Nice is the only team that is unbeaten this season in 9 matches. and looks like it will continue in 10 matches. because it would not be very good for Nice if they got a draw or even lost to Clermont whose player quality is far below Nice.
this season Nice is doing well. Hopefully, they can consistently maintain their performance. Last season wasn't that good but this season they are competing with PSG and Monaco at the top of the standings.
France League is changing, watching other competitive teams fighting to remain in good spots on Ligue One table is such an amazing action pulled by these teams. Nice is unbeaten, this stats giving them edge over Clermont tonight. I'm definitely going to place wager on Nice to bear Clermont, but observing the odds, I was kind of discouraged it was too small, I'm scouting for a good game with high odds that will double my earnings in the system. However, Hopefully Paris Saint-Germain will bounce back to reclaimed their position as Ligue One giants which they've always been.
Nice is indeed the only club that has not been beaten this season from the 9 matches they have played, and with the opponents they will face this time it looks like they will be able to continue that positive trend. But on the other hand I am quite worried about them, because they are also one of the clubs that have not too good goal productivity. Only being able to create 10 goals from 9 matches in my opinion is a problem. Although they are also the club with the best defense so far, but if they cannot be more productive in scoring goals it will make them difficult in the future. I hope they realize their shortcomings in this regard.

Unlike what we saw in Al Nassr when Ronaldo joined this team, I think Benzema was not a successful transfer for Al Ittihad and he was not performing well at all. In fact, he was mostly injured and even during the time when he was not injured, he needed some time to get in the good form. I think Al Ittihad with Abderrazak Hamdallah could have better performance if were investing in younger players instead of Karim Benzema.
You just cleared every comparison between Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. They're different on all standards. Al Nassr signing Ronaldo was one of the good choice made by the team's board and they've seen the strong evidence and influence of Ronaldo presence in the team. He came and conquered among his opposition, he's 100% ready to deliver his team in crucial periods. Al Ittihad was keen on making the same move, but they didn't settle, rather they signed the wrong player. Al Ittihad made a big mistakes by signing Karim Benzema who's out of shape and is unable to hits good form in his new club.
We can't always expect players who join a club to always perform and that applies to all clubs and all players. It's not just here, even in Europe there are worse buys than Benzema, and in my opinion so far Benzema is still in a reasonable stage and cannot be said to be a bad transfer. We can look at Chelsea, how many players did they bring in and how much money did they spend, but we know how they are now.
If there are successful signings, then there must be unsuccessful signings and it will always go hand in hand in football.

Crystal Palace is not a difficult opponent for the Tottenham team if you look at the performance that the Tottenham team has had this season. Because everyone has also seen how well the Tottenham team has performed so far, it will be very difficult for Crystal Palace to prevent Tottenham from getting a win at Selhurst Park today. Crystal Palace fans will probably see a very bitter reality today at home because their opponents are quite a tough team in the Premier League.
Crystal Palace plays Tottenham Hotspur at Selhurst Park stadium, a tough game for the home team because they're really passing through challenging moments this season. On the records, Crystal Palace have become a weak side in the current EPL campaign, sacking Patrick Vieira because he was incompetent of handling the situation on ground, the Eagles reappointed Roy Hodgson to take over, he's incharged and there are many point out weaknesses in the team. I gives Spurs my credits because they're competitive and will easily thrashed Crystal Palace tonight.
Tottenham come with great motivation to be able to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League standings. It's definitely not going to be an easy game for the hosts, Crystal Palace, as they will be hosting a club that is looking for a win. Without defeat and only feeling 2 draws until week 9 is proof that Tottenham is a difficult club to beat this season. Crystal Palace on the other hand, they repeatedly experienced unsatisfactory results, and even in the last 5 matches they were only able to win 1 victory. Of course Tottenham's readiness and mentality will be better, and also in terms of strength I think we can already judge it.
2664  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 27, 2023, 05:37:32 PM
Due to the background, these games are always difficult to predict and injury factors or overall team readiness do not always matter. Personally, this season I have already suffered several times from the fact that Real won the game with a slight advantage in the score, although great results were expected, so I will probably bet on Real to win with a handicap in this game. I believe that Real Madrid have an advantage and it should finally be realized.
So far I'm still 50:50 because on the other hand Madrid can still handle the game with a composition of young players, just because they are playing at home to Barcelona so for Barcelona the result of this match is quite important and will maximize all means.
~

As a result, in my forecast I settled on a score of 3-1 in favor of Real. It seems to me that Real’s advantage is about the same as it was at the beginning of last season, so why shouldn’t Real win again with the same score as last year. I am, of course, biased because I support Real Madrid, but on the other hand, Barcelona also has a lot of fans and with their bets on their favorite club they distort the real balance of power in this pair.
but we can't compare between now and last season, because things change. Maybe the record of their meetings can be a measure, but that doesn't mean it's a guarantee, especially as I said before, we can't compare what happened last season and what will happen in this match.
Barcelona are at a disadvantage, as they will be without some of their most important players who have been in the starting line-up, something that Real Madrid can take advantage of. Barcelona's advantage now is that they are playing a home game.

You're right bro. I forgot about Lukaku who will face the team that fought with him last season to the Champions League final. Last season Lukaku defended Inter Milan very well. And at that time Inter Milan fans gave positive support to Lukaku. But when it comes to the transfer market everything becomes complicated. Especially after rumors that Lukaku was going to Juventus but then he went to Roma. The point is that Inter Milan fans are definitely not happy with this. And now Lukaku is definitely under quite a lot of pressure. But I'm sure it won't disturb his concentration. And actually things like this will make the match more exciting.
Inter Milan boss, Simeone Inzaghi have alternatives to employ this season if his initial plans doesn’t work out. We have watched Inter Milan games and have seen quite improvement in their performance, having one of the best competent players simply implies they're ready to take on challenging opponents. Inter Milan allowing Romelu Lukaku to leave stadio Giuseppe Meazza was one of the big mistakes made by the team. Lukaku will face them again, this time in AS Roma jersey, he's the attacking striker and available to meet the high expectations upon him.
If Lukaku can make INter Milan suffer in this match, then they will feel regret. On the contrary, Lukaku will want to send a message that they were wrong to let him go to AS Roma, one of which is by giving Inter Milan a defeat in this match.
As clubs that have worked together, Inter Milan should know how to stop the movement of Lukaku and if it works then it is a success for them. And if they fail and instead Lukaku can give his best game, it's like a boomerang that will be felt by Inter Milan.

I remember even during the Qatar World Cup when Argentine won the title and Messi was performing well for his team, Lionel Sebastián Scaloni said he wants to use Messi for the next world cup in 2026, which is a good reason to say there's a high chance for Messi to play in 2026 world cup while this is wrong because like this many younger players will lose a chance to have good performance for their national team.
No, I think this is a challenge for young people so that they can develop even more, so when they hear like that, they have to be more able to show that they are more worthy of being called up and playing in the national team than players who are already old.
Yes, there are negative sides to things like this, but there are also many positive sides too depending on how we respond. Obviously there will always be pros and cons to this, especially when there are many potential young players to regenerate them. But on the other hand if they want to be looked at more deeply by the coach, they also have to show their best abilities.

Haaland 2 goals from him yesterday makes Manchester City can able to beat Young Boys. They have won all the matches in the three matches so far Group G in the UEFA Champions League. Manchester City are top of Group G in the UEFA Champions League. We know they won the Champions League last season that the biggest candidate to win this season.
Group G is no challenge for the Citizens, watching them winning all three games is no big deal for the club because they're aiming for more challenging game this season. Pep Guardiola is among the working instrument that have elevated the team's performance standard stage. The players are forever ready to take on tougher opponents, this time they don't just easily get defeated, rather they're in good shape and enjoy thrashing their oppositions. Erling Haaland have been really helpful for Manchester City glorious path followed by his incredible teammates.
Yes this group is not a difficult group for them to qualify easily, now they have collected 9 points from 3 matches that means they will certainly qualify if they can win 3 points in the next match. This is beneficial for them, because if they are confirmed to qualify until match 4, it means they have plenty of time to rotate players and prepare players to be fitter in the knockout round which will be very decisive later.
They are also very motivated, especially since they are the defending champions and certainly want to defend the title they got last season.
2668  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 27, 2023, 11:22:50 AM
Dortmund are going to play against Frankfurt away next time. Dortmund's odds to win this game is quite high. However I still believe this is a game that they can actually win. Because first of all they have been on a really good run so far. They lost to PSG somewhere among their games but it didn't affect them badly at all.

They are returning from England with 3 points they got in the Champions League as well. Moreover they have been quite dominant against Frankfurt recently considering their winning the last 4 head-to-head games. I think Dortmund will win by one goal gap.
if you predict looking at h2h history, Dortmund will be superior and I will have no doubts in saying that Dortmund will win the match after understanding that Dortmund has started to appear more stable and consistently very high, but I will still bet safely just in case it gets the risk of surprises because in the last few matches, even though they always win, Dortmund is only able to score narrow score and this is very dangerous if it ends in a draw, we lose the bet if we only bet on Dortmund or at least bet on a double chance.

Quite agree with you and it is true if predicted then there is no doubt for me to say that Dortmund will be able to dominate the game by bringing home the full three points. None other than the fact that Dortmund are experiencing a pretty good performance this season, although they are in fourth place in the standings but it doesn't matter because there are still a few steps ahead for them to crawl back up to threaten the team that is at the top of the standings. I admit that Dortmund are indeed in consistent form this time, we can see in the last five matches they are almost unbeaten, and for the next match against Frankfurt I will not hesitate to start betting, because it is very clear that the difference between these two teams is quite far in terms of performance, so yes maybe this will not be a big threat to Dortmund themselves.

Yes, basically in the last few matches Dortmund have not been too aggressive in creating goals for their victory, and maybe this could be one of the doubts to bet completely, and yes the safer one as you said this does not rule out the possibility of risk too, but I am quite confident that Dortmund will not waste this opportunity to get full points, because after all they have to pursue the trophy that failed last season.
2669  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino is a Games of Chance and Entertainment on: October 27, 2023, 10:50:03 AM
OP you are right every gambler should look at gambling platforms as entertainment. People who do not see this gambling platform as entertainment get addicted to this gambling platform very quickly. We who are associated with this gambling platform do not consider this gambling platform as entertainment and therefore use it as a means of earning. I can definitely say that every gambler first takes it as entertainment but later chooses it as a means of earning. However if every gambler accepts gambling platform as entertainment then they can continue their life pretty smoothly otherwise they can destroy their life at any moment from this gambling platform.


This is a good point. I think that this should be a common knowledge for everyone that gambling, and casino are built as a means for entertainment and fun. But sometimes, we cannot avoid perceiving activity as a form of generating money because we literally can earn money from it. However, it is undeniable that almost the whole population of gamblers are leaning towards gambling for them to earn money because they cannot think of other ways on how they were be able to sustain their lives and their family. We cannot tell these people otherwise, because do not their reasons behind it and we cannot judge them easily.

Exactly, the statement that gambling is / is just an activity for fun or looking for fun to fill spare time during work holidays or reduce boredom on your day off should be common knowledge for all gamblers, especially for those beginners who have just come to this gambling. This knowledge will really be very useful for their own safety too, because none other than gambling is very dangerous because there is a huge risk there, so anyone who thinks that gambling is a place to make a living by not applying the self-control that is intended then obviously they will suffer a downturn that I think is unimaginable. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea to keep in mind that there will be people who bring the wrong mindset to gambling, as we discussed above, they come with the intention of making money by taking advantage of the opportunities of gambling itself. We can't avoid it because in reality gambling can really give us money, but the difference is that there is no consistency and there is no guarantee in it, and the victory will be random depending on the luck of each person.

Because from what I have observed, rich people perceive gambling as a form of entertainment, while poor people saw gambling as an opportunity to earn money. So, we can say that there are a lot of factors that might contribute on this kind of mindset and social factors is one of them. Because for me, if people only have their choice, they will not look at gambling as a means of making money just as the rich people.

Of course, the rich only consider this as entertainment, and behind that it is not uncommon for poor people who come to make money because they misinterpret what the real opportunities are in gambling. I'm not going to fully blame the poor here because of course it's true as you said, there are many factors that influence why they carry such a wrong mindset. It is none other than because they are poor people who definitely want to get money in the minimum way possible to increase their finances or even to fulfill their needs. This is a very dangerous mindset. I hope they (poor people) will soon realize, because of course it is very dangerous if they enter the addiction phase.
2670  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: October 27, 2023, 10:21:23 AM
Of course, if a player wins, he will continue to play, because few people are ready to stop after winning, but it is important to stop on the day you win, rest is also needed. And in case of a big win, you should withdraw your profit and leave a game deposit, this way you can definitely save what you won and continue playing from the level where you were. Withdrawal of profit is a very important point and not only in gambling.
When a player wins and continues playing, he must be prepared for losses that can come to him at any time because in gambling, it can come after they win. They should rest first while calming their minds and withdrawing their wins, as you said so they can enjoy their winnings. And they can also save a little money to prepare for gambling another day after resting. Withdrawing winnings that have reached the withdrawal limit is something the winner must do to celebrate their winning moment with their family and friends.

That's right, they should be prepared for surprises in the future, as we know if you or they bring the role of greed in any field then it will usually always end up with unexpected things and you will regret it. Right buddy, usually greed will come when they have managed to get a victory, instead of stopping and enjoying the victory but they continue to play and say "I'm sure I will be able to win much bigger", they assume that it is the right time for them to act aggressively, haha lol even though they do not realize that they have entered the gambling trap, which means that the final result will usually not be as expected.

Well that's the best they can do, I agree with you, this is gambling which means everything is luck and always unpredictable about the final result. Therefore, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible and go to enjoy the victory, do not ignore any temptation that looks tempting because it is very likely that it is just a trap. Allocating a little money to enjoy the winnings with friends over a glass of beer and a box of pizza and leaving a little to gamble on tomorrow, that's better and that's the real victory. Wink
2671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: October 27, 2023, 09:49:24 AM
~snip~
Yes indeed this is quite realistic and I agree that if you want to have a successful career in gambling it is very difficult, especially if you are just a pure gambler who only expects mercy from the casino for a win, it is almost impossible, and even if it is possible at most only occasionally with dozens of attempts. And also on the other hand I don't believe and don't believe if there are people who are able to succeed in gambling, I don't really understand what is meant by real success in gambling, there is no peak point that they can reach, and the fact that more often than not you will only suffer a lot of losses, nothing more than that.

Gambling is all about luck and for anyone who is serious about chasing something especially winning then I'm sure the end result will be the opposite and I'd say it's worse than you thought. Well agreed, we must really realize that this is just an activity for entertainment only and in no way can be made a place to make money or even a career with the aim of success, it doesn't make sense to me. So I hope you or they can quickly correct the wrong mindset and perspective, think more clearly and also make sense. If you are serious about building a career then allocate your passion to something that is more certain and guaranteed, that's all.
Perhaps we don't believe in gamblers who are successful in gambling because we have never met people who are truly successful in gambling. I think some people can achieve success in gambling, but these people are not easy to assemble because they don't want to say that they are successful from gambling. They will hide their success from gambling from people, and only a few people know that they have been able to achieve that success. And that is a difficult thing to achieve in gambling, so it is very rare for people to achieve that success.

Well maybe so and also yes everyone may have a different view on this gambling, but for myself honestly I really don't understand and don't believe if there really is a successful gambler. I would ask, did they really become rich as a result of gambling purely? What gambling or based on what they do? Sports-based gambling yes I understand skills can really help you to increase the chances of winning but in the end it still still refers to luck and will not always be lucky too, meaning defeat will definitely be there. And maybe I will believe that success is not in the sense of being comprehensive but "success in winning gambling on one occasion", and the rest of the time defeat will dominate. And besides that I would say that anyone can be successful with real evidence if they are "the bookie themselves, or own the casino", that's all. Perhaps your assumption is correct, meaning that there may be some gamblers who manage to become successful and they hide their success because they may be a little ashamed of their achievements that turned out to be only from gambling.


We won't know how people who are successful in gambling do it because perhaps they won't tell us and don't want us to try to become successful gamblers. Perhaps there are many ways or lessons that we have to learn, but they don't tell us about them. But I think there is a lot to learn to be a successful gambler because it is a long journey. And that is why not many people or gamblers can reach that stage because they cannot go through the processes. We can only learn self-control and other things that we consider necessary so as not to experience things that can harm us or not become addicted to gambling.

Honestly on the other hand I just heard that there are people who can succeed in something that is based on luck. For myself I don't have any goals in gambling let alone a successful career, because I know it's not the right place for a long process and also maybe it will only create a lot of financial problems in my life,, and yes maybe I will gamble with the aim and intention of seeking entertainment only, it will not be more than that. And maybe out there like you said there are some people who are struggling to become successful in gambling, I don't mind it because it's everyone's right as long as they are truly responsible for everything that will happen to them later. On the other hand, if I want to be successful and rich in gambling then I will not become a gambler but will open my own casino and gain a lot of profit from people who lose. Regarding control and some other limits are indeed very important in gambling, that's what you should always apply so that you don't overdo it and don't end up with addiction, that's right.
2672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ? on: October 27, 2023, 09:16:52 AM
Well everything will come back to the caution and vigilance they have prepared and of course it will be very useful if they are firm in applying it every time they gamble, not tempted by any temptation there and also with a little getting rid of their greed, it would be better so that they end up with a normal feeling without any regret or disappointment due to bad conditions there. Management will be a very necessary thing in terms of balancing in any condition, including when we are married and have a big responsibility to provide for our children and wife, of course all expenses must be really considered and not let us buy something that is not necessary, because obviously in such conditions there will be many other more important needs. Therefore it is very appropriate to say that if you are a gambler then as much as possible you should try to get out of the zone, not gambling if it does not require a capital budget while on the other hand you have other interests, namely a family that must be prioritized, then yes it is better to change our mindset in gambling by slightly reducing or still considering that this is just an activity for entertainment only so that you will not overdo it in gambling.
They must be able to eliminate their greed from within themselves, which means suppressing that feeling of greed so that it doesn't get bigger so that they won't lose a lot of money while gambling. But whatever it is, they better think about supporting their children and wives in other ways and not through gambling because they won't always be able to bring money home. But if they can try other ways, they can make money for their children and wives, which is better than using gambling. Financial management for the family must be a priority in their lives after they get married because they will be together all their lives and spend their time together. And if they use their money to gamble where they can lose money, it will disrupt their financial position and later, they will find it difficult to support their families.

It should be like that, but to be able to eliminate 90% of greed requires very strong assertiveness, while in gambling almost everything there is filled with temptation, so it is indeed a pretty tough task to do. Therefore, I honestly don't really believe that there are some people who are already addicted who will be able to eliminate their greed by applying very strict self-control, some of them succeed too but usually they fail. But on the other hand it's the only way to prevent bigger negative impacts from happening. In my opinion, only stupid and lazy people work who are determined to support their children and wives from gambling, of course it will never work because they only rely on luck there, so maybe the term if they are unlucky in gambling then they will not be able to eat at home haha. While on the other hand luck will only come once in a while from many trials, just try to imagine. So indeed back again buddy, nothing is better unless you stop doing this harmful activity, remember you have a family which means you already have a lot of responsibilities, so instead of being busy with gambling you better think about how to stop. Consider a lot of advice from other people and it's better to find another job that is more reasonable and promising.

Read the latest news and neuer will be coming back as soon as possible. There's no doubt to see him back again as a starting line up. The current goal keeper was so bad but we shall not feel worry as neuer is fully ready to protect bayern's goal net again.
Having neuer will be also strentgthening the defensive line of bayern. neuer has been known as a goalkeeper with a bunch of experiences. He had been playing with bayern even since the match between bayern vs chelsea.

We will not feel worry again when neuer has become the main goal keeper of bayern. he was as good as some old goal keeper like casiles or even cech. There's no need to feel worry and i think bayernw ill be conceded less goal after neuer will be taking over the spot to become bayern's goal keeper. Let's see how good his comeback after he was not playing for so many months.
I have no doubt at all that Neuer is the best goalkeeper ever, but then again usually when a player comes back from a long injury he needs time to adapt again to get his game back. I don't know what will happen to Neuer after he returns, and I hope he can quickly find his form just like before he was injured.
I'd say it's a risk if he comes back, because there are many goalkeepers who decline after an injury and have to take a long break.
His association with Bayern Munich has been very long, and that will help him to find his form again because the chemistry I'm sure will not be lost, it just takes a little adjustment.

AC Milan is the only club yet to taste victory in this group, and yes Paris Siant Germain can win the match with a pretty big score, it is a good signal that they show.
After being able to occupy the top of the standings, now finally Newcastle must also drop to 3rd place after Borussia Dortmund can beat them with a thin score. And yes it is a very tight competition in this group, as we predicted earlier that this group is the strongest group in the Champions League this season. AC Milan itself still has hope with 3 matches that they will still do.
Newcastle are very unlucky to be in this group... I'd probably say it's the group of death... But Borussia and Newcastle still have a good chance to be in second place... But Milan have to show their best football to try to get out of the group... But I'm more interested in how Newcastle will play...
Yes, they are unlucky, but on the other hand it is beneficial for them if Newcastle manages to escape from the group stage, because it must be said that by joining this group, they are like a mental test before they are in the knock out phase. They are new to the Champions League, and by being in this group it gives an idea that in the matches they will face next they will get more pressure than what they got in this group phase.
Yeah like I said it's good for their mentality, and if they make it it's great.

With his incredible ambition, it's not impossible to see Ronaldo back in the next World Cup, even though he's already 41. If you look at it now, I think he still deserves to be part of the Portugal squad, the only problem is that the next World Cup is still a long time away and I don't know for sure whether he will experience a significant decline or not. Decreasing speed is a given, but if he can maintain his fitness until the 2026 World Cup then it's not impossible that he'll be part of the Portugal squad that goes to the World Cup.

The impact of ageing can't be prevented. But the big question is whether that will prevent him from getting selected to the playing XI. In case he is not up to the mark, then it can create a lot of complicated scenarios. For almost two decades, Ronaldo has been like an one man army for the Portuguese team. So if he wants to participate in the 2026 tournament, can the coach deny his ambition even if he is not in good shape? But then another question will arise. If Ronaldo is not in good form, then can the coach overlook the younger players in his favor?
Yes, age doesn't lie, although he still plays well, he is not as good as when he was in his golden years.
It can be said that he is a player who plays a vital role in the Portugal squad, one of which is that he is a player who can provide motivation for young players. But will they dare to take the risk to keep Ronaldo? To be honest, Potugal is now one of the countries that is experiencing good development. It will be a complicated situation, I agree with that. The coach must be able to be wise in considering this, which he thinks is more beneficial.
2676  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you manage your finances and family if your income is low range? on: October 26, 2023, 03:42:05 PM
The issue is prevalent and requires coordination with wives. It is acceptable for monthly income data to be disclosed honestly, as it helps wives understand and manage it. However, additional efforts may be needed to address shortcomings. Being truthful allows family heads to communicate the actual circumstances, as the only group they aim to help is their own family, not others. This approach is preferable as it allows for better communication and understanding.
Prioritizing an honest and open attitude towards family is very necessary in a household and in managing family finances. Especially to our wives. Because after all, we and our wives must fight together in everything and we must always solve all problems together. Including financial problems. So of course our wives must also know how money flows in and out of the family. And he also has to know our sources of income if we want our wife to help us manage our finances. Unless we feel capable of managing family finances ourselves. But I think it's a difficult task. Because sometimes we have to share tasks with our wives in this matter. We focus on making money by working hard and our wife will manage the household including the finances. Because sometimes our wives know more about what needs must be met in the family. Our children's school needs and so on are always better known to our wives.
Sharing tasks with our wife will indeed make it easier for us to complete every responsibility within the family. If we were the only ones to solve family problems, this would be very burdensome for us. If we have mutual understanding between husband and wife, of course our family life will be very beautiful even though we have an income that is only enough for our daily needs and for those who have a lot of money, they will not necessarily be able to have a happy family life because they are always busy with their own activities. so it is very rare to be able to gather with their families. It would be very good if the wife managed all the household needs because they already know what their children and their husband need.

And that's what should happen in every family relationship, whatever happens in the family whether it's pleasure or misery we must be able to live it together because togetherness is what must be prioritized when we already have a family. Families are not as beautiful as we think, as is the fact that happens and indeed some people who are married have also confirmed that there will be tests in the household through several problems that come continuously, so there is the importance of togetherness, as you said by sharing tasks with your wife or husband will make it easier for us to solve various problems, by possibly exchanging solutions or even when finances cannot cover the needs then our wives can also look for part-time jobs. It is indeed less recommended because basically the one who has to provide for the husband but that does not mean it is impossible because only they will feel difficulties if the economy is bad, so maybe it is also a good alternative to increase income, I see that many have also done it.

And if indeed the husband has a good enough job with a large enough yield to provide for his wife and children then as you said the wife's role may be busier in terms of financial management and also home affairs such as preparing everything that is needed by her husband or children in need.

Gambling for me is just an entertainment so there is no reason for me to quit. Quitting  is for those who are addicted to gambling. For now I still has no time for it, maybe next time when time comes I have extra money. From now on I will be gambling responsibly of course.
Well, gambling in old age can be very fun, most especially if the man have a lot of money and is financially comfortable, and he also have good friends too who are financially comfortable too, i can picture several evenings and night they all sit around a table, with drinks and some good meat to eat, then gambling and chanting and just having fun, what other way to enjoy ones retirement if not to do that which one loves and do it with other people who are very happy doing the same thing.

So yeah, for me, i will still gamble even in old age, as long as i am very rich, and have reliable sources of income, and my gambling is mainly for entertainment purposes and not to try to make money, for anxiety kills faster in old age, so it's very risky to try to deal with anxiety from gambling loses in old age.

Everything will feel fun and comfortable if we are in a condition of being able to do anything or for example have financial or financial above average, and if it turns out that the condition of our old age will not be like what is expected now then let alone gambling, for basic needs alone may still be difficult. It will indeed be very fun and hopefully our financial condition in old age will be in accordance with our expectations, namely having good finances and enjoying it by allocating a little money for pleasure whether it's for gambling or other things that can make us happy and feel satisfied.

For myself, I honestly will not target how long I will or should gamble because of course gambling is still a bad activity especially in terms of risk and impact, especially if my financial condition does not allow it in my old age and I might look for other fun activities rather than gambling. Yes I agree, it's true that as we get older our anxiety will also increase, so for me it's better to reduce gambling from now on, I don't target to gamble in old age because if you just want fun then there are many other things that are fun and also certainly not risky.

Just thinking about turning gambling into a full time job is a bit risky.
Those that have taken it as a full time job understands the risk that it bears.

It is in the mind that we have allowed our thoughts to be controlled by wrong views and beliefs. We have immediately put our mind in jeopardy because it is not realistic.
Honestly, it is realistic when someone makes gambling a career and becomes successful on it but the chances for it to happen for an individual is pretty low.

Those that have made a good run on it and still are on it, they see that it's possible for them to make that happen but they need to realize that it's not going to last long.
It is realistic, but we know that it will never be easy to do it and get it because there are many things we have to learn, and only a few people can do it. Those who are not capable and keep trying will only experience bigger losses, and if they still don't realize it, they will experience losses. That's where we have to realize that making gambling a career will not work well, and we should think about looking for other ways that have better opportunities to build a career. They can work in an office with a definite career path, so they only need to focus on their work to get promoted one day.

Yes indeed this is quite realistic and I agree that if you want to have a successful career in gambling it is very difficult, especially if you are just a pure gambler who only expects mercy from the casino for a win, it is almost impossible, and even if it is possible at most only occasionally with dozens of attempts. And also on the other hand I don't believe and don't believe if there are people who are able to succeed in gambling, I don't really understand what is meant by real success in gambling, there is no peak point that they can reach, and the fact that more often than not you will only suffer a lot of losses, nothing more than that.

Gambling is all about luck and for anyone who is serious about chasing something especially winning then I'm sure the end result will be the opposite and I'd say it's worse than you thought. Well agreed, we must really realize that this is just an activity for entertainment only and in no way can be made a place to make money or even a career with the aim of success, it doesn't make sense to me. So I hope you or they can quickly correct the wrong mindset and perspective, think more clearly and also make sense. If you are serious about building a career then allocate your passion to something that is more certain and guaranteed, that's all.

(...)How about you guys, are you having a good fortune on your gambling career? Do you ever think of quitting after you won a jackpot?
Yes, I can mention the level of luck here, and I also want to share this about my personal case: many years ago I also bought the lottery, and fortunately I won twice, But the bonus is not too big because it is based on the ratio of the special prize you bet on the last pair of numbers. With a 100x rate, I only bought $1 each time I won.
I know it's really luck because I know this game quite well since my grandfather often participated, but the level of winning is almost impossible, and indeed that brings a feeling of excitement, at that time. These were times when I didn't have much work to earn income, so it was an important amount of money at that time.
Lucky you. For those people like me who never won on lottery games, let's just be happy for others for their luck. I personally haven't win any lottery games even if it is a small bet, it's just that I have a not so good of a luck on lottery games, that's why I stopped trying participate in lotteries. Winning twice on a luck based game is crazy as majority of people doesn't even experience winning on those in their entire life.

I'm honestly like you, the lottery game is really very confusing and I don't really know how to play there, and also it's very difficult, although yes I understand gambling or the final result is always difficult to predict but for the lottery game itself I think it's much more difficult and besides that there is no sensation that I get, unlike other games that give some sensations whether it's bad or good in every round like maybe slots. Yes, maybe it is true that we have no luck at all in the lottery game so it is very difficult to get a win even with a small amount. I don't know whether luck in the game is very difficult compared to other games or indeed we just haven't got luck in us.

Avoiding and preferring more fun games might be better than continuing to play with a very high level of difficulty in terms of luck there. And also even though for example in the game we still can't get lucky but at least we can get a sensation of pleasure from there.
2680  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ? on: October 26, 2023, 01:51:00 PM
I think there are two assumptions from them or their intentions when they just came to gambling, first maybe it's still reasonable as you said they came just for fun and to fill spare time, and secondly there are also those who deliberately come to look for income from winning, no other than they can assume like that because they have seen some wins from other people or even from their own close friends. But in my opinion, even if they come just for fun, it will not always be able to rule out the possibility that one day they will become addicted, maybe you also know that gambling really involves a great sensation when winning and that means that if they are too serious in responding to that pleasure then they want to keep playing and over time it is very likely that they will enter into addiction without realizing it, and also may not care too much about the money they spend as long as they can feel that kind of pleasure again, and eventually they will enter into a cycle of addiction that usually does not accept defeat and continues to seek victory.

But well that's just a possibility that is worried about, if indeed they can keep their limits well then maybe it will not enter the addiction stage, depending on the person too. Basically, the impact of gambling is great so it's better to reduce it from now on, it's better friends.
If they can be alert or control themselves while gambling, it will not negatively influence them, especially for newly married couples because they are committed to always being careful with their spending. Someone who gambles just for fun will always try to use gambling as entertainment and will not try to chase winnings because they know they are using money that will be used for their family. They will try to limit themselves in gambling so that nothing bad will happen after they finish gambling. They will not allow themselves to become addicted to gambling because they can take good care of themselves with these restrictions.

Well everything will come back to the caution and vigilance they have prepared and of course it will be very useful if they are firm in applying it every time they gamble, not tempted by any temptation there and also with a little getting rid of their greed, it would be better so that they end up with a normal feeling without any regret or disappointment due to bad conditions there. Management will be a very necessary thing in terms of balancing in any condition, including when we are married and have a big responsibility to provide for our children and wife, of course all expenses must be really considered and not let us buy something that is not necessary, because obviously in such conditions there will be many other more important needs. Therefore it is very appropriate to say that if you are a gambler then as much as possible you should try to get out of the zone, not gambling if it does not require a capital budget while on the other hand you have other interests, namely a family that must be prioritized, then yes it is better to change our mindset in gambling by slightly reducing or still considering that this is just an activity for entertainment only so that you will not overdo it in gambling.

If their partner sees what they are doing is wrong, they will remind their partner that this is starting to be wrong and must stop immediately. And people who only gamble for entertainment will soon realize this so they will start trying to reduce their gambling activities. They will prioritize their family over their desire for pleasure because they know they can get pleasure from other things.

It is true, therefore from both spouses they must be able to establish an agreement and not to hide anything from their gambling to one of the spouses because in the household they will live together and that means they will need each other and exchange solutions to any problems. So it's better to just be honest with each other, especially if it's a financial problem which is very likely the impact of gambling will worsen your finances with your family and you will live in shortages there. Indeed, family is more important than anything, you or they must be able to defeat your sense of ego and greed to remain firm to avoid gambling or just reduce it is okay buddy. It's okay if you want to gamble but it must be with strong self-control so that you stay under control.
