Those that keep their gambling habit a secret is it that they're not proud of what they are doing?.
There could be different reasons why people keep their gambling life a secret. It could be because they're a private people and don't want to let their life out to the public records for judgement as some society aren't yet civilized to the point which they won't see gambling as a bad thing. Some society discourage people from gambling as they consider it to be destructive and not biblical and this are society that has some much respect for religion like the muslim brothers. While some society don't allow the female gander to gamble so they don't do it openly. Some people both man and woman hide their gambling life because of the discrimination that comes from been seen as a gambler. People think everybody gambling is addicted and losing money so they stay away from them which is why those gambling hide it from others. There can be two reasons why gamblers will want not to disclose that they are gambling. The number 1 reason can be society. In this case, the gambler may be living in a society where gambling is not considered a good thing and he does not want other people to know that he is gambling. The number 2 reason can be the pressure from the family who do not want him to gamble. It can be his wife forcing him to stop gambling or his parents (if he is unmarried) asking to stop gamble. |

Indian team batted very well in this match however the openers still failed in this match. They lost two wickets for 34 runs, Yashasvi Jaiswal made only 1 and Shubman Gill was dismissed for 6 runs only. However, Suryakumar Yadav made 83 runs and Tilak Varma made 49 runs and resulting in the first win.
Shubman Gill, the most in-form player of this year's IPL, has failed in three matches in this T20 series. If you look at Shubman Gill's run figures in three matches, you can imagine how bad his position is! 1st match 3(9) Second match 7(9) Third match 6(11) But the happy thing is that Shubman Gill will not have to answer for the next match as India won the match tomorrow. But Hardik Pandya may decide to change him. With Yashsavi Jaiswal getting out for one run on his debut, the pressure will surely be on him to perform well in the next match. Changing Shubman Gill for the next match can further put pressure on him and what are the choices for the Indian team in replacement of Shubman Gill ? I think the Indian management should not do too much experiment with the openers at this moment. Keep in mind that he was a star player in the last IPL and also major tournaments like Asia Cup and World Cup are around the corner, so India should not be left him out at this point. Also when India has won this match, keep him on board, maybe he regains his form in the next two remaining matches of this series. |

A drug addict will always find new excuses to consume drugs. Just like that any addict, it doesn’t matter what he is addicted to, we’ll find a way to get back in his addiction. I generally have seen some people stop their addiction because they were somehow facing some problems because of their addiction. The people who are smart stay away from those things. People who are careful, stops the addiction as soon as it starts harming them. However, those who lack sagacity or struggle to exert control over their own cognitive faculties find themselves perpetually ensnared by their compulsions. It is true for both drugs and gambling. And those people who understand very well that they are harming themselves by doing so, I have zero sympathy for them. If you cannot control what you are doing, it is your fault, learn to take accountability.
Talk about any addiction whether it be drugs, sex or gambling, it is that the person like that activity too much that he can't live without it and this make him addicted to this. People who are addicted have no control over themselves to refrain from those activities and therefore we can them addicted. Coming to gambling ,the addiction is far more as there is an urge to get more money and this make the addiction even stronger. Anyone who is an alcoholic addict's, only need to drink and smoke etc, but a gambler have greediness in mind which makes it even more dangerous and hard to overcome. |

India team performance was good in the last match as everyone was expecting this. West Indies made almost same target as previous match. But in the last match fortunately West Indies won the match but in this match India showed its power. And there is 2 matches left of this series if India will win these 2 matches than Indian will win the series. And now the series is scoring at 2-1.
Suryakumar Yadav alone changed the game. I watched the game full game except for the last few overs. West Indies was 50 without a loss, and I was expecting them to score around 180-190 because they had ten wickets in hand. But, Pandya used their bowler very cleverly to restrict West Indies under 160. I was expecting another great show from Pooran but a single batter cannot perform every day. I placed a bet against India hoping West Indies will give their best and try to win the series with 2 matches to go. I lost my bet but good to see India play well with some young players. Pandya could give a chance to Tilak Varma to score a single run to fulfil his half-century. In the third T20 match, the Indian team won by performing very well. Surayakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma played the biggest role in ensuring the victory of the Indian team in this difficult result for India. And after losing two matches to the West Indies, the Indian team is still strong and it is a proof of that. Although the Indian team had a fall of wickets in the beginning, they performed better later on. And the West Indies bowling did not perform well especially with many fielding misses. The downfall of the West Indies team is confirmed mainly due to bowling. India's batting was a big concern in the first two games, mainly because their best batter struggled. But in the third T20I, SKY's scored runs and led India to a strong win. A dominating performance overall. Surayakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma were the heroes in this chase. Unfortunately, Tilak missed his half-century due to a deliberate play by Pandya. Now India's target should be to draw the series first and then win it 3-2. Indian team batted very well in this match however the openers still failed in this match. They lost two wickets for 34 runs, Yashasvi Jaiswal made only 1 and Shubman Gill was dismissed for 6 runs only. However, Suryakumar Yadav made 83 runs and Tilak Varma made 49 runs and resulting in the first win. The Indian team are back in business and I don't think they are in any mood to lose this series. The next and the 4th match of this series will be played at Lauderhill on August 12. It will be important for both teams. |

I noticed that when I start to play games like keno, limbo, dice, etc. First some bets don't hit and after wagering some percentage of my balance it starts to hit,
How it works? like when we wager we have more probability to hit win, anyone noticed this? Do you know how it works and what is the calculation behind it?, do server sends outcomes by checking our wager?
I do not know which platform you use for gambling ? Usually in a good trusted casino, you will not face this and no matter if you play your first game or many games , the games will not follow this pattern and each game has equal chances of win or lose regardless of how many games you play. If the games are tampered with, then only these things can happen to attract the gamblers to give them wins in their first few games to make them play more and then make them lose, This should not happen in legit gambling sites. Or maybe you were lucky to always win initially and then lose. Try to play few games , win and then quit for the day.  |

The Nigeria women team needs more encouragement and support, they did their best for the country, no one ever gave them the chance to scale through the group stage, but they did and gave England women a tough fight in the knock out stage.
Everyone through that England wil outshined the super falcon but they found it hard, The falcon were just unlucky they missed so many chances for goals. They couldn't covert their chances.
Penalty is just a lucky game, any one can win it.its 50/50. And the Nigeria women was out of luck to scale through to the quarter finals. England women deafed them by 4/2 on shoot out.
Morroco is the only Africa team remaining in the composition now, I wish they win France women and get to the Quarter finals.
Well, one team has to win and the other team has to lose in the knockout stages. They were beaten on plenty's therefore no hard feelings for them except i would say bad luck. Nigeria's team can take good memories from this world cup as they managed to play the round of 16 but could not qualify for the quarterfinals. By the way, the Round of 16 has ended and now the Quarterfinals will be played this Friday and Saturday. |

If you are onto gambling for the first time it's not possible to get addicted to gambling because you haven't tasted what winning feels like, you will be consumed by doubts and uncertainty.
But wait till you have a taste, win some money, that's where you start feeling like there is more if you keep digging, is this not where gambling addiction starts?
We have had a lot of conversations about gambling addiction, but I had the same conversation with someone close yesterday and this was my answer to him.
Do you think its possible to become addicted to gambling when you haven't win a dime or after you win?
I think addiction starts after you win, even if it's just once, that's when you start gambling recklessly and you also start betting higher.
Interesting read, I must say because it is quite true. Only those who have actually tasted the winnings of gambling, get more induced with the greed to win more and slowly the addiction is formed. Afterall, what's the definition of addiction if it is not an unholy habit that has become a steady pattern of activity. Where an addiction becomes a problem is when it doesn't provide any good result, but in a case where it does, I think it can be called passion. A passionate gambler should of course be one who wins and loves gambling so much. Still, when a gambler loses so much more than winning, and doesn't seem to slow down to think about the financial impact on their balance, mental and physical well-being, both for themselves and family, then it is reckless. If anyone keeps losing like a beginner and never gets any luck to win any interval or wager, but keeps spending money, it has become a problem already, because such a person has failed to acknowledge that maybe gambling isn't something they should channel their energy to. Well, the point is that everyone faces the wins in gambling and everyone faces the losses too. You will never find a gambler who will always win or who is always on the losing side. So I would say that it is greed that makes a gambler addicted. The gambler starts to believe that if he only gambles and does nothing else in life, he can still make money and feed his family. This thing will make him lazy and also he will do aggressive gambling and eventually a time will come when he will be addicted to it (while he may never admit it) |

What makes you think that a person who is addicted to gambling won't just go to the settings and unblock the websites they use to gamble? The urge to gamble can make an addicted gambler do anything only to get access to gambling if they have got money, so this wouldn't really be able to stop them from gambling in my opinion. It might be useful if someone isn't yet addicted and they want to reduce their screen time with gambling because they can control the urge.
A gambler who has become a heavy addict can only be stopped if someone else helps them get out of it, maybe reduce their access to their devices or make them get access to only a limited amount of money and keep the rest somewhere safe so that they can use them later when needed.
This is same as you talking about self discipline and restrictions. Self discipline plays a big role in ones life by helping an individual to controlling their excess towards something and gambling is not exempted from it. As you can see, what I have said is not a difficult one for anybody who wants to limit or stop their gambling habits. Lots of people have contributed to this in one way or the other on how addicted gamblers can minimise their gambling habits and back to their normal self but I believe doing this takes a gambler who is prepared to do the needful in limiting their gambling lifestyle. So therefore, if anyone is ready to limit their gambling habits, they could do just this small exercise so as to achieve their aim without any bias. It would not cost anything to just follow the steps coupled with self discipline and consistency. Yeah with determination and willingness it's doable but if there's none that self-discipline will serve as a word and nothing will be change, it's easy saying that with this or with that you can accomplished something but in reality, it's hard to practice what is easy for us to say, but if you are into this problem specifically with gambling addiction where denial still inside you, that self-discipline thing will be tougher to practice from time to time, to the point that you will mostly exceed and suffer than the numbers that you will manage to stop and use your set limitations. I have been tired of hearing the methods to stop online gambling addiction when there does not exist any method to get rid of addiction except the willingness and the urge by the gambler himself to avoid it and become a responsible gambler. No person and no force can earth can stop a gambling addict from online gambling even if you put restrictions on such a person or advice him to limit his gambling activities. He needs to make a promise to himself that he is willing to get rid of his gambling addiction. |

I wonder why real or land based casinos are not offering a virtual or online version of their casino ( I never seen one yet). If they can afford to open a physical casino it seems easy for them to invest in a virtual one as well, possibly combining both to create an experience similar to what Evolution Gaming offers.
And if you are asking why i thought about this it’s simply because by doing it they can expand their business to reach and provide a more reliable and trustworthy platform for gamblers. Just recently we have seen unfortunate cases where online casinos have scammed users and disappeared with their deposits, often due to unknown teams and creators behind these platforms
This is really a valid suggestion and I wonder why the casinos have not thought about it. The purpose of the casino business is to attract gamblers and make money. If the casino opens both physical and online versions of the casino, this would mean that they will attract both type of audience, the one who want to visit to a physical casino and the other one who would like to stay at home and gamble. As the popularity of online casinos is increasing with every passing day, it is essential for physical casinos to have an online presence of their casino. Those casinos that adapt to the new changes are likely to survive as compared to those who don't like the change. |

Nigeria vs England
The match between Nigeria vs England in the Round of Sixteen was a tightly contested match. The Nigeria vs England Women's match was a goalless draw at full time. Despite a tough competition between the two teams, England eventually won against Nigeria through penalties. England confirmed the Super Eight by defeating Nigeria on penalties with a margin of 4-2 goals.
I was a Nigerian supporter in today's match but unfortunately the team I support lost in the tiebreaker. A win against England today would have ensured Nigeria a place in the quarter finals as an African nation but unfortunately they lost on penalties. Congratulations to Nigeria for losing against England but fighting hard and then losing.
The Nigerian team played very well and they were level with England till the finish time. However, England win on the penalties 4-2 and qualified for the Quarterfinals. Before going into the match, England was the favourites and also they haven't lost any match in the group stages too and topped in their group D. England will meet Jamaica or Colombia in the Quarterfinals. |

Anyone looking on the T20 squad will say, it is hard to beat this team. It is accepted that the bowling line-up isn't the best, but with the batting line-up unable to score atleast 180 runs is really bad. Looking the scores of the two matches played it is well known that the team isn't good enough to play a team like West Indies. Maybe they're good in playing against teams like Netherlands and Ireland. In the first match they weren't able to score 150 runs and win the match and in the second match just 152 runs scored, shame on the performance.
By the way now the West Indies won two matches and it means it has won the series too. What will we do with squad if they will lose the matches continuously. In the both two matches both teams made almost 150 runs which I think not a good target for the other team. But in both cases India wasn't able to chase or stop the opposite team to chase the target. Really bad performance India team. West Indies won the first two matches of the T20 series but they still did not win the series. Remember that it is a five matches series. However, now the Indian team has to win all the remaining three matches in order to win the series. Also, I am confident that a team like India is fully capable to come back in the series. Again I would say that Indian batsmen failed in this match too and a score of 152 was never going to be enough. I don't know what's is going on with the Indian batting line up  |

Today as match was going in first half I was really surprised with the performance of the Sweden team because this was beyond my expectations as USA playing aggressively I was expecting good number of goals but nothing happen, and they have to face penalties which was surely not good because in today match luck was not near their quality and performance...
USA resisted and disqualified because of penalties which isn't that bad after all. South Africa was the first African country to leave the World Cup and I suppose African will follow North American in leaving the race tho. Australia will follow? Spain and Japan made great victories with 5 goals and 3 goals respectively and only receiving 1 goal each. What I could say of the USA situation is that they are not lucky this time, they actually played well and defended right too. But as we all know, the penalty is a game of luck, and the Swedish side had the luck this time as fate would have it. I only share the pains of the USA team which is the defending champion, it's so sad that they were knocked out at the very beginning of the knockout stage. And as for your analysis, dream on, Africans might surprise you this time, especially the Nigerian team, they are far better than their men. One of the most interesting matches I witness in this round of 16 where the Sweden women's team won against the United States women's team on the penalties. By the full time both the teams were 0-0 and the game went to the penalties which the Sweden team won by 5-4. At the end of the match, we can clearly see the joy on the faces of the Swedish girls while the USA team were disappointed as they played well but were eliminated on penalties. So far 3 right guesses and 1 wrong one
In my defense, the USA vs Sweden match was extremely difficult, 0-0, no goals, extra time and penalties, hard to predict
I would not call this match as a wrong prediction on your side. It is unfair to say this because the match went into penalties and from there on in, there is no one in the world who can predict it correctly. It's all about luck and the United States remained unlucky. |

Sometimes i think that gambling is not important to society but it is the society that can't live without gambling. There are people who can't sleep well if they do not gamble on the day but this does not mean that gambling has become important. Gambling addiction and its associated problems are genuine concerns that can't be overlooked. Even though some individuals might approach gambling responsibly, there's no denying that a significant portion might fall into the trap of chasing profits, leading to financial and emotional distress. I think proper education with regard to addictions and many forms of it would be a great deal of help.
Society needs to define what is good or bad for them or at least try to understand the bad aspects of gambling and avoid them. If you are a responsible gambler then you do no harm to yourself, and to the society but if you're an addicted gambler, then you will soon become a burden on the society. |

Which are best stake alternatives
I search for good casinos with similar original games
stake.com is one of the best gambling casino platform that is trusted and one of the best. I would call it the best as this platform is very popular now and stake is promoting various sports sponsors. But I wouldn't consider this stake to be the best, even though it is still being promoted on the BitcoinTalk forum. But I claim that many of the more trusted casino platforms currently promoting testimonials are very good and great. There are a few more top-listed casino platforms like Stake, such as Duelbet, Rollbet, Roobet, BC.game, sportsbet, trust dice etc. I think they are great and all these casino platforms have been promoting them for a long time for loyal gambling. Yes, there are still many gamblers who use Stake.com and make it the main choice as a reliable gambling site because Stake.com has a pretty good reputation and has become the biggest gambling site. But from the several site names that you mentioned as alternatives to Stake.com, only Duelbet, Rollbet and Roobet are the best alternatives because of the three sites you can really rely on and can be trusted even the team service is always good. The name Stake.com explains it all, don't you think? The biggest, the finest, and the only destination for all of a gambler's wants and needs. You mentioned Duelbet, Rollbet, and Roobet as well. Therein is dependability. You're in good shape if you wagered on them. However, nothing compares to Stake. Not even a particle Why not these other websites, the ones that you did not mention? There must be a rationale, or perhaps there is none, who knows? Stake is superior, that is a fact. It is as indisputable as the sun rising or your alarm clock going off too early. You already know that Stake is on top, but we could explore further, couldn't we? If you are playing at stake, then there is no way anyone needs to find its alternative provided he is trying to check out other sites. The ones you mentioned above like Duelbet are good too but I don't think anyone who is a regular player at stake will be willing to move out of stake. At stake, you will find both casino and sports betting's and i must say that they have the most comprehensive and detailed coverage of almost all sports and here you can bet on any match you want. Personally, i usually bet on sports and i always get very good odds here. |

Batting was a big concern for India in the first match. Apart from Tilak Varma, none of the other batsmen even got a start. Suryakumar Yadav struggled against the West Indian bowlers, and looked as if he hasn't adjusted to the ground conditions. For the second match, Yashasvi Jaiswal maybe brought in, replacing one of the spinners. Either Kuldeep Yadav or Yuzvendra Chahal need to sit out. This will help them in reducing the length of the tail. During the first T20I, lower order didn't added much runs for India. West Indies are down and out in test and ODI but remain competitive in T20 format of the game. Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo who are performing too good in T20 leagues are not part of west indies T20I squad and that's something strange. For India its a must win game to remain in the series otherwise it will be difficult to make a come back in this series. To my surprise, India has started badly in this 2nd ODI too and they are two down for only 27 runs. Shubman Gill was caught and bowled by Joseph while Suryakumar Yadav was run out by a direct hit. India needs some good partnerships now to recover from this situation. However, if you see the current odds of the match, they are still pretty even which shows that bookies still believe that India will come back in the match.  |

Experience will indeed be a good provision in any case including sports betting and so on, but all of that must be learned, especially mistakes in analyzing. And Another thing that successful sports bettors usually have is strong analytical skills, and don't easily believe any signal until you have done good research. when it comes to sports betting, there is a huge amount of data that needs to be analyzed in its entirety with great care. To be successful, you must be able to review and interpret historical data, betting odds, injured players and more. Without these skills, it is difficult to succeed in the long term. So each experience must be structured to correct mistakes and improve skills and abilities in analysis. In sports betting, we really depend on analysis, so we must be able to analyze it well. Do not rely on other people's analysis because it does not improve our analytical skills. By learning to analyze, our ability to analyze will increase because the more we learn, the more we can analyze well. And with the experience we get from the analysis results, it is also useful to improve the ability to analyze it. And don't forget to check the results of your analysis to learn more in case something was missed from your analysis. Analysis may help in sports betting but i think it is excessive gambling which is the major cause of this loss for the gamblers. When you try to gamble on all the matches or most of the matches, it is likely that you will lose many games. Apart from analysis, it is more important to see the odds of the matches and chose only selective matches to bet on. Also while choosing the matches and the odds, also consider if the bet is worth to take. Does it offer enough ROI. For example, if anyone bets with odds 0f something like 1.03, it means he is risking too much money for too little rewards. Things like these need to be analysed before making sports bets. |

Someone recently won $46,606 from making a correct prediction on one of the matches in the on-going 2023 FIFA Women World Cup competition from his wager of $10 on a sports betting website. The person is unemployed and within the ages of 20 - 23. He lives with his parents who are strict religious people that frown on gambling and other youthful vices. His parents are certainly not going to be happy that their son engages in gambling despite winning such huge amount of money. He doesn't want them to be upset with him. He says he's going to keep it a secret. I disagreed with him because despite having strict parents, they are going to be mad at him for a little while but I don't think they'll tell him to return the money. What do you guys think? Should he tell his parents or secretly invest the money while acting his regular self around the house?
How can you win $46000 from only 10$ in a sports bet? That seems impossible to me. What were the odds of those matches? Can you share which match did he bet Now coming to the query that whether he should tell his parents or not, I think there will be no option for him but to inform his parents otherwise how can he keep saving all this money? I do not know the reaction of his parents, they might get greedy seeing all this money or they may fortify the money if they are too religious and won't take any money coming through gambling. |

Drake threw $250,000 on Nate Diaz to beat Jake Paul with 4 to 1 odds. I think he’s probably just hoping to get himself a million dollar payout and didn’t see much gain in betting on Jake Paul. While this does make me think maybe Jake isn’t the sure thing I think he is, it’s not enough to get me to follow him. I still say Jake wins by stoppage.
We all know that Drake loves to throw money on bets that usually doesn't make sense, because he has the capacity to just bet on whoever he likes at the bout. Jake is a decent boxer. Not particularly good, but can throw some decent punches and has a good stamina. If this fight goes the distance, he'd probably win against Nate. But if Jake couldn't really handle the punches Nate is throwing at him, this is a $1m payout for Drake. Stamina-wise, Jake is the better choice. Though in punching power and overall ability to create space and close it, Nate should do this quite easily. Well in this case, for the first time I am routing for Drake, haha. 4:1 seems quite high for Nate Diaz, he is definitely able to beat JP. He just needs to watch out for the hard punches. If he controls the tempo and follows his game plan there is a good chance to be victorious. I just hope it's not a rigged fight. With all these "exhibitions" you never know these days. Jake Paul wins and beats Nate Diaz. I did not find the match live but watched the highlights here Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz - FullFight HighlightsAlso, I don't think these exhibition matches are rigged because if we think that way, then all the excitement and fun of watching these matches will be gone.  |

India Vs West Indies
Today will be the second match of West Indies vs India T20 series. India lost the first match due to poor batting. In the first match, West Indies scored 149 runs, India managed to score 145 runs and lost by 4 runs. West Indies received more support as they were playing at home. In today's match I think India will have more chances to win because India's bowling and batting line is better than West Indies. West Indies batting line is good but bowling line is a bit weak. However, West Indies will get a bit more support as they play at their home ground.
Batting was a big concern for India in the first match. Apart from Tilak Varma, none of the other batsmen even got a start. Suryakumar Yadav struggled against the West Indian bowlers, and looked as if he hasn't adjusted to the ground conditions. For the second match, Yashasvi Jaiswal maybe brought in, replacing one of the spinners. Either Kuldeep Yadav or Yuzvendra Chahal need to sit out. This will help them in reducing the length of the tail. During the first T20I, lower order didn't added much runs for India. India needs to bat well in the 2nd T20 which will be played today at Providence. They cannot afford to lose another match and put themselves under a lot of pressure. The top order batsmen Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav needs to perform in this match as they failed in the last match. Shubman Gill played for Gujarat Titans in this year's IPL and made 890 runs in 17 matches. He needs to get his form back and perform in a similar manner. India has high hopes from this young man. |

Japan's women's team made a remarkable attack today and secured a last minute 1-3 victory over Norway. Although it was confirmed today that the Japan women's team will advance to the quarter-finals, it is possible.
Japan women's team continue their winning streak and win the match against Norway by 3-1. The match was equal at the half time but in the 2nd half Japan women's team score two more goals and made the task impossible for the Norway girls. What are your guesses? As I said above it is always good to hear different opinions to learn more and have other point of view
Let go our guesses. You have predicted the first two matches correctly and now we only focus on your predictions. Even in the third match between Netherlands and South Africa, at half time Netherlands are leading by 1-0. Netherlands x South Africa Man you are genius  |
