Many gamblers you see today, started from their childhood to gamble, some games we played then, we thought it to be for fun without even knowing we were actually gambling. But when we started growing up to a certain age, then we realized our selves and either made it official or sneak to gamble. And at some point we even made stupid decision all in the name of making extra money for ourselves. But the most important thing is how you handle that behavior. gambling from childhood is either you become irresponsible gambler or you be a professional by knowing when to quit.

Indeed majority of gamblers started having their gambling experience from childhood, at first they might not even know what they are doing because all they could think of at that time was to catch fun and play their normal games. unknown to them that they are learning the basics of gambling. The experience most of us had as children in gambling is what built us up to where we are today, I personally learnt a lot from those experiences and I believe those lead to the perspective I have about gambling.

Greed will not give us a good impact but it will getting worst once we are actually going to let our greed take over us. But anyways if we put our all in bet then our luck is in our side then one thing for sure we will win a good amount of money. But If we don't have our luck in our side then one thing for sure we will not win but our last money the casino will took that. So we must not be greedy and we must not put our bet in all in so that we won't loss on the spot.
Before ever you would go down that road, you yourself will be well aware of the risks that is involved in it because if you are uncertain then don't just do it. Sometimes the reason why many people even make the all in bet decision is probably because they are tired and frustrated and just want to end it all knowing fully well that if it works out for him then he will be happy and if it doesn't he himself will still bear the risk because gambling is always too sided affair.

Chelsea's major problem is their defense. If they can fix it, they will be formidable.
I don't know why, in almost all the Chelsea matches, they find it hard to hold on to a goal or two goal victory against a club they are meeting without having those clubs equalize them or even win them.
Palmer has been an extraordinary player since he came to Chelsea, at least the 6-year contract given to him wasn't in vain


Yeah I think this defense problem will be Chelsea's main focus in the upcoming transfer market if they can fix it then I'm sure Chelsea can compete with other elite teams, currently we can see from 29 matches Chelsea scored 53 goals and conceded 50 goals this means that there is a problem in the defense line and must be fixed immediately. Lately Chelsea have begun to improve their performance they avoid defeat in the last 6 matches including in the match against Manchester United yesterday, I have to say it's one of Chelsea's best games this season extraordinary comeback.
An extraordinary comeback that I  didn't believe Chelsea would turn around the score line to go in their favor after a 3-2 defeat against them in the 90 minutes of stoppage time. Within a space of 11 minutes of added time, Chelsea scored two wonderful goals which had many people wowed to the two goals that happened between two minutes.
Chelsea is still in its building process with Pochettino, by next season the focus will be on the defense line, having an additional three defenses will be a boost to the team's defense so that when  Chelsea is leading in a given, their opponent wouldn't equalize so easily
I think this will probably go down as the season most beautiful and wonderful comeback, that's if there is any award or record like that but no jokes about the magic that the moment presented in the football world. People were actually mesmerized of how fast the  whole thing happen because I believe even Chelsea fans themselves have lost faith that they was any hope to salvage even a draw from the game.

Well I would like to disagree on this because Real Madrid are also a very good and fast attacking side and they can really do the damage to Manchester city if the atmosphere calls for it and besides Manchester city are not as that potent as they were as of last season but real on the other hand is lightning hot and I just hope that vinicous actually starts that match so as to keep the flow of things.
It's  fine to disagree, besides I made mention of their fast game  they seem to be pretty good with it but Pep learned a lot in his first  defeat against  Real Madrid in Champions league 2022 , he would have noticed that  real madrid has a tactic of playing offside along with fast attack  and the only way to counter this is by possessing the ball ( Mancity  is pretty good with possession), besides this was the way they defeated  them last season.  Although  this year they now have a new finisher and some good mield fields probably  things would have changed a little , so I see them winning only by luck From my side
Hmm, with your statement, you are making it sound as if the game was one sided , I mean it's the match between two good teams and their is always room for improvement from the both sides because the two parties are teams that would never want to be defeated at this stage.

Like you said Manchester city are a very good possession player but am pretty certain Madrid must have watched their style and would keep everything professional between the two pair.

when it's not yet your turn, don't be tempted to think people ahead of you are using juju to succeed. it's their turn. keep on clapping for them and do not envy them. your turn will definitely come if you remain consistent and never give up.

your dream is to succeed and it's why you are fighting and struggling to succeed. that's why you are swallowing in pains and making personal sacrifices for success. But do you know that there are friends and relatives whose dreams and prayers in life is for you to fail.

And the moment you fail, they have succeeded. they will be so happy because they have achieved their lifetime ambition. so, don't give up. keep on keeping on . shame and prove them wrong by succeeding. and don't give them joy by failing.

Abi. will you allow them, smile at your down fail one day.

Anybody wey mumu give up and him lose because there is a reason why them call am life journey, everyone has their own time so the best you go fit do na to just dey follow up codedly your matter and no send your anybody face because if you say you wan follow people progress take like that be successful for the life my brother e go bad well well for you because some person source of wealth ND success e no dey ordinary and some person dey move to any miles for am.

Chelsea is one of the worst clubs and have not show any signs of seriousness,  I have ever seen, and ever then, I have laughed at how they were able to equalize you without any stress or lead by two zero. The game will end 3–2 am sure, and Chelsea supporters should start tactfully departing the stadium. A. Garnacho has added another goal. The ironic thing is that, despite Chelsea surrendering 14 goals in six games, their coach does not seem concerned. It's not my fault, coach; those boys have lost all credibility. And Manchester United is making every effort to hold onto their top 4 ranking. People are blaming the coach what do you expect him do on the pitch and play or pick up cane to flogg is players. Chelsea is only manifesting there faith.
Well I guess you could say never say never or probably say the match isn't actually over till the final whistle is blown. What am interesting game tonight because from the looks of things at first , it turn out that Chelsea are going to win by a land slide and then  Manchester united came back and secured an equalizer and even score another making them lead but when the final whistle Chelsea came out Victorious.
267  Other / Off-topic / Re: Gambling addiction is not about the money you could win; it's about the "win" it on: April 03, 2024, 11:27:52 PM
When I started gambling my mindset is solely about winning some cash to better my life but the more I gamble, the more that idea shifts. The money no longer satisfies my initial goal but the idea of winning does.

But even with those ideals in play, why would a millionaire start gambling in the first place?  

so why would a rich athlete or politician become so addictive to gambling?

I think socialization+joy+drinking+gambling is satisfaction to them. What do you think?

You're spot on, it's not just about the money, but the thrill of winning that keeps people hooked on gambling. It makes sense that even those who already have plenty, like millionaires or athletes, get caught up in it. It's more about the excitement and the social buzz around gambling than anything else.
Sometimes it isn't even about the winning, it's about the that feeling of wanting to win and the believe that on every next try there is a possibility that one could actually win so that's just the case with gambling there is the believe that if I go or play again I might win and this is basically the error that leads to someone being addicted. Then when you eventually get the win one or two times you come so totally tied up to the feeling and it never stops at all.

Arsenal lived up to expectation and won with a convincing 2:0 scoreline against Luton Town. The match was really vital to Arsenal as they needed a win for them to flip at the top of the table. They also needed to win to extend their lead against Manchester City, pending their result against Aston Villa whom they play later tonight. Liverpool will be playing tomorrow and with this Arsenal win, Liverpool will have to work harder tomorrow, knowing fully well that any mistake will be costly to them. I'm also expecting Manchester City to win their game tonight so they will close the gap between them and Liverpool.
Let's just say no one can predict the winner this season cause from my view this competition will be so tough to some certain extend. Manchester city don't want to back off also as we all watched their performance today likewise Arsenal. I actually love the Arsenal defending team and seeing an improvement always. Liverpool will play against Sheffield United and I'm expecting a win but one thing I observed about Liverpool each time they try to play with full force they end up with a draw. Liverpool should bring their A game without pressurizing everything like must win game, I guess this is common not just with Liverpool but other teams. Liverpool should do everything in their power to defeat Sheffield United in order to maintain their position.

The competition is tough but I know for sure that there will certainly be a slip up from either of these teams because after now the other competition that they are currently on will starts getting to them and not all of these teams can cope with the pressure. Manchester city are used to it and maybe Liverpool can also adjust but the gunners are not that strong when it comes to keeping their cool although this season performance is way better than that of last season.

~~~
Bayern Munich is not successful in the league. They fell behind Bayer Leverkusen. They no longer have a chance to catch them. The only target for Bayern Munich was the Champions League. Now Thomas Tuchel can focus on winning the Champions League. Maybe Bayern Munich can win this cup again, with a little luck. Of course, for this to happen, it must first surpass Arsenal. Thomas Tuchel had the opportunity to get to know Arsenal closely while he was at Chelsea. He knows their style of play. I'm sure he will make any plan to surpass them.
This season Bayern Munich must recognize Leverkusen greatness under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, as a result of Leverkusen's prowess making Bayern Munich lose the opportunity to maintain its dominance in the Bundesliga. Being 13 points behind Leverkusen means Bayern Munich is starting to give up on the Bundesliga title race, now the only realistic trophy that Bayern Munich can possibly win is the Champions League.
It is difficult for Bayern Munich to beat Arsenal who are at the peak of their performance, in their last match Arsenal performed extraordinary at the Etihad stadium when they held Manchester City to a draw.
This season, Bayern Leverkusen's dominance is now evident. They're leading by 13 points over their closest rival, Bayern Munich. Credit goes to Xabi Alonso for his leadership, making decisive moves for the team so far. We might see a new Bundesliga champion soon. Bayern Munich seems unlikely to win any trophies this season, especially i'm having doubts about their ability to beat Arsenal in the Champions League. If they can't beat Arsenal, they probably don't deserve any title this season unlikely.
The one thing am even after is the record is setting sail to break which a unbeaten run in an entire football season in all competition which is quite impressive don't you think? Bayern Leverkusen have really surprised the whole football world and if they continue like this then I know for sure that Alonso might for sure b the winning of the best coach of the season award for the whole of the euro at large because for now , I don't think there is anyone who has achieve such great heights as he has done.

It is not bad we discuss am here. Lolz  Grin🤣 opportunity comes but once. Even you pursue them know at least they have spent the climax time when the prices were on the roof with you. Op this na very simple matter and all what u need to do be say in the morning devotion, when everyone gathered in the morning you go just politely asked them when dem dey go back. And once dem tell you di date then what you ah e to do is to look for their transport fair. For like two days for them to leave gibe them di transport fair money and see what will happen in the di day.

Those are some of the method to pursue a visitor who refused to go back to their houses after the event ceremony. As for me dat na di method I normally use to let them go.
Omo with all this experience I dey feel say you na baba to pursue visitors wey don outstay their welcome oo😁😁. But watin you talk dey on point well because it's annoying to be wanting people to know that their time has reached but yet they know and still decides to push you to the edge knowing fully well that you won't do that because of your considerate nature.

Hi,

There are always things that we are passionate about doing, such as video games, football, basketball, and sports in general, meaning that everyone has something that excites them and makes them want to do.
Like others, I get very excited when I sit down, take my phone, and start my bets. This does not mean that I am addicted, but rather I find it more comfortable and I have more fun.

Does gambling excites you? What motivates you, winning or just the fun in it ?
Gambling can be both exciting and sometimes really frustrated especially when the fun you came for isn't just paying off. We all agree that gambling should something that is enjoyed for the purpose of getting entertained but sometimes we tend to put much hope in maybe actually squeezing out some profits through it and we tend to get hurt almost all the time and that's why the feeling is different and based on the results of the gambling session.
272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 02, 2024, 09:47:58 PM
West Ham's match against Tottenham was very tough and ended in a draw with a score of 1-1 and the goals were scored by Brennan Johnson in the 5th minute and Kurt Zouma in the 19th minute. And even though Tottenham played at home to West Ham, they dominated the match overall.
And currently Tottenham is in 5th place with 58 points, which in my opinion is impossible for Manchester United to catch up with those who are in 6th place with a difference of 48 points. And Tottenham still has the chance to be in 4th place in the standings, only 2 points away from Aston Villa to win a UCL ticket.
The game gave a beautiful win this night and you won't even believe the option I play and the insane amount of odd given too. I played the game an under 3.5 goals and the bookmakers set the odd at around 2.10 odd which was as a surprise although I know that the two teams are goal scoring teams but the difference here is that they are all in a tight corner and wouldn't want to concede more so that was the reason I played the game with 10$ flat and it gave a sweet extra 10$ profit.
273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Going all in and losing the bet on: April 02, 2024, 09:43:20 PM
I was just playing Hi-Lo, making small dollar bets, if it's 5 number card I select higher card and win, if it's 10 number then I go with 'low' and win.

Then I was greeted with Ace card, minimal possibility for equal card right (i.e, Ace), so I go all in, and guess what happens, the result is Ace means I lost the bet.

Then I have all sorts of thoughts blaming casino, like do they manipulate the result of the game when user goes all in. I am sure they are all fair, it's just that the possibility of losing the game may be minimal but it's never 0.
I can feel you with that , and this is the same reason why I stopped Playing Hi-lo because of this experience and for me this seems to be  a tricky bet from the provider and to take our money, looks like it is not about the Luck but about the game settings that will not le us win , though like you said they are all fair but sometimes we are truly doubting that reality.
Sometimes I feel all this casino games are actually cheat and they never want you win and that's why am only good with roulette atleast with it you can actually presume the sequence at which the colour or odd or even number that can be displayed but as for others I don't even want to there talk more of involving myself in it. There are casino games that will frustrate you to the fullest especially if you keep chasing after them to get a win.
274  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The power of HODLing BTC on: March 30, 2024, 05:39:51 PM
That looks unbelievable for a person who really has the guts to to hold and keep holding for many years without touching any from it even during the ATH. I'd feel the real trust there and he strongly believes that the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise which makes that person hold and have no intention of selling for now.
Or possibly that he didn't care at all all of this time but he's aware of his holdings.

Usually, a person like this have got other source of income and have got a busy world on how they're going to spend their wealth.

Now, another good problem came out on how he's going to spend it again.  Cheesy

Mad respect to the guy for holding this long.
True, a lot of people will relate. This person can be like cleaning then he/she finds some treasure Cheesy
These days, it's now impossible to hold this very long if you know you have Bitcoins and can use them since 2010, a lot of roller coaster rides happened in Bitcoin that will shake emotions of people.
Exactly.

Probably this guy just found his old harddrive and remembered that he's got Bitcoins from the old days and luckily, he found it.

But anyway, if it's the opposite and he's got firmly holding it for all of these years, that's why true respect for his patience.

For me such holding ability can even be termed impossible because it's just unbelievable to imagine the patience that a particular human will have to keep his money knowing fully well the profits that he or she might have gotten from the first and second ATH but yet he held on. Well that's just the beauty of human as you can never know the full potential of anyone's ability till push to the limit.

Many people are going through gambling addiction but they manage to keep it a secret from their families and loved ones. The only people that know about their gambling activities are their close friends. In the event that you are one of those close friend to a gambling addict, do you think it is right to tell their loved ones with the intention that they will be able to talk to him and help him overcome his addiction? Can the advice of loved ones even help? What is the most effective way of going about gambling addiction.
The effect of gambling affects almost everyone that around the person so it's okay to say that family members of an addicted person will definitely look for a way to find out things that will aid the gamblers especially if they care for the person and in the case of the person being seriously affected there would be no way he or she can hide his addiction because I know very well it will reach to a stage when he will start borrow or selling properties of people around them.

I actually suspect that I_Anime does not even have that good of finances in place,   ..  but I don't know, yet these would be the kinds of considerations that a newer guy into bitcoin would have to attempt to take into account and try to plan around so that he can control the amount that he sells or does not sell and to consider if there might be some price points in which it does not make sense for him to continue to DCA.. and either just to hold those funds or maybe put them into other assets.. which are all trade offs, in which some guys will just continue to accumulate BTC for more than a whole cycle before getting into any ideas of selling any BTC or even discontinuing their DCA... but part of the problem is reality.. and the reality may well be that the job of any newbie is not really paying very high wages as compared to the appreciation of their BTC (at least the appreciation that may not end up being sustainable)

While most people now make money for a living, there are few people who can earn some extra income beyond a job or fixed income. What you suggest is certainly valid, but most people by now think that cash is the only thing that matters to them. That's basically why they convert from all other currencies or from bitcoins to cash. Because of this they cannot implement any kind of plan, because the cash withdrawals are spent on life or livelihood.
For most this is the job, you work for your living but it may not be enough.And anything other than sufficient income is out of the question.In this case, small income people can move towards DCA strategies but on a small scale.Start with a small portion of your weekly or monthly income, such as $100. And if you start, you can save it without any hindrance in addition to household expenses. If you can keep DCAing for at least a year then you are successful.This is how people's success stories begin. And bitcoin DCAing a deposit is going to be great for you in future.
If you want to be successful, you must be willing to sacrifice and also manage yourself despite the odds against it especially when it comes to Bitcoin investment. They are people who earn very big but they still find it very hard to actually save up or plan through an investment with Bitcoin and this is because of the lack of discipline while they are other's who don't even earn up to that amount but yet still found a way to make good use of it and this is why I told a friend of mine that making it through an investment is not solely based on the amount of money you earn but also on how discipline and responsible you are to follow through with your particular method.

Why will I want to bet a game with 1k just to later cash out 1,641, it's like saying I made a profit of 641. Who does that! I am that gambler that don't fancy cash out that much which why before I place my bet I have before then made up my mind that there's no room for cash out be it  live match prediction or prematch.


He is a scared and curious gambler, and that's the reason why he choose to cash out, just so that he doesn't get to lose the initial money he used and I feel it was curiosity that made him try out the option of game he played. I often do that with different game pattern but what I like most is draw because the option yield good returns with just a few games in selection.

Today, the league is back after a break and we have 7 different matches today. Newcastle vs West Ham already yielded results with 4-3 in favor of Newcastle. west ham was leading the game by two goals from the start of the 2nd half till the 77th minute. Newcastle scored 3 goals in 13 minutes to win over West Ham in 90 minutes game.
Of the running games, a interesting development is being seen on the match between Tottenham and Luton. Luton Town scored an early goal in 3rd  minute and are leading till the moment. A win or draw for Luton against Tottenham would make Luton safer from relegation while Tottenham's chance of Europa league may dwindle. Nottm forest is already down 1 goal againts crystal palace and Nottm is the competitor for Luton to not relegate from this league.
All these games are interesting games to watch but the one match am really optimistic to watch is the game on Sunday which is the clash and fight for the trophy between Manchester city and the Gunners, I can't wait to see what unfolds between these two teams that are aiming for the title. Whatever the results turns out to be, I think the benefits of the end will still be Liverpool especially if one of the teams were to lose .

A forum senior member told me he could not do without login to the forum for just a week, he said that he was going to hear a little remorseful voice that communicates to him and he said he is already used to it he also told me without reading it just feels like the end of the world  for him…


Most newbies like me don’t understand what it implies to read to comprehend please with your awareness can you explain it to us???
I guess this thread will be useful to newbies like me and some other members out there as generously.



The thing is that these newbie account you are talking about haven't really made up their mind to actually fixate their mindset on the due process that the forum works with. I think I have encountered so many newbie that feel that they can cheat their way up to getting what to they deserve. If you start the forum with the intention of wanting to know and develop yourself then it would be easy for you to learn and make the reading a part of you.

Even though Burnley did managed to win their last match against Brentford at their home stadium but the victory result does not seems convincing as Brentford are playing the match with only 10 men and Burnley are even struggling to keep Brentford from equalizing the score. Playing against Chelsea at the stadium of Stamford Bridge will not be easy and I think Burnley will suffer a loss at the final whistle.
With this current team of Chelsea, I think everything is possible so I won't be surprised if anything actually happened other than Chelsea winning, if there is one thing I have Learnt about Chelsea this season, I think it would be the fact that they can't be trusted in anyway so I always expect the unexpected when ever Chelsea plays a match so I feel Burnley is welcomed fight or match up for Esther.
