Obviously its too late for Chelsea it has to take Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City to be in there worst performance for Chelsea to win the league. What happen about the most is that they are now in sync with each other. There performance is quite impressive these days. Which shows that the coach and the team players are doing a very serious training to untill they recover fully.
In the end we must realize that if we expect Chelsea to become champions it is an impossibility and something like that will never happen so there is no need to expect something uncertain because we must know from the beginning of the season we already realize that Chelsea will not be able to get it especially with the overhaul where there are so many new players and new coaches there.
Chelsea's focus now is not to win but as much as possible they should be able to restore their form that was lost in the Abramovich era and improve their position to be better than last season.
This is a difficult job with new players and coaches where in addition to them having to adapt, they also have to build chemistry from scratch so the discussion of Chelsea and the championship in the EPL will sound ridiculous for now because after all with their current performance expecting them to win is an impossibility especially when discussions like this are done now where we know Chelsea still cannot be consistent with the performance they run in matches this season.

It all depends on yourself but it would be better if it is a sacred thing then don't leave it. As long as you and your partner have no problem with celebrating your wedding anniversary then it is up to you but if in the end this becomes a problem and causes a rift because you decide to be in bitcoin instead of celebrating then I don't think it needs to be forced.
Because after all when talking about sacred things like marriage and celebrations like this then it is a joint decision and you have to involve your partner in decisions like this so as long as it is not a problem if it is not celebrated then indeed your decision is quite good but otherwise in this case if it is a problem then you are doing a risky thing.

Don't be too forceful about something if you are still not able because being in bitcoin is not a compulsion and there is no need to force yourself too considering that in this case there are always priorities that must come first apart from investing. Just do as much as you can don't push yourself too hard.

With Roma drawing the first leg it was still a good thing but when it comes to probabilities I think it remains the same when it comes to who will qualify for the Round of 16.
Indeed, in leg 2 at this time Roma do benefit because they will play home in the match later but it also cannot be a guarantee that they will be able to win easily because after all their opponents are Feyenoord, which of course we certainly know in terms of performance and the strength of the team is still very similar to Roma at this time.

Looking at their h2h in the last few matches they are still quite balanced and Roma's advantage is only playing home for Leg 2.
I think with the current conditions of the two clubs it will still be very difficult to say with great certainty who will qualify in the play offs this time.
What you say is true but home matches sometimes give more hope especially when they play with thousands of fanatical supporters then this can provide tremendous pressure for the away team and it could happen in this match.

Indeed, in terms of current strength, there is actually not too much difference between these two clubs because after all, from the performance on the field and the strength of their teams, they are not too far away, it's just that the home match factor can be a differentiating situation in this case.

Although there is no guarantee if in the end Roma cannot win, but with the ambition possessed by De Rosi at this time I think he will be able to control this match even though his condition is quite complicated because it continues to be glimpsed considering he is someone new in the world of coaching.
Therefore I say their advantage is only based on home matches, besides that there is nothing that Roma can excel at, because in terms of the game and the performance of the two clubs they are still quite equal, there is no difference that can really be made that Roma can win in this match.

But on the other hand, surely Roma will try to get a victory in the match later because after all now De Rosi is being demanded to be a good successor to Mourinho's replacement and qualify for the Europa League Round of 16 phase of course it is a very good thing for them.

But indeed things like this are not easy we know what Feyenoord's game in the first leg was like and I think for the second leg they will definitely play more insistent than before because after all this is a decisive match before they start the round of 16.

With Roma drawing the first leg it was still a good thing but when it comes to probabilities I think it remains the same when it comes to who will qualify for the Round of 16.
Indeed, in leg 2 at this time Roma do benefit because they will play home in the match later but it also cannot be a guarantee that they will be able to win easily because after all their opponents are Feyenoord, which of course we certainly know in terms of performance and the strength of the team is still very similar to Roma at this time.

Looking at their h2h in the last few matches they are still quite balanced and Roma's advantage is only playing home for Leg 2.
I think with the current conditions of the two clubs it will still be very difficult to say with great certainty who will qualify in the play offs this time.
The second leg match provides a greater opportunity for Roma to achieve victory because playing at the Olimpico Stadium, of course the situation will be in their favor, such as fan support and they must be able to take advantage of that to be able to achieve victory. Roma must look at the opportunities they have this season, meaning they only have one chance to win a trophy and that is only the European League, so they have to try as hard as possible in the second leg to win.

Their opponent is indeed a great team but Roma will play at home and that makes them the strongest candidate to win this match. De Rossi must be able to make the fans happy if he succeeds in bringing Roma to beat Feyenoord in the second leg. Previously, Roma also had good capital for this match because Roma managed to win the match with a big score when facing Frosinone.
As i said earlier although it is a thing that is not wrong because playing home will give more strength but in the end such a thing is only a probability that can be obtained if their performance is smooth but it is still uncertain whether in the end De Rosi can or not maintain the consistency they have. Facing club whose level is smaller in domestic competitions they are indeed quite visible differences but on the other hand this is also still not a guarantee that De Rosi is more able to bring Roma to a better direction because however sometimes there are some condition that can cause changes that are very pronounced in terms of increase and decrease in performance.

I have experienced this and indeed the case is also the same where I was asked about my income when trying to increase the bank account that we have because the transfer we made exceeded the limit given and inevitably we have to try to reason as best as possible so that it returns.

Talking about one's own income especially if it's to the bank then actually this is a little difficult but surely in some cases we will definitely be asked the same thing like this. as for how safe or not this is still complicated because indeed on the one hand this is a privacy but on the other hand the bank's policy is like that.
It's actually quite risky too but when the regulations have been set then it's difficult for us even though it's not dangerous in my opinion but the question is quite annoying.
285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 18, 2024, 09:34:42 PM

The goal chances Chelsea lost against Manchester City, if they had utilized those chances, Chelsea would have gone home with the 3 points. It is so pitiful that they miss those golden chances to score more than two goals.
Chelsea put many of us in awe at their performance. Almost everyone's prediction was a win for Manchester City since the match was at Etihad and Manchester had the best form than Chelsea.
Manchester City couldn't believe with their eyes that Chelsea would hold them to a draw and also deny them of the continuation of the top position of the PL table.

I don't know where you saw Chelsea have more opportunities to score, because they were smothered the whole match, they had the ball for very little time and the fact that they drew and almost won this match is a great luck, because Manchester City is capable of much more. Nevertheless, even a draw does not save Chelsea's position, they are still on the verge of the top-10, while for Manchester City this draw is a terrible result
But indeed what @Marykeller said in this case is also true because even though their ball control was poor in the match against Manchester City some time ago but when talking about opportunities and utilization of counterattacks by Chelsea in this match it was actually a very good thing and there were indeed some pretty good opportunities that they managed to get despite their minimal possession because of the difficulty of getting out of the rhythm that Manchester City did in this match.
The defense line, especially for the right side of Manchester City, was easy to penetrate in this match and it led to some good opportunities such as 2 chances from Jackson and 1 from Chilwell, it's just that Jackson's finishing was not very good, making Chelsea keep the spotlight to be able to lock in the victory.

Jackson's 2 chances could not be utilized properly even though he was face to face with Ederson but Jackson was unable to convert it into a goal actually I think it's quite unfortunate.

Roma has high chances to qualify as they got a draw away and that is precious in such a competition,the chances are on Roma side and I am pretty sure in Italy is all in their hands to beat anyone who they play against including a relatively good Feyenoord but which of course is not at the same level as they used to be like last year when they were Champions.

Of course De Rossi is reaping on what Mourinho has seeded so far and of course to see the merit of De Rossi we need a bit more time yet I think he is in the right way as he is getting relatively good results with Roma so far.
With Roma drawing the first leg it was still a good thing but when it comes to probabilities I think it remains the same when it comes to who will qualify for the Round of 16.

In the end, even if we are already in a marriage relationship or just in a relationship without a marriage bond with our partner, privacy will also be a very important thing to think about.
It is not wrong to always be open with your partner but on the other hand we also have to be able to know that sometimes when dealing with money, no matter your partner or family, it is possible to stab you in the back so that the importance of privacy must be maintained because we do not know the intentions of the people around us even though it is our own partner.

This can be used as a good lesson because in the end not everyone can be sure we give the secrets we have especially if in the end talking about bitcoin we voluntarily give a wallet or anything related to our assets because it could be a blow to you in the future.

Madrid have that chance, but I didn't hear any official news if Madrid were really interested. Because since Madrid's second offer failed, there has been no new news about Mbaape for Madrid. I think there will be a lot of competition with big European clubs to get him. I heard Ms Mbaape asking for a very big salary for a new club. That could put a burden on the club for his finances. I think with today's conditions Madrid have had complete players. If Mbaape comes then they have to throw out 1 player.
Everyone knows that Real Madrid is still interested in signing Mbappe. I don't know how many times PSG rejected the offer from Real Madrid. But PSG has no chance to reject the offer again because Mbappe will have the status a free agent. When his contract is over, Real Madrid only needs to negotiate with Mbappe. I believe it will be easier if Real Madrid negotiates with Mbappe only, I'm sure Mbappe will agree to move to Real Madrid.

However, Real Madrid must pay the salary of Mbappe lower than the salary in PSG. If Mbappe agrees with this situation, I believe Mbappe will be Real Madrid player for the next season.
But can it happen without any obstacles at all? because in the end this is talking about money and it is impossible for PSG to release Mbappe for free when Mbappe's value is now more than 150 million so negotiating with Mbappe when he is on a free transfer will indeed be an easy thing but in fact something like this will not be easy because there will definitely be the same drama as last season where PSG will press harder for Mbappe in order to benefit from the sale made.

Technically, PSG is currently in a difficult time because sooner or later PSG will definitely leave PSG, it's just that they don't want to get a very big loss because after all, if the worst possibility is that Mbappe leaves then they will definitely try to get a lot of money to be able to find a replacement for Mbappe in PSG's attack line.

I happened to be one of the person's who speculated that Manchester city was definitely going to win Chelsea, I never expected they would end the game a draw again just like they did I'm their previous meeting and I was thinking Manchester city wouldn't want to permit much happening again.

Manchester city did had a full squad which was the excuse dkwni
Almost everyone will predict this because it refers to Chelsea's performance which is difficult to guess and with the condition of Manchester City, which is always superior, especially playing at home, it will definitely make the thoughts of a lot of bettors be on Manchester City in this match and I don't think it's a wrong thing even though the results are not too good and not too desirable for us.

Manchester City played so well that they even locked up the Chelsea players in half the field for 90 minutes of the match but in the end the tight defense by Chelsea made Manchester City hassle to penetrate the bus parking defense style they did in this match.

Poche realized that if they took more initiative in this match then the same score when Chelsea met Liverpool could have been repeated so they were better off playing it safe and in fact this scheme was successful in reducing the attacks made by Manchester City.
290  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Between new tokens and old tokens, which would you invest into? on: February 17, 2024, 08:34:09 PM
I think in this case it is not a matter of whether it is new or old but where the progress is good because in the end if indeed the new project is better then it must be a very appropriate choice to be in a new project rather than forcing an old project that is unclear in terms of its prospects so that the old or new project is not the initial benchmark for investing.

But when talking about tokens, especially in altcoins, actually regardless of the project, everything is still speculative where courage determines everything because we know for sure that being in a token is just hoping for luck even though no matter how good the whitepaper or roadmap is built, in the end it is the pump and dump scheme that always determines the fate of a project in altcoins, especially for new projects.
291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: February 16, 2024, 09:51:35 PM
Lyon leading by a goal already isn't looking really nice for nice (lol), Nice is currently like the second best team in the Ligue 1 after PSG this season and they are expected to win playing against Lyon who just got out of relegation recently but then it's looking like they seem to have gotten more strength and confidence after getting out of relegation.

Nice has lost two game already going by their records of their most recent five games, they are not looking so promising as finishing second by this results as they are supposed to finish even at the second position because PSG is currently far away from them but then finishing second will means they will be able to get to secure a spot at the champions league next season which isn't a bad achievement at all , let hope to see what happens in the second half and expect more goals from Lyon or probably Nice be able to equalize.
72 minutes gave already been played in the French league game between Lyon and Nice at the Groupama Stadium and the home team is still leading with one goal which was scored in the 22nd minute by Orel Mangala. Lyon actually started the season on a very bad note but in recent games they've been getting good results which was enough for them to overcome the relegation fight.
Unlike Lyon, Nice started the season on a very impressive run and were seen as the only club that was gonna challenge Paris Saint Germaine for the French league title but considering their poor results in recent games, Nice I don't think stands a chance to win the league title this season
Nice tried their best in the second half this time in order to equalize the score but Lyon did not want to miss the points just like that at this time because however by looking at what is happening now even in terms of possession they are still balanced but it looks like Lyon continues to try to secure their 1 goal so as not to be avenged because indeed this could be an important point for Lyon even though they have been freed from the relegation zone but their position has not changed much and with this victory it will consolidate their previous 2 matches and of course this will make them more confident.
It's already halfway through the season and of course with 1 goal in hand I think Lyon will try to hold on and try not to be provoked by the intimidation of the Nie players who are starting to feel a little troubled in the remaining time.
I didn't bet on this game but I'm happy to watch it and quite happy with Lyon's win in this game.

The game between Chelsea and Manchester City,we are expecting a minimum of five goals in that game.I expect city to score more than three goals in that encounter, although I know it won't just be as easy as we think,but to be frank, Chelsea are not improving at all,by now they are supposed to be one of the most deadliest team in the league because they spent so much  money on players,but they haven't benefitted anything from those players,they aren't playing so good,that's why their performance is low as well. City are in a great form now because their best players are all back,and are trying to go back to the top.So Chelsea are going to concede much goals tomorrow.
IMO its too big if the minimum is 5 goals in this match.
Indeed for now Manchester City has always been a club with a pretty good situation and can score a lot of goals if they cannot be stopped but the problem is with Cheslea. Not to say Chelsea is bad in this case because some of the wins they get are a very good thing its just that in this case we must be aware that Chelsea is a club that is difficult to guess at this time.

They can play very well and can score more than 2 goals when meeting a fairly strong club but on the one hand sometimes they also become a bad club.
I will still continue to support Manchester City in this match because after all for now Manchester City is the favorite before the match starts regardless of the goals scored I just want to see Manchester City get 3 points again in the match later.

Luckily for me, Bitcoin is now at 52 thousand dollars, and i feel so excited to see the number of profits that i have accumulated within the shortest time which no other investment can give such profits in such a time frame, so I am glad.


Don't be too complacent friends, indeed when buying at low prices after a bearish run a few years ago until the beginning of the year this month there were indeed a lot of blessings when we bought bitcoin and started to continue doing DCA but in the end when the word profit is short actually don't be too happy with this because even though it's very good for now but you only get the sweet thing now and have never gone through a phase where you have to fight in the turmoil of the mind when bitcoin has decreased and as much as possible your brain stays awake so as not to sell it.

Indeed, buying bitcoin at a low price and selling it at a high price is still the ideal form until now but if in the end you only focus on the profits that you say are short like today without learning more I will make sure it is difficult for you to resist the temptation that occurs in the end.

2019 dan 2024 sistemnya berbeda. Tidak disemua daerah, tapi didaerah saya itu terjadi menurut pengalaman yang sudah saya jalani. 2019 sistem amplop pemilu lebih tertutup dan tidak semuanya menerima atau kebagian akibat cara yang tertutup.
Di pemilu 2024, amplop tidak lagi menjadi tertutup. Semua orang sudah tau dan sudah menunggunya untuk diterima.

Menurut saya sistemnya tetap sama tetapi caranya yang memang berbeda karena di periode 2019 atau periode 2024 kali ini skemanya tetap sama dimana amplop dan isinyalah yang memegang kendali dalam pemilihan kali ini hanya saja memang caranya saat ini lebih terang-terangan dimana ketika pemilu yang bahkan sedang dalam masa tenang justru itu dimanfaatkan oleh para timses untuk menggaet suara untuk calon mereka.
Di tempat yang saya tinggali sekarang h-2 dan h-1 bahkan hari H pemilu justru dijadikan ajang dimana uang menjadi faktor penting ketika uang mana yang besar maka kans mereka mendapatkan suara sangat besar.
Di pemilihan DPRD KAB/KOTA yang sudah terjadi terdapat beberapa timses yang bahkan datang kerumah saya dengan membawa ragam isi amplop dari mulai 25k-100k untuk bisa menyoblos calon yang mereka usung dengan embel-embel uang adalah sebagai transportasi dan memang saya cukup yakin bahwa hal seperti ini tidak hanya terjadi di daerah saya tetapi hampir di keseluruhan daerah.
Padahal sudah ada larangan dan sudah ada panwanslu yang ditugaskan untuk mengawasi kecuragan seperti ini tetapi justru terkadang panwaslu sendiri ikut andil dalam melakukan pergerakan seperti ini karena memang mereka juga tidak ingin kehilangan momentum untuk mendapatkan uang dari calon yang membutuhkan suara sehingga dengan sistem yang sebenarnya flat karena terus sama setiap pemilu tetapi untuk cara kali ini lebih brutal dari biasanya.

Mungkin yang menggelitik dan tidak mengeluarkan uang yang besar tetapi bisa menang dengan mudah hanyalah Komeng Cheesy yang memang tanpa bekingan partai tetapi karena kepopularitas yang dia miliki dia sangat unggul di DPD Jabar dalam pemilu kali ini .

Rome made a big mistake by firing Mourinho. He was one of the best coaches, if not the best coach in the EL and could have achieved the best result with the team. De Rossi simply doesn't have the experience to be able to work at such a level like him.
Not to belittle Mourinho in this regard but when Roma sacked Mourinho and replaced with De Rosi now it actually proves that Mourinho is not that big now.
Indeed he is a good coach but in the end Mourinho's prime has now run out which makes the situation uncontrollable for Roma which makes Roma look for other options by firing Mourinho as coach as for his current replacement De Rosi indeed this is a condition that can be considered a gamble because Roma are bravely looking for a new coach who does not really have big experience because De Rosi is a new coach. De Rosi is a new coach who lacks experience but when Roma has determined then they realize what they are doing now because in the end some new coaches who lack experience are also sometimes very good because they know what he has to do especially Roma and De Rosi is nothing new because De Rosi is one of the living legends in Rome.

When talking about this match I think the draw at Feyenoord stadium is not a bad thing because after all this is a good thing because the first leg match and it is away is still very good especially when looking at h2h when Roma was coached by Mourinho the results were not much different from this time.
Regardless of whether or not Roma is doing it right now, I think it depends on a matter of time and perspective because after all, by looking at what is happening now, Roma's performance under De Rosi is still quite good if you look at the results of the match.
296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: February 15, 2024, 07:43:12 PM

 Roma should have a target. They should focus on finishing in the top four at the end of the season. Which is definitely going to be hard I know. But they should not give up. Right now the initial target should be getting into the top five. And decreasing the point difference.

It's a modest target for Roma but it's too big a target for De Rosi who is the new replacement coach at the moment.

Even if it is a good enough target but of course we must realize that for a new coach with minimal experience then something like this is a difficult condition and actually adds to the pressure even greater.
Replacing Mou with De Rosi I think the goal is not for the top 4 at the end of the season but trying to hope to improve the results to be even better. As for them being in the top 4, it's very good therapy if not as long as they finish in a higher position than Mou gave then it's also a good thing for Roma.

The match has entered extra time but the score is still unchanged and indeed looking at some of the results of previous Roma and Feyenoord matches, a draw is a natural thing.
297  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why do many people fail in trade? on: February 14, 2024, 08:38:15 PM
Many people are clumsy in trading because they only think about profits, but after they suffer a loss they are traumatized so they don't want to try again, usually new people are interested in trading because they see people, and follow the crowd, without thinking long and without a strategy they go into trading without there is knowledge of just following the crowd

Exactly, I believe that most traders who have just come or I mean they are beginners come with the aim of making a profit, I understand that all traders have a goal to make a profit and that is natural but the problem is that most beginners come too focused on the profit opportunities so it is like ignoring the aspect of possible risks that exist in the world of trading that will actually continue to lurk them.

Lack of experience and knowledge is usually always the main problem for most newbies who just come and I think it is a fact that most beginners come because they see the benefits that are successfully obtained by others or one of their friends so that it becomes a motivation for them to jump in and get involved, but unfortunately they do not pay too much attention to the possible risks that exist in the world of trading which makes them come without doing a lot of consideration from various sides and without bringing careful preparation, especially in terms of risk management, and this of course makes them really have problems when it turns out that losses are far more dominant than profits, it is not uncommon for us to find some traders who end up with a lot of losses that can even stress them, so the point is very important to be rational in seeing everything because with this then you will understand that trading is not just about profit.
298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit. on: February 14, 2024, 07:49:46 PM
What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.
That's why I say that becoming a gambling addict will be very dangerous for your life and family. And people like you said, I'm sure they are people from lower and middle economic levels, right? I mean according to what I know rich and super rich people never gamble to make money. They do it just for fun.

This is a problem for most gamblers. Because there are still many people who think of gambling as a source of income. I have a friend and I think he can be an example not to get addicted. He is not a rich man. He also only bets very small amounts. And he did it just for fun and to add adrenaline while watching sports. People like him will not be addicted to gambling and will not continue to gamble. What is most necessary is to manage time and money well, and realize that gambling will be very dangerous if we are not able to control it well.
I read a gambling thread where there was a lot of discussion about rich and poor gamblers. It was asked who gambles the most between the rich and the poor. Most of the cases seen in this thread mentioned poor gamblers who are more addicted to gambling. Based on that I would also say that a poor gambler is more addicted to gambling than a rich gambler. Because the rich have less greed for money than a poor gambler. Because the poor gambler wants to change his situation quickly. He started considering gambling as a part of his income. Wealthy gamblers are also addicted, but less than poor ones.

Overall I honestly can't say for sure about who is more addicted between gamblers who have rich or poor backgrounds, but it seems quite interesting and I also agree with you that poor gamblers are more likely to become more addicted gamblers than rich people. We can see the reason from their financial situation in real life, which of course the financial situation is the main reason that can encourage a gambler to act more aggressively, such as poor people who as we know that they have a below average financial situation and most of them misunderstand what is meant by "winning opportunities" in gambling, they think that gambling can change their fortunes for the better when in fact gambling is not a place that can be used as an alternative to overcome financial problems but instead gambling with the wrong approach will make you suffer more financial problems.

So the financial situation that poor people have in my opinion can really be used as an excuse for the idea that "poor people can be much more addicted than rich people", on the other hand it is quite reasonable and I believe that rich people treat gambling as nothing more than a place of entertainment when they have a little free time in the middle of their busy lives, and also in my opinion rich people will not make gambling a place to earn because usually they will consider something from all sides and announce something that has the certainty to be truly profitable or profitable such as investment or business in real life.

Just as it is foolish to make a gambling decision based directly on luck, it is even more foolish to expect additional profits after receiving the expected profits. So we have to keep everything to a limited level.
That is how gamblers are, foolish. We gamble like we don't treat it like business, so we fully rely on luck, and if we feel lucky, we love to push our luck to maximize our winning. I think we can only think of limiting our losses but on winnings, we can't do that as we want to win more and more, and that's the reason why gamblers losses in the long run because we push our luck so hard until we reach to the level that ran out of it already.

We always love to take a higher risk, if we lose then we lose, seize the moment as they say.
Thats the reality of gambling and this is something that we should really be that be wary about those risks involved and the acceptance with those losses on which we might be able to experience.
Lets just face up the reality and we wont really be having those kind of disappointments and desperation on trying out to cope up with those loses. This is why it would really be that important that you should really be just that playing just for the sake of fun. Dont make yourself that desperate on making money, Those kind of regrets that they could have won bigger and since they had missed out
on doing such make huge bets just because they didnt able to make out due to some circumstances then this is where regret would be starting to be murmur.

The point is that we must be able to understand what gambling is really about because by understanding the real facts about gambling then I think indirectly you will be able to become a responsible gambler in the sense of being able to accept whatever the results at the end of the session because someone who has the right understanding as well as being responsible they will never dare to put an amount of budget that they cannot be responsible for especially for losing at the end of the session because they are more concerned with risk management than chasing something that has absolutely no certainty.

One of the reasons why we are not advised to make gambling a place that produces because obviously in the end such an idea will only make you experience more downturns and feel a lot of regret, I can already confirm that when gamblers carry the intention and purpose to produce then obviously they will definitely do a lot of experiments based on beliefs and hopes that will indirectly drain their money slowly, so actually the victory you get if calculated with the number of defeats during the trial period must be a much greater number of defeats or the intention is difficult to get out with a truly intact state. So let's make eyes and make gambling nothing more than an activity to fill your spare time without putting hope or seriousness, if you really want to earn then it's better to look for other ways such as work in general that does have certainty and guarantee.

It's okay if you blame yourself for your bad luck, because that is a normal response to this bad reality. What is not permissible is when someone blames himself too much for his bad luck, to the point where he curses himself and considers himself useless. That is a complete no-no. Because gambling is related to luck and gamblers must be prepared for all possibilities that they could lose at the gambling they play. And when their expectations do not match reality, it means they have to accept reality with a humble heart.
Very well said, but then, not every person understands things like the way you said it here.
In the last week or so, I  created a thread here of a reddit user was said he hated himself so so much for being so unlucky, he said his friends are winning, making money off gambling, but for him, the story had been completely different for several weeks as he kept losing his bet, regardless of how sure he was he was going to win it, and that had made him hate himself, and feel so shameful of himself that it was affecting his self esteem.

Personally, I sometimes feel it's completely crazy how deep some people allow gambling get into them, like the world is going to end if they do not win their gambling games.

That is very well said.Most people cannot make a real distinction between the reality that the odds are against them when gambling and the illusion that with gambling you will win a lot of money,that is the real motivator but one should also consider the odds against himself when gambling.Yesterday as usual I played like 90 dollars and kept losing and recovering during the session but I saw that I was staying in the same pattern loop and quit after a couple of hours with the initial bankroll.If I had continued I would have lose them all.

True, most of them, especially those who are addicted, are trapped in a circle of illusion in their minds because of the hope they put on winning, as you said that they cannot distinguish between feelings and logic, what I mean is that they are too prejudiced for gambling which is actually full of logic. and when you put hope in gambling then indirectly without realizing it will create confidence in yourself by saying that "I can win", And when you put hope in gambling then indirectly without realizing it, it will create confidence in yourself by saying that "I can win", especially when they see or hear some victories that are successfully obtained by other people or one of their friends which of course this will further motivate them to act more crazy and aggressive.

However, healthy gambling is when you are able to balance everything, and you can only get that balance when you understand the concept of gambling, especially in terms of possible risks, which basically can never be separated from the name of gambling. So you will only be able to make everything balanced and avoid the bad possibilities that exist in gambling when you are able to turn yourself into a gambler who is responsible for any possibilities that will occur, you will not be too difficult to take some recommended actions that are indeed the best decision for yourself such as stopping when the situation is not possible.
