2201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 17, 2023, 04:36:15 PM

Undoubtedly, Leipzig has been a better side than Wolfsburg this season which I think is the reason behind the mass prediction of them beating their hosts in their next fixture in the German Bundesliga campaign but I think Wolfsburg really has a chance of taking all three points from the game because they have all it takes to achieve that and also because of the fact that they'll be playing the game in front of their home fans.

The difference between these two teams is quite far, we can see the difference in points between these two teams is very far, and I think that is a basic conclusion to ascertain about the team that has  a greater chance in the match. Of course as you said that this season Leipzig can perform better and not far from the expectations of their fans, as in the last season they can compete in the top five of the standings with other strong teams like Bayern Munich and Dortmund and now there is no change, in the sense that they have good depth and are quite consistent.

This season there is nothing promising from Wolfsburg, in the last five matches they could not win a single victory, but maybe their advantage is only because they will play at home which means they already control the field and also they will have the full support of their fans which indirectly inevitably they must be able to perform better and maximize their performance at all costs. But on the other hand even though they will play at home, I will not put too much hope on Wolfsburg, because obviously the difference in performance from both teams is enough to be the reason who will win.

That's right, if you want to be responsible when gambling then look at the gamblers around us, their experiences will encourage us to always be careful and disciplined in every step when gambling.
Yes, you are right, seeing the experiences of people around us will make us more careful and responsible and that is a fact because I see many gamblers around me going bankrupt and some have even managed to stop their addiction, the more negative effects we see from those people. Of course, the gamblers around us will help us be more mature in playing gambling so we don't focus on our emotions when gambling but have fun.

But on the other hand, what about those who are far from other gamblers or say those who like to play alone at home without socializing with other gamblers or making friends, so it is difficult for them to learn from the experiences of the people around them, but apart from that, they also have to be able to learn from this forum. or other sites where many people might share information about their losses from gambling so that it can also help to gamble more responsibly and wisely.

Yes, seeing the experiences of gamblers around us can help us to control ourselves in carrying out gambling activities and prevent us from becoming addicted. On the other hand, we will also understand what good steps we can take so that we don't harm ourselves or are not the same as experienced gamblers who have experienced big losses.

It is certain that if a gambler does not have many friends or does not socialize with friends or relatives, it is very likely that he will become an addict, because he does not have extensive knowledge about gambling so he will easily play as he pleases without good control. Therefore, good knowledge and understanding will lead a gambler to behave responsibly and wisely.

That should be clear enough evidence to make those who have just come not to overdo it as one of the preventive measures to be able to avoid such problems. There have been many cases of downturns from other people that should be a strong example for them not to do or follow in the wrong footsteps they have done. Because obviously, if you are too late to take such precautions then obviously you will regret it when you have entered the addiction phase, it is very bad and not everyone is able to withstand all the mental pressure that is there.

And yes your statement makes sense, social relationships are very important, with you building good relationships with others and getting real friends then I think they will be able to contribute greatly when you experience problems especially in gambling, they will be the ones who keep reminding you of something better that should be done.  Don't let yourself be quenched by lust in gambling, at least there should be a place for you to tell all the things you want to do or even some problems that are happening to you, they will give you the advice you need. Yes, usually the main mistake is that they come without having any understanding of gambling, especially not understanding the risks that you cannot avoid at any time.
2203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: November 17, 2023, 03:29:18 PM
interesting how each human works because gambling in a moment of stress is not a good idea for me.

This is hard to say, because their emotion can be change within a minutes . For some people, if they are getting stressed, playing a gamble can be a solution for him. But, they are need to make sure they are will accept anything including losing, Because any lose will be made his stressed more hard.

Yes, it's true, in some cases playing gambling can relieve fatigue and boredom, but it can also increase stress if it turns out we lose and are not ready to face the loses. Gambling is an activity that can relieve stress and also cause stress

When we are not ready to lose or are not willing to spend money on gambling then we will try to chase losses, situations like this often result in us ending up with more losses and spending more money on gambling.

For the problem of impact and benefits in terms of gambling actually it all really depends on how the person views gambling, if indeed they come only for fun and entertainment then I think it's too early to say that you will experience the downturn as experienced by addicts, and if on the contrary if you view gambling as a place to earn then obviously don't ask anymore, you might just be waiting for the time for a big downturn to come as a result of you bringing a mindset that shouldn't be.

Gambling can indeed be a place for entertainment and relieve stress on yourself by enjoying a few rounds that are there, but on the other hand gambling is also very likely to be a place for great disasters to come as you said.

Therefore I think you should consider first before engaging in this activity, lest you build a trap for yourself. Understand all the possible risks that can occur, this is not a place that can make money for free, the casino will not let that happen. Therefore, if you are not ready for all the possible risks then it is better not to ever touch gambling, it is better if you do not want to experience many problems in your life, especially in financial balance.
2204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I've learned so far as a gambler on: November 17, 2023, 02:33:53 PM
Most likely this will not happen because you will gonna be hypnotized by the lights and amusements inside the casino and only you will find out that you really need to go when you lose everything you have. If a person goes there just to double his money or to win big, there are high tendency that he will be back as soon as he loses his initial capital as long as he has the means to do so. He will just simply withdraw some money from his ATM and get back playing until he is no longer able to. Believe it or not, gamblers are the last people to be able to control their mind because of the greed that continue growing in their hearts once they step into the Casino.

Most gamblers can't resist the temptation of a casino whether it's online or brick and mortar, as you said they can't easily walk away from the pleasure of gambling in a brick and mortar casino, the lights and music make them want to stay and keep gambling, it's a very difficult situation for most people to impose some of the restrictions that they brought with them from home.

I hope that if they have exhausted all the money in their wallet in the sense that there is no luck at all then obviously the best thing to do is to force themselves to get out of the casino and go home in tears, don't even think about looking for alternatives to increase the contents of your wallet such as borrowing, because anyone will never know when they will win, so with that alone we should be able to think logically about what should be done in such conditions. In that condition your greed and patience will be tested, yes it is very likely that you will immediately return there with new enthusiasm even though there is basically no guarantee of anything. There is no other way but for you to be more assertive in your self-control and boundaries and basically only you can do it, others will not care about you.
2205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How discipline are you in managing your bankroll? on: November 17, 2023, 02:10:16 PM

Could you please share some of your honest experiences here and how you became a disciplined gambler, particularly in managing your bankroll? What factors do you consider to be satisfied and to stick with the game plan all the time?

The first step to manage a bankroll is to always remind yourself that betting doesn't have a winning guarantee and so you will have that at the back of your mind before betting and what this does is to make you bet reasonably and not to go beyond your budget. Budgeting and emotion go together, a good budget and a bad emotion means something is wrong but a good budget and a good emotion means something is right because there will always be control on the impulse to play irrationally. So chasing loses is not a good management skill.

Chasing both winnings and losses is always a bad idea as it usually doesn't end in our favor. If we're not content with our winnings and keep betting significant amounts in the pursuit of more wins, it's likely not going to end well. What we really need is a bankroll that allows for both pressure and excitement, turning it into a serious and long-term endeavor. Starting with a small bankroll and aiming for a huge target, while it might succeed, the chances of success are minimal, close to 1%.

Basically chasing something that has been lost in gambling will always be an action that is not recommended, none other than because there is no guarantee whatsoever for you to be able to return the money in full, it is always a little impossible because the purpose of the casino is to profit from the defeat of the gamblers, so with that alone it is clear that it will not be easy for anyone to recover, there will be no other feeling than disappointment and regret, But I say that only for people who still have a little awareness, because of course for people who have a very strong addiction they will not care about the concept and the real risk of gambling that you will not be able or mean very difficult to recover, and usually what they do is continue to chase defeat until they realize that they have lost a lot of money with large amounts.

So it's really not recommended and not a good alternative to choose and also on the other hand usually the final result is even worse. The only thing you can choose is to accept all the risks that have occurred and not chase anything that has been lost, with that then I will call you a responsible gambler. Another way is to reduce the amount of your budget so that you don't get too hurt if you lose again, which is more important.
2206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: November 17, 2023, 12:26:40 PM
I am a person who chases losses until I spend all my savings. It was a bad condition for me. I did that when I was new to gambling. I don't have enough experience yet so I keep chasing losses and increasing the bet so that one win can cover the previous loss. But what I did was wrong, chasing losses made me lose more money. I realized it too late, and only realized it when all my savings were gone. This was a bad but valuable experience for me
Well, as long as gambling is concerned, there are some things we ourselves must learn the hard way, that is, we do it and based on our own personal experience, we will learn that that thing is not good to do and possibly stop it, but the unfortunate thing is that, such lessons sometimes doesn't come without some losses financially.

Chasing loses is what so many gamblers still practice even till today, for some, it does favor them at the end of the day, while for majority of others, it always end in nothing but much more loses, and as we gamblers, we know not how lucky we will be, this is why it's very important to completely avoid chasing loses, no matter how compelling the feeling to do it is, we must always try as much as possible to be in control of ourselves, rather than allow our emotions control us.

Many things must be learned to avoid or reduce risk, because by understanding or learning related things it can minimize the losses that will be experienced, so they will not lose large amounts of money.
Why can you say it is profitable in the end? Do you guarantee that those who chase losses will win? I think most gamblers like that only end up losing. Even if they win too, it's not worth the loss they've felt. With emotions controlling everything to be chaotic until they lose a large amount of money of course this is not a good thing but this is something they should avoid when gambling.
2207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I learnt from a crackhead about gambling on: November 17, 2023, 10:58:45 AM
Between drugs and gambling, which one do you think is more addicting than the other? I have a good reason for asking this question, because there is something I saw not too long and I am doubting if anyone have seen the same thing, I am from a place where crack heads ( drugs addicts ) and also gambling addicts are all around, here is what I've seen.

Addiction is synonymous with badness, in my opinion these two things have a big bad impact and are dangerous. Addiction to these two things is just as bad, it can bring bad effects and dangerous impacts to those who are addicted. First, gambling addiction, those who are addicted to gambling will continue to feel dissatisfied with the pa they get in gambling, win or lose they will feel dissatisfied with the end result, it is difficult to get rid of gambling addiction. and if they are already addicted, when they run out of capital they will do everything to be able to play again, one of which is by borrowing funds from their friends or making online loans. of course this will harm them on the basis that most likely they will not be able to pay off their debts because of gambling that does not guarantee victory.

Second. Drug addiction is the same as gambling addiction, it has a bad impact on the health of the younger generation which can damage organs such as the lungs, liver. and worse it can damage their brains so that their thinking will be damaged by drugs. and it could also be that they commit crimes that harm other people who don't know anything.
2208  Economy / Economics / Re: Small Scale Business Ideas on: November 17, 2023, 10:28:16 AM
Although the business that is run is small, but if the business has a grocery store it is quite promising. Because the basic needs of people that they certainly always need every day, for example rice, cooking oil, and vegetables. That's the basic needs of everyone in their daily lives. so even though the grocery store that is run is small, it will definitely run well if it is managed properly. And also there may be potential to grow quickly because of the basic needs of people who will always run out every day. And this is something that rotates every day.

And also a grocery store does not need or is not too concerned with good marketing or more marketing. as long as we don't take a lot of profit from one item, for example, other stores sell rice at such a price and they sell rice at almost the same price as that store but below the store's price (close enough) this will be a consideration for mothers who always shop for their daily needs and they will also certainly pursue stores that have lower prices even though the price is only slightly different. So in my opinion, if you open a grocery store, you don't have to take a lot of profit as long as it is running and crowded with buyers.

These kind of shops generates customers easily, but the competition is too much. I noticed that the business owners, also have their loyal customers. Despite having such a similar shop selling same thing at same price, each of them have specific people that purchase from them. Now, in the bad economy, this type of shops give out their products to those loyal customers on credit. Especially those who live close to the store. Thereby, making them more loyal to the store and expanding their number of customers. But, while in business, it's important to diversify. I know everyone needs those groceries everyday and they buy it. Offering a business that helps them process those raw foods purchased from the shops is a great business move. Most people enter business because others do, and end up winding it up. While in search of a small business idea, we must observe the needs of people living around the environment or the type of audience interested in buying the product. For instance, where timbers are sold, we should think of providing a chain saw machine to the environment, because they must need it. Instead, of joining the masses in selling timbers, opening a place where the timbers are being cut into different sizes would earn us good profits. Providing the needs of the store owners is very crucial in boosting our profits. Another instance, is opening a shopping bag store close to the shops where food stuffs are sold. The sellers need the bag to package goods for customers and the more they make sales the better the profits of the bag seller. It only requires some time, until the whole sellers, in the vicinity, begin to patronize the business.

Yes it is like that, even shops like this around my house are not just one so indeed shops like this have fierce competition, as I said by differentiating prices a little cheaper then they will pursue shops that have cheaper prices even though the price difference is very small it can affect their marketing. also this shop will have loyal customers like you said, they will shop because it is convenient at an affordable price.  With basic needs every day, it is possible that a shop like this will not be extinguished by always providing basic necessities that will definitely be sold every day. But of course there will also be definite risks, by managing it well it doesn't matter, even if you can manage it well it could be faster to reopen a gerosir shop or grocery store in another place because as I said there is the potential to grow quickly because by differentiating prices a little cheaper than other stores.
2209  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you work toward hodling bitcoin? on: November 17, 2023, 07:59:06 AM
I for one, I really think that either one should invest in a DCA strategy and try as much as possible to be consistent and disciplined about it. Or joining a signature campaign of this sort or rendering services of sort on sites that pay good dollars/crypto.
At least the coin, is earned from  side gigs where a few coins can be also channelled toward fulfilling the HODLing plan. It doesn't matter whether the amount used to buy BTC at the time, its value is rewarding over time.
DCA is good for everyone to apply forever if it is for Bitcoin, because Bitcoin's value will continue to exist and will never just disappear if over time there is an increase in Bitcoin users who believe that Bitcoin is good. So it would be very good if we want to continue running DCA while still looking for side income as you said in several ways that can support us in getting income in life, because the implementation of HODLing will not be disturbed when we have side income that can be used for life.
Sometimes as an investor, you still have to be realistic, even though Bitcoin looks so promising, it cannot be separated from price fluctuations. Doing DCA is also not as easy as it sounds, because generally DCA will be ideal for those with a stable income every month. However, that does not mean that those who do not have a stable income cannot DCA, of course they can, but eventually anything becomes hodling because the initial basis for investment is stable income, while clashing with urgent needs will come and cannot be avoided.

I think some people who sell their stuff by accepting the reason why they don't have that patience of hodling Bitcoin is because maybe their business needed more money for growth. Like I know many business who sell bu receiving fiat they still reinvest the money into  their business,  this is just to make the business gets to a certain level they desire. One thing we should understand about Bitcoin,  it is not every Bitcoin that is for hodling ,  bitcoin is also a currency that people can accept in exchange of goods and services,  so it can be  spent just as every money is been spent.
The more Bitcoin you have, the higher the demand in the market and the higher the price of Bitcoin and is considered rare. And generally rare items always have a high selling price. Bitcoin can be accepted by society as long as it is in the right place where people understand and know what Bitcoin is. On the other hand, not all people know about bitcoin, and some countries do not legalize bitcoin as a means of payment for goods and services. They only accept fiat as the only legal transaction tool to use.
2210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have your own casino. on: November 17, 2023, 07:38:09 AM
A sort of dreaming to have running casino registered under my name since imagine that you could potentially earn a lot of money for running a global business like this. But when waking up on reality I say I don't have enough money to launch the whole operation sin e it cause a lot of money to make a casino successful. Since if we just create a casino without doing anything for sure those gamblers would provably go with other casino which can give them better offers and launch a lot of marketing.
Own your own casino? I hope that when I do, it doesn't show that I own the casino. Preferring to stay behind the scenes and let others not know about it. But do you mean an online or offline casino? Here I would prefer to have an online casino that operates widely, maybe the rules are not much different from the casino I use such as only accepting crypto payments. Using fiat is definitely not a good option amid high casino taxes and most countries consider it Illegal.

Just wondering how much does it cost to build an online casino, such as hiring developers, promoters, etc well never thought of this business before. This business is definitely very lucrative, especially since you can become famous and sponsor big events or sponsor soccer clubs.
2211  Economy / Economics / Re: Are You Sticking to Your Plan or Has Life Made You Pause or Modify It? on: November 16, 2023, 09:34:08 PM
No matter how good a person is at making a plan, there will always be obstacles or something unexpected that confronts him. If we experience a big problem, it would be better to face the problem first. It will indeed be a problem in our plans for investing, plans may fail but goals must not be extinguished. Indeed, we don't want what we have planned to fail, it all happens to us, but what can we do, humans cannot avoid it.

I like your phrase "plans may fail, but goals don't die". That's great, I hope many people have this principle. With the failures they experience, they must make it a lesson for the future so that it does not happen again when doing the same thing. With the failures they experience they also have to study the problems that have made them fail in achieving a goal, by studying it well and finding a solution to handle it will reduce the risks that exist, by understanding and studying the things that make them fail it can make them calm and not panic when they experience the same problem because they already know what they have to do to solve the existing problems.
 But risks will certainly exist in any case, the rest depends on us running it. To be able to do the best, in my opinion, you have to learn everything at the beginning by understanding every aspect. By considering it carefully. That way they can start something and run it well.
2212  Economy / Economics / Re: Small Scale Business Ideas on: November 16, 2023, 09:14:26 PM
On this board I often see a lot of discussions related to investment and finance which tend to be large scale. However, to start investing we need capital. How do you find capital for investment?

Let's talk about small scale businesses that have low risks and promising profits so that we can have capital to invest and become passive income in the future.

Do you have a small business idea? or business experience? I want to hear it


It's a shame I never started my own business, I was a seller but at my parents' shop first, but from there I was able to meet our family's needs and was able to send me and my siblings to school.
I think small businesses can also be promising, depending on their management.
open your small business, whatever it is.
The shop business selling daily necessities is very promising, because every day the goods sold are needed by other people, even though it is relatively small, over time you can increase the goods sold so that it develops into a bigger shop and makes people interested, because anything can be found there. . Therefore, don't underestimate small businesses, where the income is not necessarily less than that of an office employee, There are people selling ice at my place right now, because the weather is hot, and it turns out their income is fantastic

Although the business that is run is small, but if the business has a grocery store it is quite promising. Because the basic needs of people that they certainly always need every day, for example rice, cooking oil, and vegetables. That's the basic needs of everyone in their daily lives. so even though the grocery store that is run is small, it will definitely run well if it is managed properly. And also there may be potential to grow quickly because of the basic needs of people who will always run out every day. And this is something that rotates every day.

And also a grocery store does not need or is not too concerned with good marketing or more marketing. as long as we don't take a lot of profit from one item, for example, other stores sell rice at such a price and they sell rice at almost the same price as that store but below the store's price (close enough) this will be a consideration for mothers who always shop for their daily needs and they will also certainly pursue stores that have lower prices even though the price is only slightly different. So in my opinion, if you open a grocery store, you don't have to take a lot of profit as long as it is running and crowded with buyers.
2213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beginner needs your advices in gambling. on: November 16, 2023, 08:17:35 PM
First of all learn game rules or examine how slots work by playing in game mode with free money. Search for explanations and descriptions how betting works and what everything means, so that Asian lines wont confuse you. Wait, watch and observe. Play with fake money as long as possible. Dont rush to play with real money and always set limits on how much you can afford to lose.
I second this, one of the main issues with those that try to gamble for the first time is that they do not use the option of gambling for play money in order to familiarize with the website and with how the games they may like actually work, if they did this and they tried the strategies that are often shared to win at gambling and they realized they were false then they could decide to gamble and simply take it as just another hobby, but instead they actually try to make money with it and that is when their problems start.
Sometimes. curiosity does come into play on which new players would really be having that kind of approach on their first time on dealing with gambling. Its not bad to have some test up
but be careful because on the time that you are really that dealing with gambling the possibilities on getting addicted would really be that the risks on dealing with.
Advice? For those who are really just that diving into gambling activity then they should really be that careful on what you are dealing with, as much as possible it would be that better that you should really be that avoiding yourself on getting greedy because on the time that you are really that experiencing this then it would really be resulting into such big disaster when it comes
to your finances. Self control would really be that relevant.

Curiosity will always be the biggest driver for every gambler, especially for those beginners who have just come to gambling, usually curiosity will dominate him more and also on the other hand temptation will continue to make you even more crazy in putting that curiosity. This is the starting point that will determine whether they will end up with addiction or not, but usually gamblers who come because they see the victory of others will find it difficult to hold back every curiosity because yes, what is in their mind is winning not gambling for entertainment.

One of the things that they must have and emphasize on themselves and especially on their mindset is to apply self-control very firmly, they do not know what kind of temptations exist in gambling sessions, so it is the right action in general to be able to save them from things that are not wanted, especially losing large amounts, and also yes so that you avoid the name of a very bad addiction. There is no other way to overcome the disastrous effects of gambling, only self-control  and strict limits, I hope you and they can implement it well.
2214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How discipline are you in managing your bankroll? on: November 16, 2023, 07:55:57 PM
Recently, I've had some issues with bankroll management. Although I've been gambling for years, sometimes I feel the urge to get more action because I'm not satisfied with my winnings. It's as if there's no tomorrow, and seizing the moment seems like the best option. However, whenever I become undisciplined, it usually doesn't end well. My realization is that no matter how good you are at choosing the right bets, without discipline in bankroll management, you'll still end up losing.

Could you please share some of your honest experiences here and how you became a disciplined gambler, particularly in managing your bankroll? What factors do you consider to be satisfied and to stick with the game plan all the time?
Being a long term gambler still does not guarantee that you can already control easily the urge to gamble. Sometimes, we feel that there is more luck within us that we need to let out so we can seize every opportunities to win in gambling, and that's when we tend to lose discipline when we gamble. My only advice is have your own betting limit. Set your own budget that you are comfortable of losing, and just think that you are gambling not exactly to make more income but mainly to entertain yourself and have fun.

Change your mindset when it comes to gambling. The moment you see gambling as a way to release your boredom, then most likely you will also be disciplined when it comes to your gambling expenses.

Of course it doesn't matter at all in my opinion, whether you intend to be a long-term gambler or not I don't think it has anything to do with whether you can control your gambling properly or not. Basically it's very difficult to keep yourself from getting involved in gambling, and yes you have said one of the indications that can get yourself into gambling, as you said that every gambler will feel that at a certain moment it seems like they are in luck and then they decide to gamble, when in fact it is nothing more than a temptation that enters your mind,. Honestly I've felt the same way and when I went in to gamble with high confidence but still the end result was still far from expectations. That is the temptation of gambling, it is quite difficult to avoid it if we do not have firm control.

Well that's right, because it's very difficult to resist such temptations, so yes, one of the ways you can do as a prevention so as not to lose too much is to minimize the amount of your budget, that's a good way and there seems to be no other way than that. On the other hand, never bring the mindset of gambling to earn because it's like you build disappointment for yourself, because the main key is in your own mindset.
2215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 16, 2023, 07:11:21 PM
Nothing wrong by dreaming to winning the trophy but bayern munich is still being the main threat for the leverkusen. Xabi needs to be careful and he needs to make sure leverkusen will not be bottling it again.
Leverkusen has been performing so well since the previous season but it kinda struggle when leverkusen faces a strong club. Leverkusen draw against bayern at bayern's home.
The club can perform even better when bayern will be playing at leverkusen's home.
Bayern Munich is a strong candidate to continue their dominance in winning the Bundesliga, since several seasons ago the challenger Bayern Munich was always present at the start of the season but slowly the team failed to maintain consistency even in last season's competition between Bayern Munich and Dortmund until the last week and Finally, Bayern Munich is a team that is ready in terms of quality and mentality to become champions.

Leverkusean does have sufficient strength this season, but what is needed is also consistency so it is a big question mark whether Xabi Alonso is able to maintain it and can break Bayern Munich's dominance to win the Bundesliga, I'm sure many people hope they can, as do I so that the Bundesliga continues to rise and competitive.

Yes it is no doubt, Bayern Munich has many advantages that other teams do not have in every season so that is what makes them able to survive so far in dominating the Bundesliga title, although basically many new challengers have emerged in the top five standings but honestly I would not be too sure that they will be able to survive until the end of the season. The obstacle they always experience is in terms of consistency which cannot last long in maintaining their performance, but that does not apply to Bayern Munich. Yes as we see that the top of the table is always about Bayern Munich and Dortmund but Dortmund do not have good luck in terms of winning trophies even though they are serious challengers during Bayern Munich's career. On the other hand I think if only Dortmund didn't have such bad habits in the transfer market then I think they would be fully capable of breaking Bayern Munich's dominance, but that's Dortmund.

Some teams come with quite a surprise, Leverkusen is one of the teams that has a very significant change in a short time, indirectly it makes Tuchel overwhelmed in defending their title. They have very good consistency, and maybe this could be a big threat to Bayern Munich, if only Leverkusen slipped in the next few games then that was an opportunity for Bayern Munich.

But realizing the dangerous side of gambling is difficult for addicts who are used to it and the habit that has been very attached to themselves and their thoughts. The desire to gamble on them is high so that it can encourage them to always gamble even though they have run out of capital they will do anything to be able to return to gambling and their gambling desires are carried out even though in the end they lose and continue like that which eventually becomes the point where they are heavily addicted to gambling.
The self-control they lack leads them to a disaster that will harm them, with huge losses and also the bad effects that will befall them if they cannot control themselves. This has become commonplace in gamblers, because the greed that is also in them encourages them to always gamble with their greatness ignoring other things because they only focus on gambling that hopes to give them victory.

Yeah addiction brought out the greed inside gamblers mindset, thinking that the venue can bring them huge amount of profits, that kind of thinking where the balance is already polluted by gambling domination inside that person's mindset. It will be difficult to escape if what you only think is about gambling and nothing else.

You need to try harder if you want to escape and quit with this kind of situation, being responsible means you are in control in any situation that you have while you are still participating, without that control you are prone to any level of addiction.

It is because addiction is always related to the sensation that they always want and never know the word finished, the sensation has made them further in their gambling involvement, want to win because they want money and want sensation but do not want to lose, while on the other hand the casino will not easily give you victory, which is why gamblers are very long in the addiction zone because they always want things that are actually quite impossible to get consistently.

The wrong mindset is the starting point of their addiction, unable to see some examples of downturns that have been experienced by others, they don't seem to care about that because their mindset is very disturbed due to the many temptations that they take too seriously. You want to escape from the casino? That's easy, but I would ask if you can forget and not take gambling so seriously? And finally, can you make peace with yourself and commit to changing your mindset to a more logical one that gambling is nothing more than entertainment? If you can do all that then I'm sure it won't be difficult for you to get out of the addiction zone even though you need enough time for all that, but it's better.

Appreciate and try to follow things that will help to lessen the chance of getting addicted, I think if you are still exceeding from your set limits but manage to quit before engaging to much chance that you can still cope up and avoid the addiction still on you, still part of learning process and still on the way to master on how to execute such plan from time to time.
Yes, you are right, even though I still often make mistakes when I'm gambling, but when I still have the awareness to control myself not to continue pursuing something in gambling, I feel that I can still learn in terms of commitment not to pursue anything too much from gambling and it's been proven. If up to now I haven't felt bad effects such as signs of addiction, I've never experienced it, it's just that I always lose control of betting more or less.
I also really agree that respecting yourself or respecting the plan that has been planned not to bet beyond your limits is the key to gambling responsibly without having to experience vices such as addiction and in this case we must continue to rely on ourselves to continue to try our best. someone else suggested.

It seems that you are still in a pretty good consciousness in your gambling activities, and even so it is not impossible that you can enter the addiction zone unconsciously, that's what always happens to people these days, they don't realize that they have entered the addiction because they are too serious in terms of pursuing victory there. And also yes then I hope you will still be able to maintain your firmness in terms of the boundaries that you have made because only that will be able to keep you.

Even though you have not experienced bad things as a result of gambling as I have said above, it will not always rule out the possibility of things that you do not want to happen just like that. Self-control is the most effective way that every gambler must have, if you have lost then you can immediately leave and forget about it, if on the contrary you win then never think about being greedy because usually the final result is even worse.

Another thing is that yes you have said it, that we must be responsible gamblers by only putting an amount that will not be a problem if it ends up losing, in the sense of not exceeding your limits, I also always like that by not putting excessive expectations because. Because sometimes you will be disappointed because you put too much hope in something.

These players have adapted quicker than expected in Barcelona and them style of play, it seems like they've been around longer than expected. They deserve to get the contract extension from Barcelona.
For Jaoa Cancelo, he is very consistent and has always raised his bar when it comes to both defending and  attacking.
For Jaoa Felix! He has also been very precise and explosive when attacking. In attack for Barcelona, after Robert Lewandoski, he comes next in line. I honestly feel like they should get them contracts extended.  The valuation for Joao Felix a bit much though.

Felix wouldn't want to go backwards to Atletico Madrid, they're not attacking like he wants. He'll need to score more goals so he could force the hands of Barcelona management towards extending his contract.
Xavi Hernandez is signing players for the future, a whole lot of good news will come, he just have set formidable foundations for the club to stand competitive and strong against oppositions. With the amazing aides from these new players, I strongly belive a whole lot of things focusing positive results will happen in the club. Barcelona new signings are exceptionally doing really good and they quickly adapt the game pattern of Barcelona without facing any challenge. IIkay Gundogan, João Félix and João Cancelo are my favorite signings in Barcelona and these players will enchanced the performance of the team.
Barcelona are not short of talented players, but their only problem is that their financial conditions are not favorable. If in good financial conditions maybe the top players they can pay and will not worry anymore about who to sell and who to keep. Lewa presence alone is enough to make a big contribution on the front lines. Joao Felix played with passion because for him there was no way back, so playing as optimally as possible was his last choice at Barcelona. Similarly, Joao Cancelo at Man City his position will be easily replaced by Pep Guardiola preferred player. Plus Man City back line competition is tougher than in Barcelona. The same fate was experienced by the Joao duo.

This news was appears because Osimhen podcast with the former of Chelsea player Jhon Obi Mikel that Osimhen said if he want to moved to Premier League then he has 2 clubs to chosed and it was Manchester United or Chelsea but currently Chelsea has plenty of forward players at the team and besides Nkunku Chelsea has Jackson who recently can able to find his shape again and return to scores with Chelsea besides that Osimhen price will be so expensive and i don't think buy Osimhen could be a good transfer for Chelsea
Although there are already Nkuku and Jackson, if Osimhen to Chelsea will provide additional strength that makes the Blues more effective in sharpening their attack. To Manchester United? So difficult, the club did not dare to spend more funds, Erik Ten Hag is clearly not the type of coach who wants players like Osimhen. Just leave Man United with Ten Hag favorite formation, it is difficult to include a great player like Osimhen. In the hands of a Ten Hag the ability that Osimhen has will not develop.

Yeah Ramsdale is unsettled at Arsenal right now but that doesn't means Chelsea will sign him. Chelsea already had recently signed Robert Sanchez and signing another good and experienced player will add another player at bench. It will be same situation for Ramsdale again. Even if there is rumour, I don't think it will materialize in the end. I feel Sanchez is a very strong keeper and doing a great job. It is their defence which is letting them down.
The challenges of this season are getting tougher and Chelsea need a goalkeeper of sufficient quality. Perhaps considering options other than Robert Sanchez is also necessary. At least Ramsdale who lost his regular position at Arsenal will be highly motivated if he gets an offer from another club.

That's the reason why some other gamblers here are doubting or maybe totally backing off since they have same name used by a well known scam casino. They should base the reaction made by many people posting on their thread so they need to step up and explain something since its important for them to clear up some confusion regarding on their relation with 1xbit. If there's still no answer coming from them then people would really think that 0xbet and 1xbit is related company.

Although we should give a benefit of the doubt since no information has totally proven so we should wait for their answer regarding on the running discussion made by people since there are so many curious people want to know if they are working with 1xbit or just use the name because they like how it sounds.
Including me, I still feel these doubts to this day, just like what other gamblers feel. Maybe one of the reasons is because 0x and Ox are always questioned by every gambler because they are identical and considered derivatives of casinos which in this forum are famous for their fraudulent activities.
The casino said they took 0x from the Ethereum wallet prefix. However, this reason alone is not enough, so the only strong support is evidence. And if there is no incriminating evidence then everyone should feel safe for now.

Yes, money that becomes a medium of exchange with the sensation of pleasure in my opinion is equivalent because the sensation that is felt also makes us happy, although sometimes upset with the defeat that is obtained, but in my opinion it is equivalent to the sensation felt by each player because the name is also a game there will definitely be a win or lose but if you lose continuously we should be aware, instead of chasing losses that can make us even lose more money. They will not easily realize the money they have lost a lot because of gambling, maybe they will realize when they have lost a lot and when they don't have money anymore, they will think about it. By realizing the losses they have experienced it might make them realize and stop gambling and start a new business that can be profitable for themselves.

And in my opinion, with gambling that produces but is not sure that it will always be profitable for them, of course it is better for them to start their own business with the potential to grow big if it is carried out properly and the management is also good. if they already have a lot of new money they can gamble with the value of bets that might be large but it's better if they don't do gambling si. Or even do gambling by just making it as entertainment because if they are lucky, they will definitely make a profit for themselves.
Gamblers who lose when gambling will only feel annoyed and regretful because they have used too much money and will want to try to recover their losses. He knew it might not be easy but he still wanted to try because he still had money and wanted to try his luck even though the percentage of winning was small. That's a person who still wants to take the risk of losing by using his money to try to recover from his losses. But if he could learn from what happened, he wouldn't want to try it because it would mean he had the possibility of losing more than he could have imagined and there was a chance he would lose all his money at once. The sensation of win will only stay for some time but the sensation of loss will stay longer and he will think about it all the time and want to recover from his loss.

Gambling can indeed make money, but they may experience a lot of losses before they can win. Unfortunately, the wins they can get are not as big as the losses they have achieved. And if they realize that and don't rely on gambling to make money and can look for other alternatives, such as getting a job or starting their own business, that can definitely give them the opportunity to make money. And it would be better for them to make money in their efforts than for them to try to make money from gambling, which would definitely be more difficult.

They continue like that, not realizing that they are already rich when counting the money they have lost due to gambling. With the aim of recovering losses it is very unlikely to happen. In fact, if it's like that, in my opinion, they will lose more money because the victory that never gets and uncontrollable emotions make them want to continue to pursue victory or restore the losses they have experienced. people like this are usually people who cannot accept risks so they always gamble continuously. And it's true that you said the sensation of winning will last for a while unlike the sensation of losing which they will certainly feel for a long time.

I think the percentage of wins and losses in gambling will definitely be greater than the percentage of losses. Because in any gambling there is already a bookie who organizes everything and the bookie will also not easily give just any victory to the players. And the victory obtained by them will also not be comparable to the defeat they feel like you said that, many depend on gambling so they make gambling their main income. But of course this is wrong, they should look for work for the main income or open a business, and can imagine the money that has been lost because of gambling, if you think about it, it seems like it can be used to start a business that will certainly be profitable.
