3061  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: October 11, 2023, 09:00:43 PM
But if it is a gambling addiction, it will only give them problem after problem, especially if they don't understand when they should stop gambling and just want to gamble. The big difference between successful gamblers and gamblers who are addicted to gambling is that there is no self-control when gambling. There are no clear boundaries regarding the use of money and time so gamblers who are addicted to gambling only spend their time gambling. Even though he still has other things he can do to reduce his time gambling.

And yes, someone who is addicted can lose many things in their life including their family. Meanwhile, successful gamblers can still enjoy their lives well and still have the money they earn from gambling. He can also do other interesting things that can benefit him more.
Successfully gamblers can also be seen with some level of relativity, personally I could say there are two types of this successful gamblers, one are those who happens to gat a big win once and quit gambling after wards, they could possibly be considered successful because they got a level of success and went on to build on it in a different venture.

Another class of successful gamblers could be seen as those have gotten some level of experience over the years and have got a strategy with which they gamble that usually turns out profitable for them most often than it turns against them, this people are successful and still in the act to consolidate on their success, now observing carefully you would see that the first set of successful gambler's were lucky and immediately discontinued

This is because they don't want to get to point nof addiction because they don't have a pattern with which they gamble they were only lucky at a shot , while the second do have a system with which they use to continually stay consistent and successful making it easy for them to keep their habit under control and not possibly get addicted.

If you are a successful businessman or a boss, maybe you have a lot of time to pay attention to your children and supervise them all the time because you can just stay at home watching them and let your subordinates trust you to manage your business, but if you are a worker it will obviously be difficult. because it will take up your time while working, but no matter how hard you watch them it won't help you more, you might also neglect your business or work

The point is, just entrust it to someone who looks after them or your wife because they might understand them better and be able to supervise them full time, whereas you are a man who has to work and do business outside the home to support them so it won't be possible to always be at home, the point is to give a message to your nanny and wife about the dangers of gambling and keep them away from there.
At least we have a partner who can help supervise and pay attention to our children so they don't do bad things. This requires cooperation with our partners so that each can do their job well because it is all for our children. And every parent is willing to do the best for their children.

But if they already have a gambling addiction, getting them out of there may take more work. And even though we don't know how long we can help the healing process, we must continue to accompany him so that he knows we are always with him. We as parents, might be able to ask him to do something to divert his attention so he can focus on other things.
Giving out the responsibility of looking after your kids to some one else from outside is not ideal because it's definitely not a guarantee they would do their job exactly as expected of them, at some point they could be negligent or better still the kids could device means to get away with what ever it is they are doing around their guardians and you wouldn't get to know.

In the case of gambling addiction the kids could have gotten this trait and possibly hide it from their hired guardian and it will never come to their notice as they will not be with the kids always except during their official working hour's. So I don't think leaving them to a hired guardian will do any better on them as some guardians in the bid to act professionally will have restrictions and can not possibly monitor the child enough as you the parents will do.

In the case of the parents, you have full access and control over your kind at almost any point in time and you can take decision for them  without been cautioned and to a very large extent you could possibly pip into their privacy to get a glimpse of what they do, something your hired guardian could possibly not do, this way you can spot these habits earl enough to curb them.

The odds for the Milan - Juventus game are like this:

Milan: 2.30   Juventus: 3.20

Maybe the odds would have been a little closer to each other but it is still fair I think. Because Milan have won all of their home games so far and they are in the lead in the standings as well. They only lost to Inter which was a really huge one. But it still didn't affect them much mentally. That has been the only point loss for them so far. They just can't underestimate Juventus on one hand because Juventus are also impressive this season. If we see the usual Milan they should at least be winning by one goal.  Smiley
Odds @2.30 are really good, and I think it seems quite worthy if betting on Milan. Also, on the other side, this season Juventus has lost when playing away against Sassuolo. So it seems there is a possibility that Milan will win and successfully secure the three points, at home Milan is very consistent and I personally believe Milan can win but I agree with you maybe not with big score.
Somehow instinctively I just tend to stan Milan more, I just don't have very solid reasons but then Milan just happens to be my favorite for this match, Juventus has not really been the best with away games this season and Milan isn't a weak team to say would give Juventus an easy chance to steal points from them especially at their home, Milan would rather prefer to share the points.

Juventus at the third position on the table has lost three times this season and had some six wins with three draw. Juventus loosing to sassuolo and it's a weak team as compared to AC Milan so if they lost to such a team meeting AC Milan will mean a loss or probably a difficult time or a very hard game to win which they are most likely not to get.

When Bayer Leverkusen played against Bayern Munich, I thought maybe the match would be a match where Bayer Leverkusen would lose. But in reality, Bayer Leverkusen managed to hold Bayern Munich to a draw and of course, this result is at least a sign that Bayer Leverkusen has a good chance of being able to compete well in the race for the Bundesliga title this season. The reason is, in the Bundesliga at least Bayern Munich is the team to benchmark, at least to determine whether a team like Bayer Leverkusen can still get points or not. So yes, with Bayer Leverkusen success so far without being defeated, then of course I personally believe Bayer Leverkusen can do better than Dortmund in the title race with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga this season.
Bundesliga would be quite different from the ones we've experienced and watch, this season comes with a great deal of competitive games and a long run for the league title between elite teams. This is definitely the time for Bayer Leverkusen to proof Bayern Munich wrong, definitely not a domestic crown or hereditary were the Bavarians would be winning in consecutive rows. Bayer Leverkusen surprised everyone after drawed points with the Bundesliga giant, Xabi Alonso have prepared the mind and energy of his players for competitive games. Though I'm aware that other teams will join in the race, teams like Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig will anticipate.
I'm really enjoying the competitiveness that came with the bundesliga this season, it will really make bigger team come to the realization that the game Could be turned around and smaller teams can possibly get a chance to win the league title if they stay consistent, bigger teams will now have to work hard to get deserving wins unlike last season where there were landslide victories from bigger teams alone.

But now we could see the likes of xabis team becoming formidable enough to hold Munich to a draw, which is a sign of a better level of confidence which can be matched with the ability to facing any team in the bundesliga, Xabi is aspiring to win the league title if possible, as an achievement in his young coaching age, which is very possible with the current performance seen in his team at the moment.

After the last 2 matches must lose, Manchester City will host Brighton in the upcoming match. Brighton also has the status of not an easy opponent to beat, they play well even though the last 2 matches they also struggled and had to lose and draw. Manchester City must not underestimate them in this match, if they do then Brighton has the potential to give them 3 defeats in a row. The absence of KDB affects their attack line, yes now they are a little difficult in building attacks and providing passes that spoil their attackers.
Both Manchester City and Brighton appreciate the match, but for different reasons. Manchester City must revive their campaign to maintain title chances after recent losses, including a 3-2 loss to Liverpool. Although struggling in recent matches, Brighton recently won 1-0 over Tottenham Hotspur and are showing great fight. They must prove something, and what better way than against a quality team like Manchester City?

Manchester City's aggressive front is hampered by Kevin De Bruyne's absence, making it easier for Brighton to cling on. Key players like Lewis Dunk and Neal Maupay are suspended, but will return for the final day travel to Arsenal. This might put Brighton in a difficult position to replace these vacancies. In the away league, the Seagulls have never won versus City, which increases their odds of losing​3.

Brighton's recent run of ties and losses with one win suggests inconsistency. Possible lineup changes due to injuries and bans complicate Brighton's strategy for the game. Despite their recent form, many foresee a 3-0 or 2-0 win for Manchester City.

I'm not seeing manchester City win this encounter,they are going to lose three consecutive premier league matches.They are playing Brighton,and with recent records,City finds it very difficult to win against Brighton.They are normally scared of playing them,and with the fact that Debruyne will not be playing that game will give an edge to Brighton in the encounter.Meanwhile,City will be looking forward to bouncing back from their two defeats against Wolves and Arsenal,and would maximise the players they have to fill in the void left by Debruyne and other injured players at the team.If Brighton should win this game,it will definitely demoralize City,and will make other premier league teams fight more hard to win the reigning champions.
I don't think pep will allow Brighton get away with a win  not in their home, the absence of debruyne is not a full assurance that Brighton could possibly get a win over Manchester city, he is not the only player in Manchester city although he is a key player that still doesn't justify the fact that Brighton would possibly get a win from Manchester city.

Regardless Manchester city shouldn't and wouldn't take chances with Brighton as they are gradually becoming a strong force aswell after their series of wins they seem to have more confidence in the fact that they can face any team in the premier league. Brighton also have there own little challenge which if put in to consideration will definitely bee an advantage come city over them and very importantly city is playing from home so they definitely wouldn't allow a defeat from Brighton at home it may only end a draw most likely.
3066  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This is not Practical on: October 11, 2023, 04:38:41 PM
I have heard the advice that you should only use money you can afford to lose for gambling. I say that this is more theoretical than practical. Literally no one has money that they can afford to lose. I feel that money for gambling is a matter of opportunity cost. You either use the money for gambling or use it to meet a need. If using money one can afford to lose were practical there will be no need for articles on having a gambling budget or bank roll management. Hey gamblers my question is to you now is, the money you currently plan to use for gambling is it money that you can afford to lose?
The advice is not based on the fact that any one do have a certain amount of money they keep aside to be lost every now and then to gamble, but they the idea no simple a certain amount of money that will not get you so emotionally tied to you stakes such that if it turns out against you, you will find it too difficult to bear the loss.

Realistically there are certain amount of money if we loose to anything be it gambling or something else we tend not to sorrow over it for just too long we can quickly move on as such amount can be tagged insignificant to affecting our emotional and mental well being, but in situations where huge sums probably was supposed to be use for certain is use to gamble, if you eventually loose it then it becomes a problem as you find it really difficult letting go because at that point you have got some emotions attached to it already and you are probably not ready to bear such losses.
3067  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: October 11, 2023, 04:24:07 PM
If you are afraid of losing your money in a gambling place, never approach gambling, it's very simple. Gambling offers wins, but losses are very common among gamblers. They try to return to the gambling place with the aim of getting back the money they have spent, but what happens is the opposite, their money actually goes back to the casino.

When you want to make money in a place that offers 20% wins and 80% losses, it is very difficult to get out of that place and take home some money, unless you are lucky. One way to prevent your money from running out in gambling places is to immediately stop gambling and start focusing on places that can make money.
It's unfortunate people find it difficult to follow the simple advice of leaving if it's no longer entertaining and the fun has stop, chasing losses has to be the worse way of approaching gambling as this will cause you to loose much more than you would realize if you eventually gets lucky at any point, firstly gambling just with the sole aim of making money will not really make you profitable in gambling.

The fear of loosing money to gambling will not stop you from still loosing the money if you eventually gamble and happen not to be lucky, although it's not all about luck as you also have some part to calculatively predict and hope it turns out in your favour, making money with gambling happens 2 out of every 20 chances so the most ideal solution is when ever you loose you leave it get a job or if you have one already face it fully and occasionally you can go get entertained gambling if you can afford such entertainment.
3068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: October 11, 2023, 04:08:18 PM
How will you feel if someone you know or just a friend of a friend walk up to you and ask you to finance them in gambling in exchange for a portion of their winnings? Does this even make any sense?

Because the only place this makes a bit sense is the skills base niche like forex trading or crypto trading, how can gambling/gambler be financed?

Have you heard of such before? What is the end result if you have?

Why would you trust anyone to gamble better than you can when it's all about luck?

Is anyone doing this on here?

Someone explained this to me, and I believe he is already a victim because to me it doesn't make sense, I believe he is been used because he lacks knowledge about gambling, do you think my judgment is wrong?


Be it forex trading or crypto trading they are all a pool of risk you only have to measure your risk appetite, your greed level and your drive for which have led to you funding the person. In as much as funding a gambler doesn't make sense to you there are people out there who have tried it out and end up very profitable from it, in essence it's very possible to profit from funding a gambler and getting a good share of his proceed from the bets he must have placed.

But then if you must engage in such it must be with a skilled person but then you would be ready to keep an open mind as to whatever the outcome turns out to be, you are going to accept it and not throw blames at the gambler as gambling is a 50/50 chances risk but then with experience some persons can turn out luckier than you would be if you had done it yourself. So at times it wouldn't be a bad idea to fund a gambler , it's important to note that's it's not a very ideal decision to take but then out there, there are people who actually take such risk and sometimes they are profitable the other times the loose.
3069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: October 11, 2023, 03:54:39 PM
Talking about this, I remembered the previous year before the Qatar World Cup. Yes many of us speculated that the possibility of the Qatar World Cup would be the last World Cup for Messi and not just Messi but other players as well, like Ronaldo for example. But now we are starting to speculate about the possibility of Messi plying in the World Cup or not. Yes it is interesting considering his age, but indeed his influence on his country is huge. Even though he is only in the lineup and not the main player, he can give his experience to other players and also provide motivation. I also haven't heard any rumors of him retiring anytime soon.

He has seen what happened to Ronaldo during Qatar 2022. It doesn't matter whether you are a legend. When you get old, then you are out of favor with the coach. Messi will be 39 years old by the time of North America 2026 and there is a good chance that he will retire from active football before that. He has achieved whatever he wanted to achieve in international and club football. So rather than risking his reputation by playing in 2026, he may just stay out of that tournament. At the most, he may enroll for some sort of coaching responsibility for the national team.
Yes, it could very well happen when we see his name on the coaching staff list for his country. Age does not lie, even though he is still able to play, his contrbution to the game will not be the same as when he was younger and that cannot be denied. And even at his age, it's amazing that he can still contribute to the club he's playing for.
The next World Cup is the stage for the young players of today, and I'm sure there will be many new players who will get a lot of attention and then become a target for the big clubs.
I think this will a better idea for him, if he is seen amongst the coaching staff for his country I think he will do more from there, with regards to contributions and I'm very sure they will be very willing to benefit from his wealth of knowledge and experience in the world cup and football generally, he will be more impactful from the sides than he would on the pitch.

If he happens to be on the pitch he will not be very optimal as age will definitely tell on him, he may not even be able to play full time, so it will not be much needed as he will be fatigue prone and if the team puts some level of dependency on him it will turn out the teams morale may drop when he fails to meet up with expectations owing to age telling on him.

Messi is most likely to have retired by then although all these are just speculations but the let's wait and watch till 2026 and see how it plays out if he will still be in active football service and get a call from his country or he might have retired and probably taken up some coaching responsibility with the national team of his country, till then let's keep our fingers crossed.

Regarding Chelsea vs Arsenal, I can’t envisage Chelsea getting anything from the game. Arsenal have momentum now and that’s so important. Chelsea have players that could hurt Arsenal but they’re just a bit of a mess at the moment, unless they really raise their game, all I see is an Arsenal win.
Even though last week Chelsea just won a landslide victory, now they have to face Arsenal who are currently on fire after breaking their losing record against Manchester City. Of course, the Gunners will again aim to win through the match and will not waste the opportunity to continue occupying the top position. We know that Arsenal is currently competing with their city team, namely Spurs, and in terms of points scored, both are the same, so this opportunity seems like something they absolutely must win.

Maybe Chelsea could make things difficult for Arsenal and I think Chelsea's chances will probably just be trying to hold Arsenal to a draw. Even though Chelsea are the hosts, I don't see them having a chance of beating Arsenal and I think Arsenal will still have a big chance of winning even though this is an away game. My prediction is not that complicated, the possibility of a score of 1-3 for Arsenal to win is very feasible.
Currently Chelsea should still have their morale high up there as they just got a landslide victory over the week and fortunately arsenal happens to have similar experience as they just won one of their biggest rival in the English premier league, so they aswell are also high up there in spirit aswell, so you can begin to imagine what is really going to happen immediately after this international break.

The international break will also avail both teams some time to catch their breath before coming back to the field of play. So they are both coming back after been well rested and with a high morale from their most recent victory, which means they will both be in best position to give only but their best and nothing less, I'm not expecting either team to have it easy considering all the circumstances surrounding them.

With the caliber of player's in Chelsea currently, if they are rightly played in their position, having rested this long and the recent win experience and they will be hosting they are definitely going to give arsenal a tough time and probably have to share points by the end of the game altho arteta will leave no stone unturned to maintain the top spot on the table but I can assure him this isn't going to be an easy one, he is not playing from home so he would be lucky to get a win but then a draw is very likely to happen.

Well you can cry all you want after the bad things have happened but it will not solve you anything.In order to stop being in such situations like the lady here it is essential to know your inner self,if you are strong mentally and have a strong character that you pass even difficult things like gambling addiction with ease you can continue to play but if you start crying for a lost bet this means that you must stop immediately and never again touch gambling in your life,not even the smallest amount you should gamble.

That is the moral of the story,I lost everything yesterday playing slot machines yet today I am like nothing have happened and I look forward to playing again,I am extremely strong mentally that is why.
We all don't have the same mentally capacity to tolerate losses, some persons have a very weak tolerance for situations such as this but they tend to cry as away of getting over the situation but then it's usually advised when you know you have little to no tolerance to hand losses then gambling isn't for you as you may most likely break down at some point when faced with bigger losses.

She happens to be such a person who can't bear loses so I don't think she should further engage in gambling if not this is jus the beginning as she has more crying to do ahead of her, it's also possible she risked too much,.more than she could possibly afford to loose and so she couldn't take it when it turned out against her, this is why it's always advised to risky only what one can afford to loose so as not to loose ones self and mind when losses happens but then some persons will not heed they rather risk so much thinking they will make so much aswell and end up coming to cry on social platforms.

~~ Snip ~~
Psg are in their bad times lately and other teams are capitalizing on their poor form and are snatching the 3 points away from them, well I still think there's hope for them this season to defend their title and sooner or later they'll bounce back and begin to be consistent in winning games moreover they're still very strong league contenders even though they're not currently at the top of standings as expected.

 Well you're right because smaller clubs are now begin to perform better and re in a better position on the standings than PSG it would very interesting to see another team go far in the league and probably win I'm place of PSG, Monaco seem like a team that could do that this season but I doubt if they'll survive till the end of this season.
The Ligue 1 competition is exciting as PSG experiences a setback in its performance, other clubs have the opportunity to compete at the top of the standings, even though PSG will lose out again. I still feel that PSG under Luis Enrique leadership can retain the Ligue 1 trophy at the end of the season, even though they have to try harder than usual because other Ligue 1 clubs are experiencing an increase in performance.

There are still many matches ahead that will be very decisive, Monaco and Nice will certainly also experience ups and downs in performance, so PSG also still has a big chance of taking over the top of the standings. Because the difference of two points is not big, for now Enrique just needs to improve his adaptation so that it goes according to expectations.
What is happening with PSG at the moment is normal with every big team that at a point in the season they will suffer some level of set back and most likely bounce back before the season comes to an end and PSG is most likely not an exception as there is still some time for them if they improve, they could still bounce back to the top of the table displacing Monaco and Nice.

Honestly seeing smaller clubs winning and climbing up the table so fast by each game ahs really brought home the fun and excitement in the league as if it has consistently revolve around the big boys it could possibly bore the audience at some point because we know what could possibly happen and we have nothing to keep in anticipation.

Monaco and Nice I must say are really bringing home the surprise and fun with this their new found form they have got but let's hope it last and they can sustain it probably till the season get to a end maybe a new one time winner wouldn't be bad for the records, but then I'm of more certainty the may mostly finish tops but not becoming the champions.

Bayern Munich is experienced, and if we compare the scores of these two teams, Bayern Munich will undoubtedly be ahead. Galatasaray's squad is not very strong. But their main strength is the excellent understanding between the players. And that's why they were able to beat Manchester United.
They were also able to win Manchester United because their defense has been very bad this season and maybe we expected too much of Manchester United when they played against Galatasaray. Bayern are a bigger team and a team in a much better position than Manchester United, so winning Galatasaray should not be a challenge to them. Newcastle who have done well already in their tough group will play another tough game against Borussia Dortmund, but they should be able to win that game too because Dortmund is not as strong as they used to be this season.
Munich has a better defense when compared to they of Manchester united so definitely Galatasaray do not have a good chance of penetration on that defense but they will rather play defensive as I'm very sure they are much aware what Bayern can possibly do, if it were to be last season I would say Bayern Munich could possibly get 4-5 goals from that game.

Considering Munich's experience with UCL games definitely Galatasaray will not be as lucky as the were with Manchester united.  Newcastle will have a good battle with Dortmund, their home advantage could aswell help them because Dortmund has not really met up with expectations this season as compared to last season were they had series of excellent performances and almost became champions of the bundesliga, if they were in such form they could possibly win Newcastle stress free but then Newcastle is in a better form than they are now.

It will be a serious battle because both clubs are very strong right now. But I think that Milan will win not only because they will play at home, but also because Milan have only one defeat this season, and all other matches have been won. Of course you can't analyse this game on these indicators, but I think that Milan are much stronger now.
The match between AC Milan vs Juventus will be a very interesting match to watch, because apart from Milan who will try to win at home, Milan is also very determined to maintain its position at the top of the standings in order to create an early gap with its rivals. But Juventus also should not be underestimated because this season Juventus also did not suffer many defeats so Milan needs to take opponents like Juventus more seriously, because Juventus will also try to take full points at home to Milan in order to be in the title competition this season.
Milan will be relying on the home advantage to hopefully secure a win in the game against Juventus but then they are really going to have a tough time as Juventus will definitely put up a strong resistance to their tactics, Juventus currently don't have a very stable play style but I hope they will be to get a good force against Milan because Milan is currently in their best form.

Milan been at the top of the table at this time is something they will not be willing to give up considering their form now as it's really sound, they have vibrant energy enough with their attack and a sound midfield and playing from home aswell so I'm yet to spot a weakness with Wich Juventus will feast on as an advantage as Juventus has not been the best recently, they are at the forth position on the table as compared to their form last season.

If Dortmund had been superb last season, we would now still be celebrating the fact that Dortmund has broken Bayern Munich's title winning streak. The problem was that Dortmund was not superb. They have had too many problems against weaker teams and dropped points when nobody could ever think of them dropping points. When it was towards the end of the season they tied gams against Bochum and Stuttgart, both teams fighting hard to avoid relegation. Needless to say that if they won one of those games, they would have been the title winner of that season. A superb team doesn't tie a game against two teams from the relegation zone.
Borrusia Dortmund is competitive and have strength to compete with their rivals for the league title. Dortmund shocked everyone when they failed to lift Bundesliga title when everyone assumed they've won the league. Giving up at critical time, I believed they have no pressing concerns during these moments, they were carried away by excitement and Edin Terzic was reluctant with his dealings among his players. It was hugh dissapointment for Dortmund and they would lived to regret it. Perhaps the future holds desirable results which can be earned by hardwork and consistency in games.

That is what Bundesliga fans have been thinking for a decade now, that Dortmund is strong enough to compete with Bayern Munich, but the truth is that Bayern Munich won 11 titles in a row. That doesn't quite speak in favor of Dortmund's competitiveness in the Bundesliga. Bayern can count on winning the title even when they show signs of weakness and that is bad because those are the moments that Dortmund should exploit, but they don't.
Comparisons between Dortmund and Munich is such that the difference will be way too far apart as with regards to achievements, quality of play and players it's just not equal, Dortmund has set a record in bundesliga that will probably take a very long time for any German team to want to attempt breaking in the nearest future as they also main the title regardless of their recent performance.

Even their recent performance is even better than some of the German team when they happened to be in their best form. Dortmund has also been a big name in the bundesliga which cannot be undermined but it's not enough to stand a competition with Bayern. Bayern is one team that I can say would still be able to get a perfect come back at the league regardless of how awful they start.

With the caliber of player currently in Bayern Munich I'm yet to see any German team who would probably get a good win against Munich, even in their current state they still stand unbeaten in the bundesliga, I'm optimistic that will definitely put up a better performance at the UCL after this international break were they will get to have enough rest, then we will understand Dortmund isn't a match.

Good thing I'm not also fond of using my credit card every time I gamble. I don't like it's high transaction fees especially that it never guarantees me to win. So I always chose to pay in cash, an amount that I can easily afford to lose. However, for me it's not using credit card that actually fuels gambling addiction but it's always the attitude of the gambler itself. If he gambles without seeing a budget limit and just decide to gamble whenever he wants to, definitely he will really fall into gambling addiction. And for those who gamble thinking that casinos are providing them source of living, then it's always possible that these gamblers will end up having gambling addiction.
The attitude of the gambler is primary as it concerns what fuels their gambling habit,, someone who has an unhealthy attitude for gambling will continue and gamble more with or without their credit cards. Credit card fueling gambling attitude is mostly seen in people who gamble on their smart devices from the comfort of their homes or space.

Most offline gambling spots or houses deals mostly with cash so credit card gambling isn't mot often found amongst them, most times people saving their card details on the site so as to avoid entering their details repeatedly is one factor that fuels the attitude subconsciously without their notice in most cases. It's advised to avoid this don't fund using your credit card as it can aswell be exposed to phishing especially when the payment window isn't secured enough.

I don't know what is more shameful - how Ajax is playing or how their fans is behaving. 0:3 after 45 minutes and soon in 2nd half fans started throwing flares into pitch. As I understand, game is abandoned and won't be resumed.

It's not just about Ajax, but in general, similar things happens in almost every big game involved by Ajax, Feyenoord, PSV or Twente. What's wrong with this league? I hope that league finally will take serious actions because such things can't continue.

I dont want to be that annoying guy who said " I said it" , but if anyone relook the thread i said in the beginning of the season this Ajax not start well and also can be very bad if they dont wake up fast, but asides of that thinking i dont expect this bad, they have a very good team in names, i dont really kinow what its happen.
Ajax is now so poor with their performance as compared to their form last season, this season they have recorded one of the worse of their performance, they conceed goals so much that is almost frequent with all their matches in recent times, they struggle to win matches unlike last season where they had steaks of winnings back to back.

Their fans on the other hand are becoming more aggressive than they used to be, probably because they are not used to so much defeat coming at them serially, this season they have recorded two or more games been abandoned due to the reaction of the fans after some minutes into losses and they feel there's no hope for a comeback and of course the players play in a style that doesn't seem as if they could possibly get a comeback. The decline in ajax is jus so bad I just hope they don't get relegated or sanctioned before the season ends because the players are underperforming and the fans are worse with coordinating themselves especially when suffering a loss.

Man i hate so much the international break, i love to have midweek with european competition or at least games league or national cups, but international break destroy all the good things.

The only good thing is in the next round we can start to see which teams are gonna pass to next round and who is gonna fight until last round.
International breaks bore me a lot as the weekends becomes boring same as the midweek, we have nothing to look forward to , nothing to relax our nerves with and probably go in to some ecstasy of anticipations with so much euphoria coming from our various favourite teams, but then it wouldn't be long after all it's just a weekend.

After this break so much more will be expected of teams and players as it will be assumed they have gotten rest enough to bring back the actions to the pitch and give out the best of performance, they will not be fatigue prone for a while because they must have had some rest enough to take care of their chances of been fatigued in any form.

Most coaches is expected to be using this time to work o their strategies to improve them or better still get a new one which will work better than that which they have been use to before the break. I honestly can't wait for this break to come to an end already as my anticipation are already growing high as regards the quality of performance she should expect after now.

As you may have observed, when one family member is really into gambling, the whole family suffers. A single person sinking means the ship is taking on water.

Discussing control now. It goes beyond "Can I stop when I want to?" Much deeper. Can they tell when enough is enough? Do they realize their actions hurt loved ones? They and the community must watch out and speak up.

Some people dont realize they're in trouble until its too late. They keep going in and out, unsure of stopping, as you noted. Is it willpower alone? Is there a deeper issue we're missing?
Yes, that's right, and the family will experience big problems in their lives, such as lots of debt, divorce, and children being left alone because of lack of attention from their parents.
Someone will stop gambling when they have experienced destruction in their life as I said above, and they will reflect on their fate after they realize that they made a big mistake and caused the people around them to also suffer the impact.
Yes, someone who is still in and out of gambling, I don't think he has experienced anything bad, so he will do it continuously until he wakes up, and this is still a mystery that should not be missed because each individual has their own. confidence in determining what is good. in his life.

Better to say that most of them are still in that denial stage where even they already losses a lot they keep pushing and trying to continue playing, I think just like what you mentioned, people who thinks that they are okay continue to engage without realizing that they also harming people that surround them and they unaware that since they are to continue playing and losing those people will continue to suffer with the outcome that most of the time it's negative for the person and the surrounding people.

This denial even cause them more harm than good as they become adamant and not willing to receive help and before they ever come to the realization of needing help, they may have gone to far to be redeemed and helping them becomes more difficult at this point because they will still feel they still have control and do not necessarily need help.

It's important to never allow ourselves get to the point we begin to think we are just good enough and need no help, whenever it's becoming ams issues than an entertainment as it should be, it's most ideal to stop or take a break so we can give ourselves time enough to recover and bounce back even stronger this way you can curb any form of addiction that would have gradually crept in.

Gambling addiction shouldn't be taken for granted as the effects could be so terrible that one could loose things that are so dare to them as a result. As always advised, gamble responsibly as it's the only escape from getting too addicted and loosing so much to gambling.

what should we do if we have lost a lot of money on gambling? Do we keep gambling to win so we can cover up previous losses? or stop and work normally and leave gambling? Or do you have other suggestions?
Having losses and continuously playing for the reason you want to recover your money are certainly not right and we all know that. However many gamblers can't refrain themselves, that's a fact. Well, some of us are still playing despite of losses but still able to play in moderation. Why? Because our main desire is to have fun.

But this is not the case if your intention (that's why you're playing) is to double your money. Just quit, that's the right thing to do for gamblers who are looking for profit. Find a decent job and forget about gambling because instead of gaining you'll only lose your money if you have no discipline.
This is one of the best suggestions, pursuing your losses also known as playing to recover will only make you loose even more because you may end up gambling recklessly and very irresponsibly because you think by that way you will quickly recover from your losses, but sadly you may never recover those losses it's in your best interest not to chase losses.

Whenever ever you are loosing so much to the casino the best thing you should do is take a break. It's very important to know that gambling is an expensive entertainment, as such it's not ment for all, even if they allow for very minimal stake so all may have a feel of the entertainment it still doesn't make it suit for it's for those who have some level of sustainability and have got a job on the side.

It's a kind of entertainment that can fetch you some extra funds but that's not guarantee all the time. Those who don't have a means of sustainability are mostly adviced  to stay away from gambling as it's not a job opportunity, go get a decent job and when you stand fit for that level of entertainment then you can come get yourself entertained and not seeing it as a means of earning a living.
