with a bet amount of $1 to win $2500 does your friend bet on sports betting?

let me guess, is your friend betting for the first time? I mean, if your friend often bets, he certainly not fall ill for 3 days because he failed to win. because someone who has often bet on all types of bets will never feel as deep a disappointment as your friend and usually the disappointment will only appear for a few days and will disappear by itself without having to get sick.

I am a little curious about your friend and I am sure this is the first time he experienced this, even though cases like this have often happened, but no one has fallen ill just because of $1. maybe you need to give him advice and say that gambling is luck and if it fails, just think that the day is ready and gambling will not be that easy to give money to its customers.


TBH, I often experience this in sports betting with multi bets and the bet amount is usually $10-30, but when I fail to get it, it is very disappointing when I fail just because I lose one match, but I dont think about it deeply and I just consider it unlucky today.

PSG's surprise performances this year are not acceptable. I mean, I can actually accept it considering those who left the team, but if you are such a big team, then you have to compensate for those deficiencies with new players. It seems like Dembele still hasn't been able to fix that deficiency. The championship in League 1 was certain, but that is not certain anymore.
at the moment, its not just PSG, I think even all the teams in League 1 are not yet stable and in terms of consistency they are very low, such as PSG, Lens and Marseille have not provided consistent or unstable performances. so I am not too worried about this because the match is still very long and there are still lots of opportunities for the top teams to improve the quality their performance and for now I think that Dembele still looks good when playing for PSG, its just that his performance looks less than optimal and on the one hand not only Dembele, Mbappe, the teams mainstay player, has also been performing less than perfect lately.

In my opinion, Eden Hazard's retirement was not a good idea because, if we look at Eden Hazard's age, he was still able to play. It is true that he has spent all the time on the bench due to injuries. But it was not a good idea to lose hope in football only because of injuries, but now it has happened. But in my opinion, Eden Hazard should have continued his career as a player; it was not necessary to stay at Real Madrid and go to other clubs and further continue his career and make his career individuals status by winning trophies.

Before retirement, many clubs took an interest in Eden Hazard, so they should have left and should not have been demotivated and disappointed with football due to injuries. There were many players who did not end their careers due to short-term injuries, but after recovery, they started to struggle more and started performing better than in the past. But anyway, it has its own deception; we can only express our opinion and nothing else.
many people dont agree with Eden Hazard decision but he has made a very wise decision for himself because after all the injuries he has experienced have caused his performance to decline and it is also very difficult for teams from europe to offer him a contract because these teams know that his performance is no longer there. reliable so that no european team was willing to offer him a contract while he still wanted to be in a european team and also I heard rumors from several media that actually from other leagues there were those who had interest in signing him but he refused and decided to retire. It is very disappointing to see Eden Hazard retire early after a great career with the talent he has and now he has decided to leave football and after all he will still be remembered as the best midfielder.

Quote from: Pokapoka124
Manchester City without Kelvin De Bruyne and Rodri is an overhyped team. The absence of both players have had a negative impact on the team’s performance in the last three games including defeat to Arsenal this weekend which is the most recent lose they have conceded. Gabriel Martinelli’s goal was enough to give Arsenal a win. Arsenal will treasure this win, the team have worked hard to come this far, good work to Mikel Arteta, trusting the process is finally paying off.

Manchester city are really missing those two players De Bruyne and Rodri in some matches that made their opponent to defeated them to reduced their position in the premier league table, and is not giving their coach joy seen wolves and Arsenal defeated them in this season. Based on what is happening to Manchester city in two matches now will make their coach to do everything possible to make De Bruyne and Rodri to recover from their injuries so that they will be part of their next match to maintain their good position back. Despite, De Bruyne and Rodri where not part of the match that gave Arsenal victory, but they still found it difficult to achieve that one goal Gabriel martinellis manage to help them to achieved to secured victory.
De Bruyne and Rodri are like key players in Man City and without the presence of these two key players Man City is less than perfect in terms of performance. we can compare the presence of these players and the absence of these players It is indeed very worrying to see that De Bruyne has not recovered from his injury and Rodri has suffered a foul and has to wait several matches to cross the foul line and this problem is that Guardiola should immediately look for the right players to replace these two players because otherwise Man City future will be a little more difficult. because in the EPL there are strong challenger teams such as Arsenal and Spurs who will continue to put more pressure on the point difference.

hopefully in the next match against Brighton Guardiola will have the right strategy to secure another win.

If someone is married and his income is unstable, he should stay away from gambling and look for a better job to meet his daily needs. If he thinks of gambling to double it, it will not work well but he may end up losing and losing his money in gambling. But if he could get a better job, he could make money from his salary to make ends meet. Instead of gambling and not being able to make money, finding a job would be better for him.

If he already has a very large income, he shouldn't gamble because we know that gambling can give someone problems. Even though he can now control himself well, there are times when a person is weak and ends up gambling and he can lose control of himself. That's when he will find it easy to deposit more money to gamble and that's where problems after problems will start to emerge. He can find enjoyment from gambling that can make him return to gambling more often than when he first gambled.
you provide a good summary of your opinion about this and indeed if you already have family ties or are married and have the responsibility to provide for your family, it would be better to stay away from gambling to avoid very bad risks in the long or short term.

and for someone who is not married or is just dating and not married, it is up to them whether they want to take wise steps to avoid gambling or continue gambling, but for me reducing gambling activities and always using a small budget would be better.

He could have extended his legacy if he kept playing football in Europe and win another title at the age of 38 or 39 or even 40. His choice to go to Saudi Arabia when he started failing at Manchester United was not the most impressive move. But he was after the money and that's probably understandable when you are offered so much money. But I doubt that his fans, especially the younger generations, follow as much what he is doing in Saudi Arabia as they would if he was still playing for a great club in Europe.
for me, it does not really matter if after failing at Man United, he decides to earn more money in Saudi Arabia to get a guarantee of a big salary after he retires, thats very natural and I admit that his physique is very strong, even his stamina is still very strong, and even though he does not can get another title in europe but he can increase the popularity of football in Saudi Arabia and this is a challenge for Ronaldo.

on the one hand, maybe we dont need to worry too much about the younger generation imitating Ronaldo to go to the SPL because the younger generation of european players find it very difficult to think about going to the SPL because they definitely want to get experience and prestigious titles in Europe before going to Saudi Arabia at a slightly older age. like Ronaldo.
2287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino is a Games of Chance and Entertainment on: October 11, 2023, 03:58:44 AM
Some gamblers can indeed consider gambling as entertainment, but others or perhaps more gamblers think of earning large amounts of money from gambling.
that's what's happening right now and we can't avoid it. those who have limits on their finances at the casino will enjoy it. but those who become very greedy when betting will have worse things in their lives. and it happens a lot around us.
yep, some gamblers think gambling is entertainment for fun but that only in small numbers and in large numbers gamblers think gambling is only about money or as you said to get large amounts of money and they forget how gambling works. from this conclusion, I understand a little because we bet using money and we play using money which means we want to win, but what is really bad is that the gambler is too greedy with his thoughts of wanting to get a large amount, whereas actually gambling has given him a small win and even though it is small, it is in accordance with what he said. we want to maintain our budget so that it does not disappear quickly and can play for fun in a few hours.

and sometimes gamblers who come for entertainment and fun will lose control to chase their losses (not chase money losses) when they experience several consecutive losses and emotions take over their minds, making deposits to be able to beat the gambling and this happens to rich gamblers and ordinary gamblers. and I am sure you have also experienced this incident.

You summarized it quite well and I think the threat from Galatasaray is bigger than some might think at the moment. The problem is not that Manchester United lost one game against Galatasaray, the problem is that they lost their home game against Galatasaray and for everybody who thinks that nothing is lost yet and Manchester United just has to show some quality and beat them in the game in Istanbul, those games are like hell with the Galatasaray fans backing their team. For Manchester United I think the game against Galatasaray will be no easier than the game against Bayern when they played in Munich. The atmosphere and then also the quality that Galatasaray has at the moment both makes me believe that Manchester United will not win that game. And if they don't win it I think they can't qualify for the next round in the Champions League.
before the group phase started, most of the people here said that Galatasaray would not be able to appear strong in the group phase and I also said that the team would not be able to compete with other european teams such as Man United etc. but the fact is that it is not as previously thought that Galatasaray can become a strong challenger to Bayern Munich because from group A the only ones who appear unbeaten are Munich and Galatasaray. this is very worrying if it can surprisingly shift Bayern Munich ranking even though it is impossible I always remember there are surprises in every match so I admit that Galatasaray cannot be underestimated if this team is one of the strong teams in Group A and Bayern Munich must be careful with this team.

It's always the attitude and control of the person though there's influence with the help of credit card knowing that you can use it as good as cash
but like what you mentioned, the high fees will hurt you, especially if you don't have the source for paying.

The interest will kill your you as it will keep increasing once you cannot pay for it. Remember that in each action you take, there's always
responsibilities that you need to consider.

Always think about the possible impact before taking the route. You are dealing with gambling and there's always a bad side-effects if you can't
handle the pressures.
well, from your statement, we can take it from the positive side that using a credit card for gambling not very good and why it is not good, the reason is that you have explained that the interest on using credit card has high costs and actually credit cards are used for more important things and are used. for something more useful, not for gambling. unfortunately there are still a lot of bettors who use credit cards to gamble and if the person has a large income it wont be problem but if they are just an ordinary employee I think the salary money is just to pay credit card bills and is the same as spending money on gambling.
2290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Lady Cried After Losing to Sports Bet. Gambling is Not Your Mate. on: October 10, 2023, 01:17:26 PM
When someone gambles and that person loses, he cannot ask for a refund. The funds that have been lost already belong to the casino and the person cannot ask for them back. That is why when someone plays gambling, he must know the risks because defeat is already ahead and is only a matter of time. Meanwhile, a person will not know when he will win and even if he continues to gamble, it also does not guarantee that he will win. Many people can learn from their mistakes, but more people cannot. It's best for her to stop gambling again if she can't control herself in gambling because she could experience even bigger losses.
looking at the case told by the OP, it was her own mistake to think of gambling as a money multiplier and to place money on sports bets in the hope that her money would be doubled if she won and the woman was stupid, for some reason she had thoughts like that, ignoring the big risks in gambling, even though sports betting can be predicted, but comeback can always happen when the opposing team wins and the chosen team loses.

this is the bad thing about gamblers, not only female gamblers, even male gamblers also have the idea that betting on gambling can earn income and whats worse is betting using money that is used for other things and when they lose and lose their money they will only regret it and cry.
2291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: October 10, 2023, 01:03:28 PM
It is really difficult to say exactly because except successful gamblers new gamblers can become successful once but here is to control yourself. After being successful in gambling if the greed does not work in them then do not fall into addiction. A successful gambler can control everything properly after the victory they do not bet to get more rest for a few days before moving on. A person can be successful not only in gambling but also in other fields. Successful gamblers are not limited to one area they are knowledgeable about all areas.
I have previously said what I want to say, but maybe I need to repeat it to clarify what the OP wrote.

sometimes we definitely have to really think about what it means to be a successful gambler. successful in getting a very big win? or can success always win (impossible)? or gamblers who own their own gambling companies. I still have a lot to think about but these are just a few questions that are in my mind and sometimes someone misunderstands a successful gambler and for me a successful gambler just stops gambling and has his own gambling company. because if you only succeed in getting a big win, it will definitely only be once in your life as you said.

so there are many meanings of a successful gambler, but it all comes down to each individual thoughts and what is certain for me is that a successful gambler is a gambler who is able to fight himself not to keep betting.

Liverpool has to do better, with Tottenham doing something surprising everyone, sucked with Kane for so long and then leading the league the moment they sold him is definitely beyond any Spurs fan could even dream of, Arsenal is still good, City is still good and I think Liverpool can't afford to have games like the last two one where they lost and got a tie. They need to end up with some wins again, and possibly a few in a row at least without ever losing, so that they could get closer to the top.

Premier league looks like one of the hardest leagues for a reason, you can be as good of a team as you get and you are still having trouble because even though you are good, there are other good teams that play amazingly as well.
I dont think Liverpool is having any problems and if you say Man City is still very good you should also say the same thing about Liverpool assessment. because Man City lost 2x while Liverpool only lost 1x and drew 1x, this is better than having to lose losing points and I see Liverpool is still stable at the moment, its just that the defeat against Spurs is just like an unlucky day because Matip did an OG and was lucky for Spurs in One side of Liverpool players also had to leave the field because of a red card.

If Matip did not make a mistake in that match it would definitely end in a draw, it could even be said that Liverpool is still very good and consistent with the draw against Brighton.
2293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: They know the truth but they don't want to accept it, publicly on: October 10, 2023, 07:47:13 AM
It has to be like that, but like I said, they want to make money from gambling, so they decide to keep gambling with even more money. They think they can get a big win especially if they increase their bets to double. But actually, their risk of losing will also be greater than before. That is why they must be fully aware of how to treat gambling as entertainment and not gamble excessively. Apart from that, they must also have self-control and money and time limits when gambling to prevent large losses. And yes, gambling responsibly is what we can do to prevent losses and serious problems such as gambling addiction, which many people have experienced.
gambling responsibly, self control, and planning a budget for gambling, all of these are just ways to prevent losing more money and everything will come back to each person mindset. the reason I say this is because currently there are many people who have the wrong mindset towards gambling and whats worse, consider gambling as a place to earn income and there are many people who always increase their budget for gambling in the hope of getting bigger results while casinos dont will never give you a big win unless you are lucky.

It not very good to do this and its better to think about the bad risks involved in gambling so you dont expect too much from gambling.
2294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: October 10, 2023, 07:15:21 AM
there should be no mistakes for a gambler. don't they gamble for fun? If a mistake results in a defeat then that is very natural because this is a game where there are losers and winners. we will be grateful if it is a victory, and we will learn if it is a defeat.
Even if you are just gambling for the fun of it you can still make mistakes that can easily ruin your mood, as it is not rare for example to bet more money in a single bet than what it was your intention, due to a mistaken mouse click or keystroke, and by the time you realize your mistake you already wagered that money away and you lost your bet, and when that happens you know very well you have no recourse to complain to the casino as this was your fault, and suddenly what it was a nice and fun session becomes an infuriating one.
and also the gambler who comes with intention of having fun ends up losing all his money when gambling on bad day with consecutive losses and he loses control and becomes emotional and angry after risking all his money to chase those losses. well, this problem also often occurs because most gamblers always lose to their own emotions and in this case it is almost the same as what you described only concept is different and every mistake that occurs and occurs because of personal mistakes, I think it would be very silly if we complained to the parties casino.

Gambling addiction can disrupt a person's financial condition and even his family if he is married. And if that happens, the family may experience small problems such as being unable to meet their living needs because the money is used for gambling. They use their money to gamble because they think they can win some money to meet their daily needs but that's not the reality.
all of this is due to insufficient financial factors to meet daily needs. I mean when someone is married and their income is unstable or they really need money every day and sometimes someone immediately thinks about gambling to double their money but that is a wrong thought but I often see people who are married have a bad mindset like this.

and for me it not matter if a gambler who is married is addicted to gambling if he has a very large income so that no matter what happens his finances remain stable and can meet his daily needs and that is very rare.
sometimes this mindset is very influential for a bettor and if he is married and is the head of the household it would be better to reduce his gambling activities and prioritize his relationship with his family rather than spending money on gambling which ends up having a bad relationship with his wife.

I also don't think Manchester City can be again Champions of the Premier League this season however it is way to early to be saying that.In order to have a better view if they can win this season too we have to see their behavior and game play in the upcoming games,now there is International break which can be beneficial to teams like Manchester City that have 2 consecutive lost games in a row and they need to reflect on it and improve their posture.

The one team which the International break must hurt is Chelsea as they just got 2 victories in a row in the first time during this season and they will be having a break too.
I would prefer to speculate after the transfer window opens again in January and see how much Man City has changed and if after the transfer window opens and from several matches there are no big changes, I dont think Man City will be the leader in the EPL but if after January, there were many changes that occurred in terms of improved performance and being able to provide a fairly large point difference from other teams. I believe that Man City is still worthy of leading the EPL. but for now Man City is still less stable and their consistency is declining after a very good start to the season and declining in the last few matches.

and regarding Chelsea, it seems like they have had a good turnaround, they can get 2 wins, but we have to see how consistent this team is because the worry comes when we look at the next match schedule. Chelsea will have to play Arsenal, who have beaten Man City in the previous match. If Chelsea is able to withstand attacks and can play on par with Arsenal with a draw, I admit Chelsea improvement has begun to increase.

We can't expect to see good performance in Lyon when they have an unstable situation and they don't have a good financial situation to buy the players they want, in fact when you don't have enough money you can't buy the players you need, or the coach who can help you get good results. However, Lyon is a team that usually had the hope of racing at the top of the table and even won the French League before but currently, this team is not in the good form.

finances are always the main factor in improving a team performance and I admit that usually a team that has problems with its finances will definitely experience a decline in performance unless it has a coach who is very reliable and has a lot of experience dealing with problems in teams that have bad finances and we take that examples from other leagues such as Barcelona which has bad results but has experienced coaches and still looks shining.

maybe Lyon can look for this alternative if they really want to get out of the bottom of the standings and at least be in the middle of the standings. but who knows what will happen but I have a bad thought that the possibility of relegation will eliminate Lyon.

Even though Jude Belligham is Real Madrid's top scorer at the moment, in my opinion they need a single striker as a solution to make their front line sharper. Joselu was not an alternative when Real Madrid reached a dead end because his style of play was not as prominent as that of a classy striker. When Real Madrid has a world-class striker like Mbappe, if they succeed in bringing him in, their game will be much more terrifying, like when Benzema, Ronaldo and Bale play together.
yep, thats right. even though currently it looks perfect because of Bellingham, Joselu and Vinicius, at least having special players to become reliable strikers to become scoring machines will strengthen Real Madrid even more like in the past when Madrid glory days were still very strong because of Benzema and Ronaldo. by bringing Mbappe to Madrid, this team can make its performance stronger and of course the glory will be felt again like in the past with a very perfect line up of players to win the title in every competition and well, we can only hope that Mbappe really will came to Real Madrid.

As football is a player's profession, we cannot say it is wrong if he tries to earn money from football. No matter where a player plays, he has to show good football skills and then try to earn money. Seeing that Neymar went to Saudi Arabia, we are wrong to think that he is greedy for money, if his performance was bad, Al Hilal would never have taken him to the team with such a large amount of money. Whether Neymar is in Saudi Arabia or in Europe, he will try his best to help the team win. Not only Neymar but all footballers who play for a club have a responsibility to show maximum performance for the club. As a Neymar fan, that is what I hope for Neymar to perform at his best wherever he is.
very correct answer. you said about the fact that football players also think about money and of course also his career as a football player will continue to try as hard as he has to contribute according to his very large salary. so that the same benefits as european star players who come to Saudi Arabia are given large salary facilities, but these players can make a good contribution. even if currently only Ronaldo, Benzema and Mane look very shining, Neymar will also soon appear to match the performance of european star players other.

btw, the upcoming match Al Nassr seems to get another chance to add to its points for the home match against Damac FC. has anyone predicted this upcoming match? but still Al Nassr is the bookies favorite.

Bayern Munich VS SC Freiburg - GOAL 3 - 0 - WIN/ Correct Score 3 - 1 - LOST

For sure I won the Moneyline for this game it was a dominant game for Bayern Munich, but lost the Correct score bet it was a pretty close prediction for me if only Freiburg could get 1 goal which I thought they would I could surely win all of my bet,
ah, you almost won, getting very high odds, but unfortunately Freiburg failed to score 1 score and even had difficulty breaking through the Bayer munich goal and we can see from Freiburg ball possession that it was almost very small and Munich continuously put pressure on Freiburg defense even to make comeback very difficult and unable to keep up with Munich playing style.

on one hand, Bayern Munich performance was very satisfying, his breakthrough passes were always precise even though he failed several times and even though Kane failed to score, he provided 1 assist very perfectly. I was very impressed with Munich performance yesterday match, looking very aggressive to get additional points to catch up with Leverkusen and I congratulate on your win, mate.
