2301  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You At Any Point In Time Blame Who Taught Or Led You To Gambling? on: December 04, 2023, 02:28:43 PM
Even though being a gambler myself, I think it should be avoided at any cost. It's not just about good or bad. People may start gamble as a medium for fun but as times passes, the motives becomes something else. The money the greed the addiction, consumes a gambler destroying everything. Cultural and religious practices are important when it comes to young people. Yes you are correct. It helps gives them to give them a clean direction, a purpose, one that is beneficial to them.
Staying true to the initial intentions that led to your gambling habit is a very important and key factor that most newbie gamblers find difficult especially when you are not stable financially, because you have to attain a level of financial stability to make fun out of gambling but when it turns out you aren't stable enough it influences your approach towards gambling.

Financial stability has a lot to do with how well you approach gambling, if aren't stable enough, you will definitely be gambling to probably raise money for your next project or something else but when you have some level of stability derived from your job you could consider gambling as an entertainment you can afford but otherwise you are definitely going to have a change of motive along the lines because you are not at the level to see it as an entertainment

Ajax suffer this season, it's pretty bad to watch these players having nothing to prove this season. Ajax can still make it up for the top 4 only if they're consistent in upcoming games. They can do it, I know they're capable but they just need a match or events to ginger the players and the coach to emphasize on good records this season. I've never for a second, consider Eredivisie league as a competitive one because mere watching their matches, doesn't prove any form interest actions, rather its boring and full with average teams that can't even stand the pressure form European clubs.
There's great improvement on their side currently, looking at the early part of the season when the season just begun, Ajax was so poor and it was even worse that they were almost consistent with loosing their games repeatedly and it was almost looking like they weren't getting any better soonest because they suffered loss even with a weak team.

Currently they have improved greatly, on paper they used to be and probably are amongst the biggest teams in the eredivisie, last season before the selling off of their players, their performance were one to be reckoned with but after the sales of their players the effects was evident on them by every passing match but they are currently bouncing back regardless and I'm sure they may even finish tops moreover eredivisie isn't so competitive as they are mostly average.
2303  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos after the shutdowns of mixers on: December 04, 2023, 01:51:23 PM
Maybe they respond to comply with new directives coming from administrators and for sure they would do some necessary measure like having a KYC on their platform so that they will not get banned the same with mixers. I also don't think that KYC compliant casino will be the main destination of people especially those criminals since those current running mixers are only banned in this forum and they can still operate outside so provably they continue and those people who always use their service would still use them to wash their dirty coins.

If there changes would happen here after January 1? Maybe we can't see it for now but let see what will happen next year.
KYC is the biggest way out for casinos not to get caught up with the whole money laundry saga. We are aware some casinos do not make mention of KYC at registration and some literally don't ask for it at all but then in other to be accountable about their users and be able to get their self out of involvement in issues such as this, they may need to initiate compulsory KYC policies.

Criminals will definitely not wan to patronize KYC compliant casinos because they will no longer be anonymous with their iligalities, but then aside crypto deposit which can be made anonymous via mixing, other means of deposit could actually be tracked and that's why most criminals would rather fund with cryptocurrency than Fiat or bank transfer, if casino employ policies that restricts funding from anonymous cryptocurrency address I think it's another way out of this too but then it will be bad business for mixers.

It's me, In our country our maximum parents discouraged their children and boy's and girls not to do any kind of side work before complete their study. They think that will create defect on their study. Gambling you know in Bangladesh gambling in illigali and it's highly risk to economy. I started gambling my own and hide this from my family. My parents are not aware with my gambling habit.
Who are we to blame in this your kind of experience, you're gambling without letting your parents know and they were not that sensitive enough to have caught you red handed on the act, your own condition is not gambling at work, it's just probably a misappropriation or something that got you involved into gambling at unaware, but now you've realized the difference and things at stake.
If gambling in your country has been regarded as illegal, it's then unlawful for you to engage in it regardless of how well you were able to bypass the protocol to see your way through to gambling. Your parents not been aware that you are gambling may not be the biggest challenge now but the fact that by your country you are engaged in an illegal activity.

I'm sure you should be having challenge with withdrawal of fund if you turn out lucky some day and win some good money Because at they point KYC may be required of you and it will be made known to the gambling platform they you are violating a rule which may put them at risk. There's so much at stake with this habit of yours so in your best interest it will be better if you quit gambling and get into something else except you still have your way around all that which are at stake regardless.
2305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Using AI for betting predictions on: December 04, 2023, 01:20:47 PM
These limitations in application of artificial intelligence is what makes it difficult to make predictions in  sports betting. Any day is software company is successfully able to develop and artificial intelligence for betting prediction birthday would be the end of sports book and no sports book would want that. It may lead to several Court cases or outright ban of any user found by a sport book trying to use AI to predict a game. It will be similar to AI detectors for writing but this one will be for sports betting.
There are several limitations attached to AI yet to be known by a lot of person's this is because they still trust in past results which have probably built their trust on AI and makes it difficult to at any point fault the predictions that are generated, I'm sure if it comes to the knowledge of these persons of the possible pitfalls of AI they will have a rethink.

A very prominent limitation with AI has to do with update of versions, the version of AI has a lot to do with the results it will produce, if it's yet to be updated with the recent happening, it's very obvious it will be giving out predictions based on old statistics which may turn out in the detriment of the user, as regards bookmakers coming against AI, looking at it from the other side it could be possible they work with this AI companies to reduce the accuracy of predictions if the find out more users engage in the use of AI, but then I doubt of there would be a time AI will get a 95% accuracy with predictions.
2306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever been a gambling addict? on: December 04, 2023, 01:08:08 PM
emotional when they lose gambling because they feel like the casino has taken their money and they need to get it back. If they are unable to control their emotions, they will deposit more money to try to recover their losses. But that will not guarantee that they can actually get their money back because there is a possibility that they will experience even more losses. This is something that must be avoided rather than experience more losses, so it is better for us to stop gambling and rest first to lower our emotions immediately.
Emotions when allowed to take over a greater part of our thinking we some times end up having problems because at they point we lack good logic and rationality enough to think appropriately, so it's good to have some one around or better still take a walk when you are getting too emotional about your stakes or the outcome.

This remedy will help you calm down awhile and regain control over the situation and take rational decisions which may include stop playing at the moment to avoid further losses in the bid to recover that which has been lost because if you continue and it turns out you are so unlucky then definitely the pain will be greater than it was with your initial losses. In essence I'm saying chasing losses is an act of irresponsible gambling and should be avoided at all cost because the aftermath is always not pleasant enough.
2307  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: December 04, 2023, 12:58:08 PM
We came to the conclusion that many people play without knowing why. Probably many people want to be lucky and in the end the player wins enough money to afford to buy a new house for his family or afford expensive medical care to his relatives. These are all very good dreams and of course there is a chance for this thanks to gambling, it’s just extremely small compared to losing, which is sometimes better to stand on the sidelines. Some believe that they won't achieve this dream in their entire life, and are ready to justify themselves with bets, which is irresponsible. Since we want to try to realize our dreams through gambling, we need a tough approach and informed decisions.
I agree with your point but with some sentiments and this bothers on the concern that, gambling firstly has to do with gun and it's most probably luck dependent a whole lot of time, so setting dreams and aspirations upon something that is luck dependent and and almost not realistic can be very risky and may turn out in disappointment.

Since gambling is known to be luck dependent, it will be fair you keep an open mind to your picks and expectations and if you are lucky enough it turns out in your favour then you can use the proceeds wisely to fulfill these dreams you had before you gambled, but depending on gambling for the fulfilment of these dreams will definitely hurt especially if it turns out you don't get lucky at the casino, and some of these dreams, such as the expensive health care are time bound thereby increasing the pressure that comes with achieving them.
2308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: December 04, 2023, 12:41:42 PM
Actually, as a gambler, just feeling that you want to recover what you lost while playing gambling is a characteristic that is not a good sign to continue betting. This is where we should be aware as gamblers.

It's just because of the high desire to catch up with our losers that the amount of money we put into the casino is increasing, which we should stop doing instead. This is the severe pain of a gambler, in fact, that should be overcome by each of us, not only in the field of crypto gambling business.
Chasing losses has turned out to be one of the biggest challenge most gamblers face as they sometimes lack the self control not to proceed with trying to chase their loss, it is mostly caused my trying to keep records of how much you have lost so far Playing at a particular time.

Rather than keeping such records, make a budget and stick to it. That way without stressing you will know how much you have spent gambling without having to start chasing the loss, this is because you have already predetermined your risk and this will help you accept it easily and move on without further investing another money and loosing more than you were supposed to loss if you had stopped early enough.
2309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Money laundering in crypto casino on: December 04, 2023, 12:30:20 PM
We all know the recent issue about the mixer status here in the forum. Crypto casino is also being use for money laundering by some criminals that’s why every casino has AML policy.

I’m just curious what will be the fate of crypto casino once money laundering activity from mixer will jump to casino now that mixer will not be advertised here which means it has less exposure. Is there any possibility that crypto casino will be seized by the government just like what happened to mixers in case they failed to screen the laundering activity?
I feel casinos do have policies against money launders and what it implies is that if it is made known to the casino that a sure is using their platform for such activities, they reserve the right to turn such person in to the authorities of their region of operation and that's why they require KYC at some point.

These casinos knowing that their reputation may be at stake regarding money laundering deals they will definitely keep to their policies and keep culprits out of their platforms to avoid the wrath of the authorities but when it turns out the casino has no policies against such then they obviously may stand a chance to be targets of the authorities, and ofcos the law will always take it's cause if these casinos are at any point found guilty to have supported laundry using their platforms.
2310  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job on: December 04, 2023, 12:17:29 PM
Actually some one can take up a professional in gambling but then it will take a lot than the regular, his mind set have to be very different from the mindset of regular gamblers as this will turn out his edge as a professional, he will not be looking out for instant flipping of his account size.

Firstly since the person is now trying to make a profession out of it, firstly he must employ a strategy if not he may not succeed at it. This strategy will include his discipline, risk management and money management, all these are to keep him in check not to turn out an addict which will definitely jeopardize his career gambling. One strategy I suggest and think works better is that of compounding profits and seeing what you get monthly and not expecting to hit the gold mine at once in a day.

Frankly, Napoli had almost no presence in the second half. It was show time for Inter and they put on a show. The goal scored by Hakan Çalhanoğlu in the first half was truly amazing. It is very enjoyable to watch such goals. Thuram scored his goal and declared the match. Winning 3-0, Inter beat an important opponent on their own field and pushed them out of the race.
I actually felt disappointed at the performance of Napoli in this game, at first in the first half I gave them the benefits of doubt hoping they will get better in cause of the match but it turned out they couldn't even play to their advantage even at home, they struggled although.

Inter Milan is no doubt a very good and informed team this season in the serie A but then Napoli isn't any weak either so such goal margin for a win comes as a surprise because after the first goal by inter Milan I felt it may end in a draw, probably because Napoli will be able to defend well enough not to further concede goals but it turn out they were lax in the second half of the game so much that they further conceded two goals.

in the following week match it will be big match even though Girona can actually be said to be small team but I still have confidence that Barcelona will win against Girona with the existing players Barcelona will be able to win like Atletico Madrid defeated with narrow score and this must be done Barcelona if not Girona wants to be too far behind in points and it looks like Girona will also be tough this time after reaching top of standings and being displaced by Madrid Girona will try hard to hold a draw or win match but for me its too early Girona can beat big teams and in fact they can also be beaten Real madrid that time and this time Barcelona will have a chance to beat Girona.
It's not going to be an easy one but then Barcelona will stand a chance following their recent performance especially with Felix really proving himself recently in most of the matches and staying outstanding with his performance so far is a plus for Barcelona.

But then underestimating Girona may be a mistake if Barcelona take that path, they should be weary of Girona and give out their best, I expect xavi to be able to come up with a tactics that will definitely help them get a win in this game as anything otherwise will definitely tell on their psychology and may possibly affect their subsequent performance but a win will definitely give them such a good morales boost and their confidence will be awakening again.

PSG had an early card yesterday but its really interesting how they were able to still win amidst a man down, but then they were playing from away so the advantage was supposed to be on the side of their opponent together with the card they had already but it turned out their opponent seemed weaker.

PSG were able to maintain a strong frame regard less and was able to put up a performance they earned them a win at the end of the day, they won by two goals and are currently at the top of the table by 33 points staying ahead of Nice by four points. Nice may likely have no further chance to get to the top of the table and I hope PSG will be able to maintain their spot long enough to probably end the season with the league title.
2314  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 04, 2023, 09:45:00 AM
Looking at the statistics of the match, I think it was a match where Borussia Dortmund should be happy with the 1 point they got. They had a very tough match and Bayer Leverkusen wore them out a lot. They are unlucky not to beat because they created a lot of chances. At least they were not defeated, so we have to think like that. Bayern will be the happiest with this loss.
Exactly my taught aswell, Dortmund were lucky they were they had an opportunity to secure a point against Leverkusen yesterday, the match was literally dominated by Leverkusen as they did had a brilliant performance that was deserving of a win but it's turned out a draw.

Dortmund had an early in the first five minutes of the game but then I wasn't borderd because I felt Leverkusen was definitely going to get a comeback, but it took Leverkusen some time to get a goal and by the second half I nursed some fears even though I know Leverkusen was doing better but I expected more from them because they had the home advantage and Dortmund aswell wasn't in their best form.
2315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: December 04, 2023, 09:32:20 AM
You remember correctly. Being second in the UEL means facing the third-place teams from the UCL. That's why first place is much more important in UEL than second place. There are very strong teams from UCL that will join the UEL and the championship chances of these teams are quite high. That's why UEL is getting more exciting at this stage.
Yes very well said, and this is why teams like Liverpool and Leverkusen are making sure to get pass the group stage in the first position so they will aswell not have a difficult time at the round of sixteen giving them an edge at the semi finals and quarter finals respectively.

The Europa league at this point will be getting more interesting and though, personally the fun I'm getting from the europa is more interesting than that which I get from other leagues, the UCL team are really going to prove tough against the teams they will facing in the Europa because they will be hoping to get something out of the Europa since they couldn't make it thorough the UCL so most of the Europa teams may end their journey at that point.

Yes, it's not over for Manchester United, but what is the percentage for Manchester United to beat Bayern Munich to open up a chance of qualifying? I think it's very small even though they can win against Bayern Munich but their fate will still be determined by the result of the Copenhagen vs Galatasaray match, so Manchester United fans have to be realistic and accept if they are eliminated and that would be good so they can focus more on the English Premier League.
I agree with you, if Manchester united eventually win Bayern probably because bayern use theirs rotational payers knowing how risk free this match is to them and it turns in favour of Manchester united, they will still hope Copenhagen draw against Galatasaray.

If either of both Galatasaray or Copenhagen wins then Manchester united have no chance because they will be ahead of Manchester, the only option will be Manchester going to the Europa which I don't think they will still have a chance at with their current form because at the Europa they will be meeting the links of Leverkusen and Liverpool, so basically they should focus on the premier league and making sure to qualify for for UCL next season.

The spurs really got is some surprise package yesterday because it was actually looking like this city boys has got totally control already and are going to win by the end of the match, althrough the first half, the city boys had more chances for goal which they did missed.

But it turned out that by the end of the match the the spurs were able to secure a point from the city boys. I must commend the spurs because they did had an incident that could have possibly caused their morales to be low but the fought back hard regardless and it did turned out the got a fair results, they have successfully maintained this fift position while denying city the opportunity to have gotten to the top even at their home.

The first half of the match between Napoli and inter Milan just ended and inter Milan is leading by one goal, it's been a tough one so far and both teams have been in the a battle to secure three points by the end of the match but it's looking like it will most likely end in a draw.

In the second half I expect to see a better and improved performance by Napoli, a performance good enough to help them secure a goal by the end of the match. Napoli is playing from home so I expect do much more better than they are doing currently as they have the home advantage but then it's true inter Milan isn't a weak team either so I'm not expecting an easy one for Napoli but they can definitely get a draw by the end of the match.

A predictable victory for Real Madrid against Granada, although they were only able to score one goal, it didn't really matter, because one goal allowed them to get three points from this match.
However, with a very significant control of the match, Real Madrid should be able to create more than 2 goals. In this match Granada barely attacked and I think it was a very long match for Granada, because for almost 90 minutes they could only defend. They couldn't create chances, they couldn't even counteratack.
Real Madrid win by two goals and not one, but like you rightly said, they were able to get three points and that what matters the most for them, especially with the fact that it got them to the top of the standings on the table as against their position before the match.

Granada knew they were already at disadvantage playing from away against Los Blanco's, they were more defensive than attacking because they needed to protect theirselves from conceding so much goals because they know if Los Blanco's is given the chance, they will definitely rain goals moreover they were playing with their complete squad, I just hope Madrid will be able to maintain their position at the top of the league table long enough to win the title by the end of the season because they still have the UCL to play aswell.

I wouldn't be surprised if PSG were a few points behind NIce a few weeks ago, but now Nice are four points behind PSG. I even want to say that at the end of the season PSG will get the Ligue 1 trophy with a big difference in points from second place. This is because the PSG squad is very complete and luxurious compared to other teams in Ligue 1, it could be said that the squad is very different. It can be concluded that PSG in Ligue 1 has no competitors in winning the trophy.
PSG has a very complete and yet expensive team in the french side this season but then I still have some doubts in their performance because they have at some point been inconsistent and that has caused some doubts in my mind when compared to the consistency Nice exhibits.

Nice may not appear to have a formidable squad such as that of PSG but they have managed to stay consistent well enough for quite a good period of time and it has earned them the position on the league table this season, I foresee some set back with PSG when mbappe leaves but then it turns out that may most likely happen at the end of the season, regardless of the team depth and strength, I still wouldn't be surprised if they struggle to win the league title by the end of this season, although they happen to be the favourite to win this season.but then PSG still stands out amongst all the other teams in the french side this season.
