is to take gambling only as an enjoyment and never as a career and try not to get addicted to gambling. Gambling is fine for you as long as you accept gambling only as entertainment, but whenever you gamble too greedily and think of winning a lot of money, you will think that you are going to be addicted to gambling. It is not a good decision to start gambling with extra money in the new situation so a new gambler should start gambling with a limited amount of money. If the result of the gambling game is not in his favor then the gambler has to take a break in the new situation and start the game again after taking a break. If a new gambler can gamble by following these tips then gambling is fine for him.
Exactly they shouldn't see gambling as a source of money or a job opportunity but a way of entertainment and probably make some little money around it, that way they will enjoy gambling and at same time not become prone to turning out an addict which I one biggest challenge most gamblers face especially newbie gamblers who weren't guided.

New gamblers should not only use small money but Also gamble on budget this way they will be able control how much they spend gambling. Time they Also spend in casinos aswell should be regulated, discipline should also be part of the characters that should be adopted to be able stay safe and responsible gambling because newbies could get carried away by the drive to wanting to make so much money already and end up at the wrong end probably that which will make them regret in the long term.

Nice and PSG winning to night is further going to increase the point difference between this two teams on the league table this season, PSG will now be five points ahead of Nice, I think it will be very difficult for Nice to be able to get back to the top of the table again any time soon because PSG continually maintain the point difference between them.

PSG appeared more superior in today's game and their dominance has been seen in a greater part of the game, they did had no goals in the first half and it did looked like they were going to draw this game but in the second half, they have been able to lead by three goals and definitely going to get three points by the end of the game today because the second half is almost coming to an end with a 3-1 score line, this has made PSG top position on the table firm for the time been and Nice trying really hard to get back to the top.
2044  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 20, 2023, 09:45:58 PM
I'm sure that Napoli lost this game on purpose. They are not in the best position in the Serie A standings and they need to keep playing in the Champions League. The Italian Cup is not important for them and they will not waste strength on it. The main thing for them is to improve their position in Serie A and try their luck in the Champions League.
If Napoli is still trying to improve its position in the Serie A standings, of course Napoli must always consider winning and it would be very unreasonable if Napoli deliberately lost the Coppa Italia to a team lower than them. Apart from that, Napoli also cannot give an excuse if they deliberately lost just because they are still in the Champions League this season, because their fans will certainly be very disappointed if Napoli admits that they deliberately lost a certain match even though it was outside of the Champions League competition.
I don agree with @fzkto on the view that Napoli lost the game on purpose because I don't think they will loose matches on purpose in such manner because of the champions league that's still week ahead, they will have enough time to rest before the champions league, so they will definitely not have to lose their serie A game for UCL games in such manner.

For a team that is considered lower than Napoli in the serie A I don't think Napoli will in any way lose to them intentionally it was just a circumstances that's usual with football taking place, there have always been times where weak teams are able to win big teams and that doesn't mean the bigger team intentionally lost, this may happen due to some circumstances some may result from the players performance that day while some maybe they the team just had a bad day or some times technicalities or poor execution of strategy.

Bayern Leverkusen, Stuttgart and Bayern Munich are all leading in the dirt half of the games tonight, Bayern Leverkusen is literally four goals ahead without an goal from their opponent, I think Bayern Leverkusen is trying to utilize the opportunity made available to them to making sure they continually stay at the top of the table.

Bayern Leverkusen will currently be four points ahead of Bayern Munich and it's definitely looki like Leverkusen has realized they are not far away from the the team that's directly behind them so definitely they will want to get some more points to broaden the gap between the two teams, Stuttgart is still trying to regain their spot on the table but I doubt if they will be able to make back to the top again like they did earlier at the beginning of the season. So far Leverkusen's dominance in their match is such that I don't see any chance of their opponent bochum getting a goal by the end of the game.
2046  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 20, 2023, 09:09:28 PM
So far in the second half of the match between both teams(Barcelona vs Almeria), the scoreline is 2:2. It is unbelievable that Barcelona is dragging victory with the bottom team of the Laliga table, upon they are playing the match at their home, they still find it hard to comfortably win with many goals against Almeria.
It will be a game of shame if Barcelona can't win Almeria but have a draw match with them at the 90 minutes of play. I don't know what will be Xavi excuse be if this match later ends in a draw.
Barcelona finally won by three goals after a 1-1 draw in the first half of the game where Almeria did tried their best for a team that is considered a weak team against Barcelona but Then Barcelona aswell did showed some dominance at some point and Almeria aswell was trying to balance the game and hoping to get a point from this game.

Barcelona was hosting this game and it was expected of the at such to be able to win Almeria without stress considering they are a bigger team and we're playing with their full squad from home but then it turned out that Barcelona was struggling at some point but most importantly they won and we're able to get three points so this could possibly get them back to their winning ways once again if they are able to stay consistent with improvement because at some point they seem to be Lossing some form.

Napoli and Barcelona fixture is one amongst the UCL round of sixteen games that have really caught my attention but then I'm most certain with the fact that it's not going to be an easy game but Napoli seem to me like they are at advantage the most and they will be hosting Barcelona so most likely they would wan to do all their best.

Napoli and Barcelona have both been performing poorly in their various domestic leagues most recently and their has given me some taughts that they may most likely end this game in a draw because both teams doesn't seem like they will be able to get a win easily. Barcelona tho did tried in their group stage games in the UCL but in their domestic league games, they did performed poorly such that it could be possible they are at the moment more focused on getting a better results at the UCL than in the la Liga.
2048  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 20, 2023, 08:19:04 PM
It looks like Arsenal and Liverpool will continue to dominate this season if no other team can be as consistent as them until the end of the season. Because the two teams now look increasingly fierce in terms of competition, there will be quite a tough and thrilling match this week at Liverpool's home ground. The Liverpool vs Arsenal match this week looks like it will be difficult to predict because both of them will definitely use their respective abilities to be in first place after the match is over. Meanwhile for Manchester City, it looks like they have to make several changes in order to restore their true performance this season.
Arsenal and Liverpool are really dominating this season they are both performing real well and both teams are participating in two leagues, which includes both the champions league and Europa league along side the premier league, Arsenal is a point ahead om the league table and Liverpool is a point behind them.

Liverpool has this season been performing very well and in a good form but the match between them and Liverpool this weekend is definitely going to be a really tough one as both teams will definitely put up a real tough resistance against each other because they are both in their very good form this season moreover they don't have fixtures from other league where the play that will probably cause them to be exhausted or probably say having a tight schedule so they will both be in their best form to face each other, I foresee that there will be few goals in this game because both defense line are in good shape.
2049  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: December 20, 2023, 04:08:04 PM
The simplest answer is the difference in bankroll, it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor when you talk about bankroll management. There are rich people who will spend all their money, sell their car or whatever they have to keep on gambling, this is also the same case as for those who are poor. Just look at it this way, if you'll compare the bankroll and winning of rich and poor people, a rich gambler can win $1000 or more in 1 bet vs. a poor gambler who will gamble and depend on luck playing the whole day just to win $100 because of their limited bankroll. No matter how lucky you are, it all boils down on your bankroll.
Bankroll management is definitely a big factor when comes to winning because the casino definitely don't know the difference between the poor and the rich and so when you place your stake they definitely are not able to different between the poor and the rich staking on their platforms so like you did said it's not about been poor or rich.

With bigger bankroll you can win big in few picks but you will have to make multiple picks to get big win when you gambling on a small bank roll. The rich who has got a big bankroll jus stake once or twice and wins big thereby reducing their risk since they didn't have to try with multiple chance but those who have smaller bankroll increase their risk by trying multiple chances of which when one goes against them, they lose almost all their funds because it was little and the wanted to win big by going all with their bankroll.

I still think that this game is a 50:50 thing between AS Roma and Feyenoord. Feyenoord is playing solid so far, but it is not something that is shockingly impressive. Roma should not be underestimated, especially not when Feyenoord plays away from home. It should be considered that AS Roma plays in a league that is more difficult than the Eredivisie.
Both teams are literally average and almost equals in strength but I think Roma have got a better dept but feyenoord has got a very good stamina and definitely a good form aswell, back in their various domestic leagues, feyenoord is at the second spot in their domestic league table having lost only one out of their recently played five games.

Roma is struggling at the eighth position with 25 points having lost only one and drew two and won two out of their last five recently played games in their domestic league, Roma has been characterized with too many inconsistency in their performance both in the Europa and their domestic league so most definitely they can still be seen as an average team so it's a difficult match to predict the possible outcome, feyenoord crashed out of the champions league and I think they will want to make sure to get something out of the Europa league.
2051  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 20, 2023, 03:13:44 PM
Napoli are performing very poorly in the Italian league which is why they must focus more on Serie A even though they are already far behind.  Inter, Juventus and Milan are many points ahead of them.  So it will be quite difficult for them to bridge this point gap and hope to be in a good position again. But since they have a record of doing well in the past, they can come back to a good position if they try.  So they should pay more attention to their performance
The draw back of Napoli currently, I think it's just a temporary one and they will definitely get over it especially if they don't suffer injuries again or been limited by internal crisis around the team. They were the winners last season, they recently changed their coach so I think it's a little set back they will be going through for awhile.

After awhile when they must have totally gotten used to their new Coach I'm sure they will be doing much better but I doubt if they will be able to defend their title this season because their performance isn't as good as it was last season. Juventus and inter Milan are definitely the most liable to win the title this season, especially inter Milan who has performed really well this season and Juventus aswell has been been at their best too and have been at the top a few times this season, it's mostly between Juventus and inter Milan to win the trophy this season.

Losing to Frankfurt was not a mistake for Bayern Munich so Bayern Munich fans don't have to bring this up continuously. Because Bayern Munich still has the opportunity to get better and continue to compete to get the trophy again this season by continuing to make improvements to the way they play and the tactics they will continue to use in every match in different competitions. Because this season Bayern Munich is also very focused on the UCL so the pressure may be quite a lot and big.
Well not seeing it as a mistake will actually be your own perspective about such loss but I will in a way agree with Bayern Munich fans if they are seeing it as such because it's very unusual that Bayern Munich will loose to Frankfurt with such goal margin which is just too big, this is what is actually expected of Bayern to do to Frankfurt instead.

It's good that it happened that way, at least it got Bayern Munich to slow down a bit and gave others the opportunity to further go up the table, but then it seems Bayern didn't get really affected by the loss as they have won another game, it didn't hamper their mentality of weaken their confidence, Bayern Munich is a very formidable team that I'm very sure of to get back on their feet anytime and get back to the top of table sooner than expected but the Leverkusen still have an amazing performance that will keep them long enough on the top of the table.

I don't know what Mbappe wants by extending his contract at PSG. Is that a strategy from Mbappe so that if another club wants to sign him then they have to spend large amounts of money and make a tempting offer? Because I think what does Mbappe need from PSG? He's got everything there. Has PSG offered Mbappe a large salary so that he chooses to stay at PSG?

There has been no official news or statement from Mbaape. But his contract with PSG is a form of professional football player. I think there is an agreement between Mbaape and PSG that is not disclosed publicly. The latest news is that Real Madrid will make a final offer to PSG. But until now there has been no new news. Only Real Madrid has looked serious in the past few reports.
I can understand Real Madrid's insistence on Mbappe. Real Madrid is an important team and they have shortcomings in the offensive area. A star like Mbappe would be great to complete these shortcomings. Mbappe is an attacking player who can take Real Madrid to the next level. My only fear is that he will suffer injuries like Hazard. I hope we can enjoy watching him in the Real Madrid jersey if he is transferred.
Mbappe's presence in Real Madrid no doubts will be of great effect, it will definitely help their forward to getting a better alignment and a perfect rhythm around the forward and attacking force. Real Madrid will also be a very perfect platform for mbappe to scale greater heights in his career than he would els where.

Mbappe has further extended his contract with PSG thereby reducing his chances of been transferred to other teams but then Madrid in a news I came across did want to present a contract to him sometime in January for a period of time after which if they don't get a response they have have to let go of mbappe. But in most recent times there's no news yet as to mbappes decision or that of real Madrid yet but it's most likely mbappe will still be in PSG. But then in the absence of mbappe I'm sure Madrid will go get a good alternative.
2054  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your view on this? Is it fun or addiction? on: December 20, 2023, 02:39:03 PM
Do you see this as addiction or just catching of fun?

Mind you, we just enjoy the moment and might just joke around with people making predictions based on the teams,  they love but we are mostly gamblers at our different ends.
Firstly the taught of getting generational wealth gambling is a wrong taught which should be treated as a potential trait for addiction. It will be very foolish to hope on gambling to help you get wealth that will last through generations, the casino and bookies are looking to make wealth too so what makes you feel you stand a better chance.

That urge and drive to continually keep playing again with the mind set they you will win one day will definitely lead to ruined, you may end up never winning because you are just blindly playing and been so dependent on hope alone which can definitely not give you the generational wealth you intend to get gambling but will rather get you into addiction gambling shouldn't be done basically to get a fortune but if you are been favoured by the odds then celebrate your good days and do not think that gambling will get you rich, it's very unlikely.
2055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 20, 2023, 02:31:16 PM
A difference of two points sounds very easy, but the wave of injuries hitting Real Madrid makes it difficult for Ancelloti.
I think it's time for Madrid to worry about Girona because Cinderella Story Girona will continue,
and it will be increasingly difficult for Real Madrid during the European run.
Real Madrid needs to sign a good CB quickly in January to continue competing in all competitions.
Nacho and Rüdiger alone are not enough.
Recently in a news I came across tho I've not been able to verify it's authenticity but then it was stated that most of Madrid's injured players will be back soonest, making it look more like a short term stuff which they will recover soonest and be back so the team wouldn't have to suffer for too long but then like I stated earlier I'm yet to verify completely.

In the Case where my speculations are true then I don't think two points difference should be a thing to really worry about with ancellotis squad, it will take them only two matches and they will not only close the gap but will be ahead with some more points. One injured player that will really affect the performance of Madrid will have to be that of Bellingham and this seem like the second time he has suffered injury this season, he is now injury prone and acelloti have to be very strategic using him so as to avoid his absence in vital games in the nearest future.
2056  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Heritage is Some How Spiritual on: December 20, 2023, 02:22:50 PM
Football indeed is a game of passion. A passion that drives you to win at all cost and not loss. I come to understand that when it comes to football the roots and foundation of a football team matters. A team that is not built with a strong foundation. In terms of reputation, pattern, performance and strategy may affect the players that will be playing in that team years to come. What am saying in essence is that football may be hereditary. I believe you may or may not gree to the fact that some football clubs have passed down the spirit of not able to win league titles in as much as the current players of that team tries. They always end up bottling the league at the end.
In as much as this point of yours isn't looking true in it's complete sense I will take it with a pinch of salt, by this I mean I agree to your perspective with some resentments, some teams have been unable to win league title in a long while not because of any spiritual or hereditary traits rather obviously every teams management and strategy is very key to getting them results.

There have been cases of teams performing so badly over the years and after the changes of management and other necessary strategies were put in place, they were transformed into a very formidable force, a typical example can be seen in the bundesliga were Leverkusen who were always seen as an average team today are now one of the most formidable Force in the bundesliga and they're others in other leagues aswell, basically it mainly management and strategy, this is my own point of view actually.
2057  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: December 20, 2023, 01:03:05 PM
Real Madrid has shown a lot of dedication this season and even last season in la liga and champions league, and there was high hope of them winning last season but their focus was on champion’s league and they lost the two leagues and this season is another season. And the only serious team I see in La Liga that can stay on the same point is Girona. The players' experience is also very important, and they will look for possible ways to compromise when there is a challenge. Bellingham's injury will affect the club's performance, but they will look for an alternative to fill in for Bellingham. And Manchester City is not in the best of shape, so it will be even more difficult for them. And the fact that Manchester City is unstable will benefit a lot of clubs. And Barcelona is worst and they won’t even go far they are not in good condition.
Real Madrid this season seem to be putting more effort in the UCL and I see them as potential winners because their performance so far in the champions league is such that they have been able to put up very brilliant performance all through the group stage which seemed much easier than the UCL round of sixteen and in the draws they will be facing Leipzig.

Bellingham's injury bis no doubts definitely going to have some effect on real Madrid performance but then I think it will be very obvious in their la Liga performance than their UCL performance because in the UCL they seem to put in more focus regardless they are still at the top in la Liga tho. Manchester city current draw down is such that Madrid can possibly take advantage of to further make their chances of winning the UCL although Manchester city will wan to defend the title as the most recent champions

Could the Manchester City saga be coming to an end? Manchester had been playing great for a few seasons under Pep Guardiola. They started this season very well, but could not continue. Manchester City is far from the top after losing points in a row. I guess this year won't be their year. I expect a race between Arsenal and Liverpool.
Injury at some point posed some challenges at Manchester city and I think they are currently fixing it and will soon be back with their form just like they were at the beginning of the season, guardiola isn't a coach that will allow any of the present situations to deprive him of winning, he's a very ambitious person and will definitely stop at almost nothing to get something out of this season.

Recently there have been news of Kevin de bruyne retuning from injury so I think that will also be a big boost to Manchester city too because his presence means a lot to the team. Manchester city is currently 4th on the table and five points away from the table top which I feel they can possibly cover up in little time. Arsenal and Liverpool appears to be in a serious marathon to the top and if they are able to continually maintain the form, they are definitely going to be the best contenders for the league title this season.
2059  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: December 19, 2023, 09:40:33 PM
I don't know if this has been discussed before or not.
 
Reading about gambling addiction I don't think it's a new topic, but fitting to be in here, I just want to ask: between casino gambling, in-house gambling, and one-on-one gambling with physical players available on the table, which among these is more likely to turn someone into a gambling addict if the person doesn't have self-control in all his gambling activities?
Casino gambling and in-house gambling seems more addictive than most of the others, I may not have comprehensive report or statistics for proper comparison so as to be able to make some data proving but I'm most certain from my experience and total observation over the years that casinos a nd in-house seem more addictive more and heve gotten even more clients than others.

Casino a d in-house gambling most at team appears very much available and easy to reach, they are operating online 24/7 and offline almost All through the day till late evening, this availability and accessibility also influences the increase in the number of addicted gamblers around the game because they don't have to struggle to participate. With the physical player, the availability of a partner to play with becomes a great limitation and could in a way discourage their addiction and interest in gambling but the casino and the house is always available and ready to take your money provided you avail yourself and the money.

Borussia Dortmund taking on PSV in the UCL round of sixteen is another game actually anticipate the thrill that will be accompanied by this game because both teams are looking like they will be tough on each other, PSV in their domestic league is at the top of the table and are doing so well, they have a very good point difference ahead of the other teams behind them.

PSV is definitely not a weak side as compared to borussia Dortmund, I could consider they a good or fair contender, recalling back to their group stage performance, PSV literally looked like they escaped been relegated to Europa  because they were just a point ahead of lens and four points behind Arsenal leaving them at the second position in their group standings, meanwhile Dortmund finished top of their group with three points ahead winning three matches a d drew two so obviously they are by statistics matching in strength in some ways, so I think by champion league standard they are both average teams. The game is going to be such that we can expect any result been sure of the winner may turn out difficult.
