My advice to you is that you should not beat yourself unnecessarily over this, it is one of those things. In your case, let me say it is not even greed per se, you were just unlucky in this case. I define greed separately to what happened to you even as it is contributory at the same time, and at times, the added game could even be won and those you chose earlier than it could be lost, that's gambling for you. It's bad you are beating yourself now and feeling bad simply because it was the last game you added that cut the ticket, it should not be like that.

Luck is what I see here, but unfortunately, it was not on your side, still, continue to analyze your match very well and bet your thing, one day, you will win the whole ticket. But still, I advise people to limit the amount of betting they loop together, it is never worth it when it is getting too much. We should know that the higher the number of games we combine together in a ticket, the higher the difficulty of winning the game and also the higher the possibility of losing the match. This is why I bet my games independently so that if I lose a match, it will not affect the others. This is not about what earns me a huge amount of winnings but the consistency and how it helps me to manage my gambling portfolio better even as I win more with it.

This is serious and any gambler that is practising this can only be termed Addicted and Irresponsible above all other things else. Gambling is not what we should take for a do-or-die affair, it should be voluntarily and enjoyed by the right minds for it. But the moment you know that you are not fitting for gambling, just quit it, or else, you will have yourself to blame in the long run. You can imagine someone betting his salary on gambling, or someone betting against his property just because they want to bet? That is preposterous and annoying, it should be frowned against in the society. Those who are agreeing to the terms of people betting on their properties or using them as collateral are even wicked in my opinion, because if I were the operator or the agent, I would rather reject that offer and offer some psychological help to the person. This is possible for me because everything is not about the money or taking advantage of the situation of the person but show sympathy and impact in the humanitarian aspect of life.

Before I go, let me say a few words of advice. Any bettor that is taking it to the extreme should retrace their steps, it is not worth it and it shows clearly that they are already Mad even if they do not realise it yet. I see these things you iterated above as absurd and anyone doing absurdity can't tell me they are well. They could be well physically, but truly psychologically, they are simply unwell, and they need to take care of that before it is late. Those people in this stage may not even need to deceive themselves with some kind of self-help anymore as it is obvious that they have crossed the red line already. They rather need professional help before something worse than losing their money happens to them.

The possibility of gamblers making that huge money even as their mind is positioned towards the money is so little, so what do you expect? I think it's high time that gamblers wake up from their dreams and face the reality of the activity. Gambling is not hard on its own but the approach we are using to play it is, it matters a lot but people often disregard it and engage it shabbily all the same. This is an activity that is highly luck-inclined, and even if you are smart enough to deviate to sports betting, you will still need a high degree of luck irrespective of your expertise about it.

This is why we should zero our minds and the money to be made in gambling. We should gamble politely and managerially even as we accept the outcome of our bettings. This is more reason why we should not be betting carelessly with huge money at all times, because we never know the outcome for sure, so we should think about what the betting outcomes would cause to our psychological state if we lose it above anything else. This is a matter of "before warn is before arm," and I am sure that gamblers with this kind of cautious mind will not be affected by gambling in any way since they've already prepared for the outcome even as they take gambling for what it really is.

Oh, that's a sad story, but it is not uncommon in gambling, and it is the reason why we should gamble smartly and wisely. Everything about gambling must be taken seriously, especially if you are the type that is so conservative about it, you have to get your mental alertness ready and also make sure that you are so calculative and budgetary.

You should have known how to place your bet correctly and how to manage your gambling portfolio safely without emotions like greed. This still further entails the calculation of your winnings and how to dive them into reasonable proportions to know the proportion that will be reinvested into gambling, the one that will end up in enjoyment and celebration, and finally the one that would end up in business/investment. This plan will largely depend on the amount of the winning, regardless, no winning is too small to attract its own right plans if we are wise.

In your own case, had it been you preplanned things well, it would never have ended like that, but for your lack of the right management of your winning, you lost it back to gambling. See, gambling is never difficult, and even if a person is a loser in it, such can still be happy and moderate the losses with a viable plan, especially in the psychological and managerial aspects of it. I've tried and tested it many times and it is working for me, we just have to take gambling more seriously in terms of how we work our way around it and be accountable for whatever we do around it.

Well, I don't think that anyone who is an adult, whether they gamble or not, would not have heard a few stories of those who hit the Jackpot so big to the point that it changed their lives (if they utilized it well) or the money is capable of changing their lives (even if they mismanaged it). So gambling is capable of either fixing our financial problems or financially rekindling our hope in life. But if we do not deceive ourselves at the same time, the percentage of such people who will say they won big in gambling is so little, that's the issue here. Gambling is so risky and those who can turn to it for financial help can't be automatically helped, especially if they are desperate about the money to be made from it. Gambling only blesses randomly and the magnitude is not that large at the same time.

This is why I advise anyone who needs financial liberation to turn elsewhere, gambling is not just that avenue, this is unless the person is only deceiving himself. Gambling has issues of its own and is not an automatic means to earn money but for luck. Think about it, how many people are so lucky in gambling to the point that they will always be happy when they turn to it? This is why we should be smart and knock elsewhere if we need money but only gamble with a neutral mind, and if the money comes from it no matter how big or little it is, then fine, it is our luck. But being desperate to look for the money through it? The gambler will only meet a worse fate as gambling will always be risky and addictive which could make the person lose more than even the money invested into it.

I've never tried to watch my live match on casino streaming offers before, maybe I will even try it now as what a person may not like, another could like it. What I normally do and which I am okay with is to search on X (formerly Twitter) the match I want to watch and it brings it out most times. Also, I prefer free service to paid service in this regard.

However, in my experience, when it comes to football streaming and for you not to miss a single important match, cable TVs or their online enablements are the best. You can find your way around it to connect it to either your laptop or TV for higher resolution if that is what you want which you would have also selected as you stream.

This is very bad, which country is that again? In my country, if you win your Lotto ticket today, you have the right to collect your money on that very day if time has not been far spent, or the very next day. At least, this is my experience with offline lottos, although they now have their presence online, but I do not think anything would change, and possibly, the online presence will make the whole process faster.

All they need to do is credit your bank account and you are good to go. Lotto is not what they are still verifying like that, once the combination is correct, you are good to go, so why the delay? A year? That's bad.

Anything can happen any second even though we do not pray for bad things. This is more reason why people's wins and benefits should be paid as quickly as possible. What if the family member needed money to sort the hospital bill when the person was in the common but never knew how to claim the winnings or didn't know there was one winning to even claim?

This is not an issue. I believe the winner must have known the kind of family he's from to conclude whether to tell them or not. In my family, not even the spouses would know if we want to keep it a secret.

Conclusively, since the lotto company is not an investment bank that will be adding a huge interest to my money with them, then I prefer to claim my winnings within 24 hours. In my possession, I can decide on what I will do with my money, which I believe that the majority of it will go for business and investment. This is a cool plan and purpose than letting it waste away with the lotto company.

Whether it is for a huge opportunity or a little one, gamblers should try as much as possible to avoid the money-making mindset, if not, it will always cloud their judgment since there is no way they will be desperate about the money and also have their focus set towards it that it will not affect them in one way or the other. Gambling is to be enjoyed, and not the other way round, and even as the gambler is enjoying it with a neutral mind of getting money from it or not, they can still get the money indeed. But this time, they could get it harmlessly and peacefully, that's the difference.

But people get disappointed and stressed simply because their minds are too positioned on the money they want to get in gambling, this is desperation and I don't think it has ever landed any gambler into anything good except for frustration, addiction, depression among others which would surely happen to the gambler due to their lack of cautious gambling and for their irresponsible gambling.

I would like to know your country if you don't mind because I am so confused about this and the laxity of your government and that of the older generations that should have frowned so much at that situation which is becoming alarming. As negligent and uncared as my country is, I hardly hear that younger ones are gambling, not to mention them being addicted to it, this is an abomination. Fine, there will always be some odd cases, but the situation should never be worse than 0.001% in a sane society and a bit higher in some insane society where people are still taking responsibility. The only issue in my country that I still believe people should frown at is when an adult sends the younger ones to bet on their behalf. They might write the betting options on a sheet of paper and send them to deliver it to the operator/agent in some physical casinos. Those agents will now input the options and issue the ticket to the young children for delivery.

This shouldn't be, as children of that age should have never been exposed to such a thing, and I wonder why they will not be corrupted by that because very soon, they will also want to test what they are being sent to do. In a sane society, such a thing should not have happened, and both the adult who sent them on such an errand and the operator are jailable for that crime. Had it been that the government is serious about it and the citizens are also cooperative in reporting such a situation, I am sure that it would have stopped. However, this is rampant in a local part of my country where they are popularly termed ghetto and not in a civilized environment.

Lol...it baffled me how gullible some people could be, this is how they are using a little cajoling to confuse them which is not supposed to be so so long as they are adults. Gambling and betting are just the same things but different words because betting is a form of gambling, and vice versa. So if someone is now trying to believe he can reposition the narrative, then it is the person who is merely deceiving himself.

Irrespective of that, all that is good towards gambling/betting is for the person to fully understand the context so that he can play them well, have fun or gamble for the money moderately/reasonably and get satisfied and not be irresponsible towards it. Having a different feeling/description just because of the name is not going to take anyone anywhere, that is just the truth, except for how we handle gambling individually.

I don't think there is much to say here other than the two are fairer than each other. If you are betting casino games, be sure that the house has an advantage over you since they own and operate the algorithms you are playing against. They can in some cases increase or decrease the difficulties, that is why you will never be at that advantage against them but rely on luck no matter how good you are at playing it.

But for sports betting, the house is risking just like you as you are betting what is not deniable anywhere in the world. The results of matches and the events that happened during those matches are always the same all over the world because everyone is seeing them at the same time and records will always be the same, which are accessible all over the internet. So the house will not be able to manipulate anything here but will have to continue to take the risk against your side of the bet.

If you are good, they get to face the brunt as you continue to earn from their pocket. But if you are a loser, they get to pocket your money, it's as simple as that and nothing is fairer than this.

This is a good point even as it deviates from the context in the OP, and I could remember that I'd shared a view like this before on this thread but it was in an advice note. Fine, parents cannot be following their children everywhere at all times, they have their lives too, but if any child got to learn something that is adult-related at a younger age externally, the parent is absolved of that, after all, the parent could be gambling but since he knows that the child could be affected by it kept it from him/her. By conscience and by moral/good upbringing, the parent has done his part.

Nonetheless, in view of extra parenting, sensitivity is needed and the parents should be close to their children to know what is going on in their lives. However, if such as gambling is detected, it is the duty of such a parent to wade in in such a way that will be educative to the child. Such could be like letting the child know that it is not the right time for something like that and that there will be a time when he/she will be very free to do whatever they wants without anyone questioning them so long as they do it rightly.

The parent could go further to educate the child about the pros and cons of gambling and emphasize the addictive nature and how it has destroyed some people because they either did not wait for the right time as a young person or are not reasonable towards it. Gambling is so addictive and can worsely affect children if care is not taken.

This is very serious if it is true and it is sad for soccer games too because it will make the sport less attractive if it is now being planned beforehand. I read the news as well but I never took it seriously, but this time that match-fixing allegation is getting more popular, I believe that one should not take something like this lightly anymore. Although people may believe this or not, regardless, before a key player like that had to be sanctioned means the investigation would have gotten to some concluding end, that's bad. This is why I made a similar remark in my last post that is related to match-fixing that no one is to be trusted.

This is so unfortunate to be sincere.

OP, gambling has never been the issue per se but the people who are gambling themselves. Just think of gambling as a neutral activity where people can decide on what to do and even adjust if need be. Now, if someone is misbehaving in such an activity due to his irresponsible acts or the person is being controlled by gambling through addiction, who is to blame here? The person of course!

We should not love anything too much or let it blind/control us, and neither should we be desperate about gambling as the love of money will always cloud our right judgment towards it and this will never lead us to somewhere good. Gambling is so risky, so we should take it for what it is, and this is more reason why we should gamble with care to guard against the possible issues attached to it.

Cautious gamblers will always be mindful of whatever they do so that they do not allow it to waste too much of their resources, not to talk of getting addicted to it. For me, gambling is absolved of most fault here as it is not by force we gamble, we should only gamble when we are fit for it, and our right to gambling lies solely in our hands and nobody's hands.

I've read a lot about this and truly it has happened before, yes, match-fixing has happened before but it was many decades ago, except for the few suspected ones years back. Still, I will not say such is not happening, money, they say controls a lot, and through internal politics, they control, perfect it and cover up for the rest. If one would say that FIFA is so innocent, I would never believe that, it is so obvious in some award selections that will look like a daylight robbery, but I am not going there to avoid more complications. But for the match-fixing, if anyone tells you that it is known, that person will be telling a lie. This is because if matches would be fixed at all, it will be a top secret in which all mechanism are perfected without any trace of fault to anyone, that is the issues here.

But for me, I will not be so trusting about this, so it is very possible that there are match fixing to favour some sides. As for the players as well, you can only trust yourself since you do not know what they do in their closets. But if we look at it from a different angle too, they have their career in line with this, so it is possible that many things that looks like a planned work are not actually true.

The same allegations has been meted to referees as well, but since no ones has been caught recently about it (at least that I know of), we have to overlook it. No one is guilty of what you can't prove.

Thank you for the piece you've shared, they are all helpful and I am certain that those gamblers who can read your short article will be blessed in disguise. I wonder why people are gambling in desperation in the first place, gambling should be an extra activity and should not even be done solely for the money to be made through it. And even if the person will not solely gamble for fun but for the money, they should be wise about it and moderate things to avoid issues for themselves. I do not know the gain of the gambler who had wasted his money on gambling but still went ahead to borrow more money to gamble, is that not insane?

No one needs to tell such a gambler that he is losing it already, and perhaps he is already addicted to gambling. How it should be reversed should be the burning desire of the person and not the other way around. Gambling can only be enjoyed if we are responsible in doing it, but the moment we start irresponsible gambling, then we become unuseful to ourselves and everyone around us. Is that a good remark? This alone should have talked senses to many gamblers gambling anyhow.

We are all looking forward to Bitcoin reaching that high and historical level ($100,000) but let me tell you, if anyone tells you that it will "certainly" reach that level, that person is deceiving you. No one knows what the market would do and Bitcoin has not hit that level before to warrant us being empathetic about it, so any price calling can never be professional, the market doesn't work like that. It is all about our wish and hope now, and we pray that it hits that level so that we can make more money.

However, my concern is the fact that Bitcoin is not showing so much seriousness in this regard and what I see now as more concerning is the fact that lack of liquidity could be an issue. I've raised this issue many times but people think I was being overbearing about it, but well, let's see how things go. My reason for the concern is the fact that liquidity is not just coming from thin air, it comes from the pocket of some people. If there are no new adopters of Bitcoin who can inject their capital, it then becomes an issue. And in contrast to how people expect it, they believe that some whales will push it toward the $100,000 automatically, but nothing is magical here.

Wait a minute, which whale doesn't like money and wouldn't have bought Bitcoin at a low price? Haven't those guys thought that these investors are not new to investment environment and market psychology? Didn't they know that they know the beauty of buying low and the danger of buying at a high price? This is what many will not consider despite being a concern because the love of Bitcoin has blinded them.

Mainnet? Which Mainnet again

Regardless, Solana is a very good coin but it could be disastrous if we are too trusting of any coins, anything can happen in the crypto market which could be adverse irrespective of how good the project is. This is why whenever you buy a coin, you should know you are taking a risk and the risk becomes higher when you do not strike it when it is still very low. Solana is high in price now and it is more than half of its ATH already, and you can't compare yourself buying it now($170) with someone who had struck it when it was still at about $15. The difference is clear and so is the risk.

Still, this will still not stop the coin from appreciating more, but note that you are risking more in case it slips to the bearish trend earlier than expected and you can't earn so much from it anymore in this bullish season. I am one of the few people who believe that Solala could still hit $1,000 this bullish season, if this happens, that's your luck.

Nevertheless, this is merely a wish and an instinct, it is never truly professionally speculated since the asset has never reached that level before.

Lol...this is concerning really as the market force has been naturally dropping the pay rate. The forum tried to establish itself ever since m!xers have left but I think the reality is bitting hard now, not more $250 or more offers. Though there are still good campaign offers, except that it is not more than $100, excluding the bonus, and with the bonus, people may still earn $160, but with some tough tasks.

It is not business as usual, but time changes and things might be reviewed upwards by the same market force that dropped it. That said, it also depends on the way you view it as the earning from the forum is a passive income, and regardless of the country you are in the world if you are earning $400, it can do some extra things for you compared to if you never earned it.

This is also with less work to do, especially if your campaign asks you to post a maximum of 20-25 per week (an average of 3 posts per day). However, this is huge money in some countries, and with that little effort put into it a day, it is a very reasonable extra income on average.

Now, how do we get an honest review? That is the issue, my friend, we hardly see or read the truth these days as everyone is now for the money and not the integrity and sanity of the readers and the world at large. This is why I will always advise everyone to ensure they are deriving their information from the right channels, this is the only way they can at least get some above-average information/review that will be true. One can do that with private websites, but please, such site owners must be trusted so well with the best possible antecedents and not the kind of random reviewers and influencers in which you can be sure that almost all that they are reviewing cannot be true.

This is because they are simply for the money mainly and not for the truth. Money is causing a whole lot these days and technology is also abating them, which is sad. There are no regulations again to make matters worse because if there are viable regulations and sanctions that could be meted, website owners and influencers will think twice before telling lies just because they want to lure people, or should I say next victims to some companies.

Nonetheless, if the reviews are many and are random, I mean the ones in which the websites/platform owners give people the benefit of stating their individual and independent experience about companies, then an iota of truth about the company can still be derived, particularly if one can read them insightfully.
