Of the options that they have available right now, I think Harry Kane is going to be the best one among them. Of course, it does not have to be Harry Kane. But we all know that Harry Kane is very hungry for titles right now. And this could be the right move made by both the team and the player. Because Bayern Munich is going to be very determined to hold onto the Bundesliga title, which was actually hard-earned by them. I also believe that the next season is going to be a little harder for Bayern Munich. Other clubs are getting stronger. I personally believe that Harry Kane is going to be the best option for them right now.

Well yes, Harry Kane would be top of the list for sure, its just that Bayern can consider someone effective on less price as well. Bayern need some reinforcements and right now they are interested in Kim Min-Jae as well where they will trigger the release clause, they might need a replacement for Lucas Hernandez as well who is moving to PSG and they also need a striker since last year. Kane is the best option but the question for Bayern is if he is worth according to 100m Euro tag considering they have to buy further players as well in the transfer market.

In the last week, I have stopped following Bayern and Harry Kane. but somehow my feeling seems to say that Bayern will get Kane, even though there are a few negotiations that will be tough. at least, Bayern will try to get what the team needed all along. Harry Kane is the ideal candidate to fill the void left by Lewandowski. so, let's just wait for the drama of Levy and Bayern Munich. but if Bayern fail to get Kane, I'm pretty sure Bayern have other options. at least, currently Bayern are waiting to see if anyone is bidding on Kane apart from Munich. it seems, their only competitor is United. while United, do not have the funds to bring in. ideally instead of losing out on letting Kane go as a free agent next season, Levy should let him go.

As for Kim Min-Jae, Bayern's next step is to pay the release clause. but that doesn't end there, Bayern will bring in several other players as competitors. so let's wait and see which players Bayern Munich will bring to the Allianz Arena in this summer's transfer window.

De gea's contract has been running out but MU has not yet removed his name from the club. The talk between intermilan and manchester unted have not yet happened. This can be a big problem for manchester united if the club won't sign onana as soon as possible.
I remember that de gea has been rumored to get a new contract from manchester united but it's likely he is not interesting anymore to take it as MU has been deceiving him by decreasing his salary in the new contract.
De gea may able to get a new club as soon as possible. His journey with manchester united finally come to its end. De gea has become one of important part from manchester united for so many years.
It's now for onana to replace him as a keeper in manchester united. GBU de gea. Good luck in your new team.

Manchester United are in a very difficult situation for them. because the Ten Hag had to weigh every decision they would make. because, they only have a limited amount of funds to spend on players in the transfer market this summer. Well, I don't know how far United's acquisition process has reached. but if it's done quicker, at least it's better. because, you can be sure that Ten Hag will get funds to buy the players he wants. As for De Gea, the performance of United's No.1 goalkeeper sometimes goes ups and downs, especially in crucial matches. at this time, Ten Hag wanted Onana as United's goalkeeper. unfortunately, Inter has a fairly high price tag. and it doesn't mean that Onana is better than De Gea, in fact I see it from the other side.

IMO, Ten Hag wants the Build Up attack to start from the goalkeeper. and Onana, fulfilling the criteria with the system run by Ten Hag. after all, Onana is a former Ajax player. Quoting Romano, Inter claim there was no official offer on Friday but Inter and United are in touch regarding Onana's deal. well, United will have additional funds from the sale of some of its players. unfortunately, the sales results will not be that big on them. except, if United offer him to the Saudi Club. by the way, at least Ten Hag needs 4 or 5 newcomers.

Half of the rich people keep continue to swim in fame and wealth because of their occupied landed properties. If you own a land, housing estate you can be sure living great but this wealth are mostly control by political leaders and BD individuals......if you're blessed enough begins to occupy property's that can sure your next generation... In my country Nigeria if you don't have any of this properties forget yourself, you will end up making life mortgage and tenancy. Land never depreciates it keeps buying higher that's why I considered it the best investment. What do you think?

The trend that is happening to urbanites today is property investment, especially if it weren't for word of mouth about the benefits that can be obtained when investing in land, houses or apartments. Even though it looks easy to do, property investment is not cheap. in order to get the welfare of life, we need financially large enough. in fact, to get it we have to work hard all our lives. even then, not everyone can do it. only those who are lucky can invest in property, but with the condition that the gap in their standard of living falls into the category of affluent and even wealthy. to buy a plot of land in urban areas, is a very fantastic price. so, it is not easy to get involved in this investment.

On the other hand, investing or buying property can be a business that brings in coffers of money. however, it can also be full of challenges and risks. the successful results and losses that we get actually depend on the choice of property or residential assets purchased. buying a residential investment without understanding what drives growth and returns is very dangerous. there are many factors to consider, before we get involved in this investment. the point is, any investment that we will run. The first thing we need to know is to know exactly what field we are going to be in.  plus, financial readiness.
3224  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which League Makes Sports Betting Easy to Win? on: June 30, 2023, 10:29:07 PM
In all honesty, no league is simple to forecast when you are betting. I have tried practically every league, but none of the leagues were so simple to win bet with.But if we were to compare them, I would be able to claim that the leagues we frequently watch should be simpler to forecast than others, and bets placed on them should have a higher chance of winning than those placed on leagues we don't frequently watch. This is because we can easily get analyses of the leagues we frequently watch easy than other we don't watch.

The reason I said this is because I never find it easy to bet on games in other leagues because I don't know much about them, but in leagues I follow, like those you listed above, their analysis is always simple because I always watch their games, and their predictions are rarely no challenging but because of their eagerness to pick many of games in order to win a sizable sum that make even leagues we often watch not easy to win their games.

In other words, you say bet on the League which we know and understand very well. that way, we can easily recognize it because we often watch it. and yes, we agree that something we understand well, it will be easier for us to research and analyze. roughly, ideally like that. but in fact, it should be like that. whatever the league, if we are not very familiar, it is very likely that what we are doing will go wrong. although instead, we can easily get data and statistics for a team, club or league, in essence if we don't really recognize them. the ratio of losing in the bet, the probability is very large. because, we only grope and read it through data and statistics. however, there are many other aspects that we know nothing about. for example, the strength of the team, who are the players with the most potential, what is their system, and what form of football are they carrying out.

In the end, we will be confused with something we do not know or even understand. as a result, we gamble with a pattern of trying our luck. so the point is that there are no sports bets that are easier to win, if we have no knowledge of the sport at all.
3225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Thought On Gambling Strategies on: June 30, 2023, 09:44:50 PM
I think people don't understand that there is no strategy in gambling. Gamble but consider your spendings on it as an entertainment expense. Got luck on your side and won? Good. If you don't you still had fun.

There is definitely strategy involved with some forms of gambling, but many people get confused or overestimate their abilities to judge odds in the right way. If you're in a game like poker it's possible to make educated guesses at whether you are the current winner of the hand or if you have absolutely nothing going in your favor. If you are into sports betting and have a very sophisticated setup you might even be able to calculate, over a long enough time period, ways that you can pick better winning outcomes than the bookmakers - with a hell of a lot of statistical analysis to confirm the outcomes. Even blackjack has the usually legal card counting method which can win, but is hard to pull off and will tend to get you barred from casinos.

In gambling, all gamblers have assumptions and the way they evaluate gambling itself. some people believe, that there is no strategy in gambling. some others think, that pure gambling is a matter of luck, some others like you and me have the same conceptual thinking. it's just that, I'd rather say method than strategy. in essence, everything is legal and there is nothing wrong in their respective judgments about gambling.

Well, referring to what you said. we agree, many people are confused or overestimate their ability to judge opportunities the right way. even in the game of poker, there is such a thing as a technique. technique in the game of poker, can be considered a strategy and there is nothing wrong with that. which in essence, every poker player has a way to beat his opponents.
For BlackJack, there is a card counting method called. and to be honest, I don't understand this method at all. because, I don't really like to play this type of game, maybe it's just for fun.
For sports, it is clear that to bet in this gamble. a gambler, at least must have the basics of knowledge of the sport itself. because to minimize defeat, we will involve many factors. I tend to call it a method, and it involves a lot of things. There are at least three points that must be known and possessed by gamblers who like this type of sports betting namely, knowledge, broad insight and experience.

Well, the point is whatever the community says in this discussion, there is no real justification. we have various assumptions, depending on how we describe gambling itself.
3226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: June 30, 2023, 09:11:43 PM
People who play gambling and lose, big or small, will feel sorry for gambling. But that doesn't make some of them stop because they think it is temporary and they can win and recover their losses tomorrow. It is the wrong decision if they decide to return to gambling another day because that also does not guarantee they can get win. And the people who manage to break out of that circle should feel good that they have finally avoided the destruction that could have happened to their lives. And you are one of those people who are still lucky to be able to leave gambling before gambling destroys you.
Some people get used to it, I mean they will get used to being lose at everything and then still gamble because they are already addicted to it, they will not feel nothing anymore because they used to it and they will do everything just to satisfy their needs and the things that they wanted. They will continue to play even though they don't have anything in their pocket.

Well, don't we already know that gambling contains risks in it. so, losing is a condition that becomes a risk and will be experienced by everyone who makes a bet and winning is where the condition of the gambler gets from his betting session. the point is, winning and losing is part of gambling. so, aren't we used to that kind of thing. in gambling, where luck or victory is an expensive price that is quite difficult for us to get in each gambling session.

Logically, if all gamblers had 80% winnings, then no one would be willing to become bookies. or we can say, every casino will suffer a big loss. for me personally, losing is a natural thing in gambling. but to avoid defeat, we can use what we have. I mean, not that we gamble to lose. therefore, we must use such means or methods. at least, that's ideally rather than blindly gambling. because I mostly bet on football, there are several ways to minimize losses. in a way, involving extensive knowledge, experience and insight. that way, we have a pretty even chance to win.

But yeah, we agree with what you said. for most cases who become gambling addicts, usually they will do everything they can just to fulfill their desire for satisfaction, even though each session ends in defeat. Some compulsive gamblers, usually don't think rationally, even when they don't have any money in their pocket, they will try to get it. in cases like this, they sometimes regret what they have spent at the gambling table. but will come back again, when they have money in their pocket. yep, I hope you, me, we are not that type of gambler.
3227  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stop gambling (sports betting, casino e.t.c)? on: June 30, 2023, 08:37:48 PM
Stopping gambling is really a battle you fight against yourself, and can you think it would be very easy to stop? Since you're in control of yourself then you need more than a 3rd party to win this fight. Need someone to monitor your movement if possible every activities you engage yourself in day in day out. It can be embarrassing but it had to be done with so much determination if not that goal {stopping gambling} can't be achieved.
Well, stopping gambling addiction only takes the help of God to make someone to stick to his or her word to stop it. But look at it on the brighter side gambling addiction can lead to something positive, don't you think?

Right, we agree with what you say. to break a habit of excess is a battle against oneself. in this context, is to stop gambling. we are well aware, even to do it seems difficult to do. While some gamblers need help, others may just need a diversion to a new hobby. basically, we cannot generalize every case. I think everything comes back to each individual, no matter how strictly my movements are monitored by those closest to me. whenever there is a chance, we will try to do it even in secret.

The point is "intention" with the intention to stop, we need "determination" to synergize with what we want to change. it's not easy indeed, there are some gamblers who need help, encouragement, motivation, and all kinds of things. some others, can do it alone armed with full awareness. well, in this case I don't want to bring up the name of God as a mediator. the most important thing is, how does one realize the bad effects of something that is excessive. if, I just do it for fun and gamble only once a week, or maybe when I want to just have fun. thus, everything is fine as long as I have certain boundaries.

Well, referring to your thread, the essence is that everything depends on the gambler himself. for, we have power over ourselves. if you want to stop, then do it with intention and determination. but if you want to enjoy it, have fun within certain limits.

Well it took Guardiola quite some many years to be able to win the Champions League despite he having one of the best teams in the world when it comes to great players,he always had great names but it took him several years in order to harmonize this team even in European competitions so all kudos to him,for me though any other coach would have won at least once the Champions League with these players in his disposal,just my opinion.I do believe Guardiola to be one of the best coaches out there but I think it took him a lot of time to win a Champions League trophy with all these great players,nevertheless the Champions are never judged so let's see the next upcoming season.

I see it more, that the Champions League does not only require the depth of the squad that has the possession of a club that participates in competition. City, in the last few seasons, has always been the favorite team. because after all, they have quite a depth of players. plus, a coach whose capacity is not to be doubted.
IMO, unfortunately in this competition luck plays an important role for each contestant. also, mental as a champion. therefore, Madrid has proven to have that mentality the most. City, slipped not because their game was bad. however, more on non-technical factors such as luck that was not on their side. as for the failures that happened to them before, whether it was because one of the players was underperforming or other factors.

Likewise Inter, they are not even included in the favorite team.  however, luck was very big on them and got to the final round, regardless of the performance of the players during their matches in the Champions League.

Well, next season. City remains the favorite again as one of the strong candidates. yep, they have player depth. plus, awesome coach. the system that Pep is implementing at the moment, makes the City squad seem to be a team that is quite feared by their opponents. it's just, will they still be lucky and defend their title in the next season. the answer is, we don't know. let's just wait, how this League has been rolled back and we will know the description of the team that will advance phase by phase and become a finalist.
By the way, as an Arsenal fan, I really hope that the Gunners are able to give a surprise even though the chance they have is not as big as City, or other top teams.

In the same day, you read a news about Bayern Munich chasing Harry Kane and about Bayern dropping the efforts of recruiting him in favour of Osimhen!
The price between the two are very different since Napoli will not sell Osimhen for less than €140m as far as I am aware of. I doubt Bayern Munich will pay that money and probably they will try to chase someone else or return to Kane?
Kane drama every season will not finish soon apparently since Spurs are the main directors..

I still believe that Bayern will make efforts to bring Kane to the Allianz Arena. maybe, Bayern's management is preparing for the next offer as negotiating material to smooth out their plans. The reason is, after all, Bayern are well aware that Kane only has one season left with Spurs. which means that if Spurs don't relinquish the sticker to Bayern, then they must be ready to let the player go as a free agent in the following season.
Previously, as we know, Kane refused to renew his contract with Spurs. now, it is only a matter of agreement between Bayern and Tottenham. it is possible that if Bayern want to increase the value of their bid a little, Levy will soften a little and let go of one of his star players.

As for Osimhen, if only Osimhen joined Bayern. I'm not sure if this player can adapt quickly with the Bavarian squad. after all, Osimhen's price is very relatively expensive and far from the price to bring in Kane. so we agree with this one, that Bayern will not want to spend over £ 100 million on just one player. that's why negotiations between Bayern and Spurs will be tough. However, let's follow every development and what plans Tuchel will do if they fail to bring Kane. interesting, for us to follow.

Mbappe can be a worthy replacement for Karim Benzema. I think even Mbappe can perform better than Benzema with Madrid. However, it is completely uncertain whether Mbappe will join Real Madrid. Moreover, Joselu has been recruited by Madrid management. On the other hand, Liverpool are interested in spending 300 million for Mbappe. The chances of seeing Mbappe with Real Madrid are diminishing by the day. Mbappe has disappointed Madrid fans in each of the past seasons.

Maybe, Mbappe can become Karim Benzema's successor. because Mbappe meets the requirements and capacities he has with the talent and skills he has. However, I don't agree that we have to compare if Mbappe can be better than Benzema with Madrid. because these two players have different flying hours and ages. Benzema, is one of the players who contributed greatly.
now for Mbappe, he has not proven that he can bring Madrid to win many trophies in various competitions. because how can we find out, after all, Mbappe's status is still part of PSG.

As for Joselu, I don't want to speculate too much about this player. but at least, Don Carlo really knows what he is doing. So, let's just follow how Real Madrid progresses in recruiting newcomers. for Liverpool, I heard rumors that they are interested in signing Mbappe for a fantastic fee. but to be honest, I didn't really respond to the rumours. in fact, there is a high possibility that the report is a rumor that is not true.
3231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: June 30, 2023, 06:15:42 PM
There are two bad news come for saudi pro league. All of this news is coming from al hilal. Lukaku has been officially rejecting 45 millions pounds offer from al hilal while at the same time jose mourinho was rejecting al hilal too.
These are very bad for al hilal. Al hilal faces so many difficulties in recruiting the new players after messi has been rejecting the club's offer. Lukaku was doing a stupid thing by rejecting it.

The same offer will not come again for twice. He may also be a useless player in intermilan next season. His performance was always up and down.
Chelsea shall sell him asap to the intermilan.

There is also another option if chelsea may keep him for next season. Rejecting al hilal's offer was very bad. Al Hilal needs to put more efforts in targeting new player from european league.

Al Hilal, is a top-flight club that has always dominated the Saudi Pro League competition before this club was acquired by PIF. in the 2022/2023 season, Al Hilal experienced a decline in performance after they dominated the trophy for three consecutive seasons.

I don't know what caused their decline, it could be because they have a very busy schedule. or maybe it could be because other clubs are experiencing increased performance such as Al ittihad, Al Shabab and Al Nassr who are coming Ronaldo. but in the end, Al Ittihad was able to break Al Hilal's dominance. after the competition, Al Hilal tried to bring Messi to Saudi with the highest salary offer and even beat Ronaldo's salary. Unfortunately, Messi prefers MLS to joining other top European players in this competition. even so, it doesn't matter if in the end Messi rejects Al Hilal's offer even for Lukaku. after all, they can bring in other players who are no less great than Lukaku. it's just that, we don't know which players they will be targeting instead.

Speaking of Mourinho, I'm not really sure if he would be willing to coach any club in the Saudi league. Likewise with Al Hilal, who actually doesn't match the style and philosophy of the game that the club stretches. Even if Al Hilal doesn't bring in Europe's top players, they still have players whose capacity is not inferior to other teams. the difference is, they don't have top european stars. yes, at least for now. but one thing for sure, I believe they are drafting a proposal to target some other names instead. so, let's just follow every development.

Arsenal was so crazy during summer transfer season. Havertz, rice, and the next is jurrien timber has been secured from ajax with big fees. It will be really disappointed if arsenal will be trophyless again next season.
Arsenal has been spending so much money during summer transfer season. I never saw this before from arsenal.
The came of kroenke has been changing everything in the club include the strategy used by the club. Arsenal is now avoiding to buy, develop and then sell the players.

I just saw a new face from arsenal as a club that is also spending a lot of money to fulfill ambition to win trophy next season.
The last season was very disappointed caused by arsenal become trophyless again.


It seems, Arteta is rebuilding the Gunners back to where it was in its glory. I remember very well, the last time they won this competition under Arsene Wenger. at that time, Arsenal was filled with a squad that was almost evenly distributed in almost every position. There are two players who are my favorite, namely, Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry when they were young.

Now, Arteta is building Arsenal's strength which looks like they are in a serious bid to compete for trophies. yes, at least, a Premier League trophy. because for the Champions League, it seems they still need very solid mentality and discipline. in the transfer window this summer, Arsenal have poured out very large funds. In fact, to get the services of a player, namely Declan Rice, Arsenal are willing to spend quite a lot of money. and, several players that Arteta signed before Rice were Havertz. the purchase of this one, reaping big questions among football lovers. It's only natural, because Havertz hasn't shown great performance this season either in league competition or at the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Jurrien Timber, is a young defender who plays for Ajax. apparently, Arteta will deepen his defensive squad. the bids have been made and it looks like the negotiations have entered their final stages, as Romano quotes. that way, Arsenal have additional ammunition to welcome the new season.
I hope, they will be much better than last season.
3233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: June 30, 2023, 04:09:33 PM
Looking at this Arsenal squad, honestly I think that are good enough to challenge with their current squad (provided they do not discard Thomas Partey). Squad rotation, game management, Mentality & tactical flexibility are the key aspects that should be improved going into the season as I see excuses of injuries being their major setback last season. They came to winning the title and I’m seeing them going again this season. I wish them a successful season.

Arsenal must think about how to get a replacement player with the same quality of play. or the coach has to be careful to rotate players otherwise they will get tired and end up very easy to get injured.
Arsenal players at the end of the season actually lost their focus and several suffered injuries although not confirmed to be fatal injuries. but they felt a very big loss because they lost their momentum to get the trophy last season. and now they must prepare not to repeat it.

As a supporter of the Gunners, I hope this time they can win the League trophy. last season, they failed even though the opportunity was very close. which in the end, the mentality of the young Gunners players shake towards the end of the competition. as a result, City returned to shift the top of the standings. plus won the treble winner.

In the 2023/2024 season, the league competition will be even tighter and more competitive. because, Liverpool is also improving to restore its performance as a top team. so even with Chelsea, they will be rebuilding strength under Pochettino's tutelage. not to be outdone, Newcastle will participate in the competition on the top of the Premier League. conversely, United will always be in competition with a deeper squad. City, as the winner of this competition title, will not allow other teams to compete with them. that's why, Pep is targeting some of the players they will bring in.

Thus, Arsenal's struggles next season will not be as smooth as during the 2022/2023 season. that's why Arteta deepened his squad by bringing in several newcomers. in fact, Arsenal showed a different side this season. they dare to disburse big funds, with higher targets. at least next season Arsenal will certainly be stronger than last season, both the first team and the second tier players. to be honest, I can't wait for the new season's competition to be rolled out again.

Finally Luis Henrique reach agreement become PSG manager with two years contract duration, its good choose for PSG regarding how Luis Henrique experienced success won Champion League tittle when becoming Barcelona manager. PSG can star rebuilding new formation next season actually after leaving by Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos.

PSG sacked Cristophe Galtier after winning Ligue 1 tittle but failed in Champion Leagure and French Cup, right or not decision from PSG management choose Luis Henrique for filling PSG manager next season?

At least, this time PSG has been right to bring in a new coach. moreover, who once led a club to win the Champions League trophy. yep, Enrique is a coach who has a track record that no longer needs to be doubted about his capacity. we know how he brought Barcelona to a treble winner. so, it would not be wrong if PSG brought Luis Enrique to the Parc de Princes as a new coach. I'm pretty sure, under Enrique PSG can perform better. whether it's in Ligue 1, or in the Champions League. yes, at least Enrique knows very well the task and burden he carries to bring PSG to achieve what they dream of club management.

IMO, now the problem is with the strength of the available players. as we know, Mbappe's status at PSG is still a polemic. if the club is still aiming for the Champions League trophy, Enrique must quickly get involved in the signing of the players he needs for his new squad. the point is, Enrique needs the players he needs because fighting for the Champions League trophy next season is not easy. even though Enrique once brought Barcelona to win the trophy, that doesn't mean the coach doesn't need the players he wants. therefore, to make it happen Luis Enriqeu needs a solid team with an even depth of players.
well, let's just follow what Luis Enrique will do with his new team.
3235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino on a cruise ship? on: June 29, 2023, 10:35:36 PM
Has anyone here had the opportunity to try out the casino on a cruise ship? I've heard many stories about them, and I'm curious to learn about the similarities and differences compared to land-based casinos. I'm particularly interested in hearing from someone who has firsthand experience playing in a cruise ship casino.

Specifically, I would like to know:

Operating Hours: Do cruise ship casinos operate 24/7 like their land-based counterparts?
Payouts: Are the payout rates comparable to land-based casinos?
Betting Limits: What are the minimum betting limits? I know that some land-based casinos start at $20.
Game Variety: Can I find the same range of games offered in land-based casinos on cruise ships?

To be honest I want to try a vacation on a cruise ship, unfortunately besides the cost is very expensive. even for the most standard class, it's still very expensive for me personally. and, even though I was saving up to try a cruise vacation. it seems, something that is difficult for me to do with my work activities and routine. so, this type of vacation is not ideal for me personally.
Well, it's not just the holiday and entertainment facilities that they present and serve for their customers, this entertainment also provides privileges. I also often hear some friends who have vacationed on cruise ships, there are many kinds of stories that make me a little jealous to feel them.

However since our discussion is about casinos and gambling, to be honest I haven't experienced that at all. but based on the information I got from my colleagues. Casinos on cruise ships, are not much different from land casinos. at least, they describe it that way. Of course, because this type of entertainment is exclusive, those who gamble there are dominated by most people who have abundant finances. at least, there are unique features and facilities that are more special than land casinos in general. that is, someone who gambles there is usually a rich person, although this does not always have to be the case.

But whatever it is, crypto casino is the ideal and most practical choice wherever we are and when we want to play it. in fact, we could play for a low bankroll and very affordably. at least, in my eyes, crypto casinos are friendlier than casinos with special and exclusive features. most importantly, the casino that is our favorite also has a reputation and credibility that can be trusted.

This poll is purely for fun, I would like to hear your opinion on the best gambling games out there, and I wonder which games are the most popular in our community. I am sure there are numerous less-known gambling games played around the world,  so if you choose "Other," please specify the game in the comments section below, and I will add it to the poll.

Let's vote and see which games we find most exciting, entertaining, or rewarding. Smiley

Actually of all the lists that you made voting, I also played some of them. just me, i tend to bet football. the reason is very simple, because I really like this type of sport. when I was little, I often did it with my friends until I was an adult, still playing soccer. but now, due to age and busy activities to meet my needs, I prioritize work more.
well, I was quite surprised, if the vote that chose roulette was only 2%. In fact, this type of game was very trendy in its era. slots, dice, is another option that I prefer and based on votes while, it's still 16% and 19%, but looks like the percentage will increase again in the next few days.

Well, IMO, from a gambling session that quickly drains money or makes a lot of money is Baccarat. To be honest when I play this game, it's hard for me to stop the game session. especially, if my condition is in the winning phase. in this position, sometimes our greed is tested to generate more profits. but unfortunately, often in the end I run out of capital. but if luck is on our side, we can win a betting session with a large amount in a short time. well, that's more or less the kind of gambling that I like from the list that you made as a vote in this thread.

I prefer to bet before the game hasn't started yet because I will have a lot time to think and analysis which one will win than just bet on live game where you're need to beat your emotion and adrenaline at that moment. Bet before the game hasn't started will give you more confidence about your decision and you will not regret if you're bet on wrong team or fighter. But bet on live game you has a high chance to bet on wrong team or fighter and you might blame yourself for taking too quick decision.

Well, we agree with what you said, betting before the match is held makes us more confident after going through a series of research and analysis. sometimes even, I personally always re-select whether what I choose is in accordance with the results of the analysis. however, I'm more inclined to bet when the match is about to start, for example in the next hour or two. where I have to make sure that there are no changes that have been my consideration and research. I mean, both from the system, formation, line-up of players and all things related to it. if everything goes according to the scenario, I can make the choice with confidence.

It's different when I'm going to bet for multibet options, or we often say parlay options. usually, I'll do six hours of research before the fight starts. because, there are several teams that I will analyze and it takes up quite a bit of my time to research them.
For the option to bet on live games, it's also quite fun because there is an adrenaline rush when we are about to make a choice. unfortunately, in this option, we often get stuck because we instantly analyze it. apart from all that, in essence it is the same that we want to win from the team we are betting on.

Most slot machines have a jackpot that gamblers who prefer to gamble based on luck are chasing. As we all know from real-life stories, the jackpot has nothing to do with the number of spins or hours of play at the slot machine. There have been cases where the jackpot has been hit on 2 or 3 spins, so the likelihood of the jackpot being hit is entirely dependent on luck. Small winnings are designed to keep the player in the casino, so they are managed by an algorithm that works on the principle of RTP.

Based on my experience, winning the jackpot usually doesn't take long. usually, in one spin or up to 100 spins. when luck is on our side, it won't be long before we win the betting session of slot games. even though the actual wins we get vary, but when we are lucky, in a short time we achieve something we hope for, namely winning the jackpot. and I personally, quite often experience it.

On the contrary, playing with a long duration even takes hours. In most cases, the end result is that we lose the game session, although we don't rule out the possibility, we can also win if luck finally comes. for the second point, what you say is quite reasonable. that small wins are designed to keep players at home in the casino, and this system runs according to an algorithm that works on the RTP principle.
the point is, every gambler who likes slot games can be sure that they always hope to get the sensation of winning the Jackpot. but sometimes, we forget that sometimes there is a portion to play for fun and where it's time to stop the game session if the game doesn't go well.

I saw this online and thought maybe i should bring on to bitcointalk for discussion.

If a person gamble and at the end of the game he starts to feel remorse is that a good thing or should the person be on alert?
I believe that a gambler would feel really bad and regretful if they lack self control such as when they exceed their limit of gambling budget and end up losing much more than anticipated. It's quite depressing when this realization hits imo

Moreover losing a big amount of money on gambling can lead to regret when you encounter something interesting in real life that you would like to buy, or when you come across a good service you'd like to try but lack the funds for it. If you had saved the money you spent on gambling you would have been able to afford those things. This can be truly regrettable at times. However, for me at least I accept it as it is. I don't mind much since I always put some rules for myself when it comes to gambling and I adhere to them to avoid feeling remorse later on.

I believe and really believe that many of us have experienced disappointment and regret after gambling sessions. there are various factors behind it, whether it's regret for not withdrawing the winning money which in the end loses all of our balances because we are too busy playing. either because someone regrets because the money he is betting is the money he is borrowing and is actually for other needs. and many other reasons, which in the end make us regret after the betting session we did.

The point is, this experience is a common experience among gamblers. in fact, it didn't happen just once. apart from that, gamblers who have good control are also accompanied by experience. not infrequently, they get carried away according to circumstances which in the end regret their gambling.
So, like I said, this problem is a common problem and can happen to anyone, including pro gamblers. because psychologically, sometimes our conditions and emotions get disturbed where in the end we lose full control over ourselves which has an impact when we do gambling sessions.

Especially as you said, where a gambler loses big money during his betting session. the feeling of regret comes because it is actually possible that the money could be used to pay for other needs. the point is, gamble as much as we can afford to lose which is when we experience defeat, we will not get high pressure which ends in regret. make gambling fun, if you lose today, stop for a moment and be able to come back another day.

I bet once in a while on underdogs in football and one of the game surprised me because the odd was very big and I decided to just give it trial and to my greatest surprise,it brought a win for me. You know as humans,when something works for you,you will think that it was your instinct or a good strategy that you have discovered. After that day I started betting in underdogs but I lost. I later went back to my normal way of betting,sometimes I still try my luck on underdogs because if you manage to win,you will be having a good profit. If you are gambling for fun then it wouldn't be a problem to bet on underdogs just for fun.
You are very right, underdog are a great way to make some good profit if the gambler is lucky to win a bet on them, as the chances of them winning are always very low, that pushes the odds high which brings about good profit they find their way to win.

Last time I had an experience of betting on underdogs and winning was during 2022 world cup, I am no longer sure the particular team, but I think it should be Morocco and poland, many never expected Morocco to beat poland, I myself didn't believe it would happen, I just decided to try out my luck since several bets was already on poland wining, and the money wasn't as much so I was ready to lose it, so I took my chances on Morocco, and to my greatest surprise, then won.

Ideally, betting on the underdog with a first half match option. with the scenario, the team that is not in the seed score first. but this option, the risk is very vulnerable because the time is only in one first round. another alternative, we can choose the underdog team when the favorite team is not showing impressive performance. in fact, tend to play mediocre. I can take an example, during the Japan vs Germany match at the Qatar world cup.

If I'm not mistaken, the Japanese team has odds with @16.00. well, if we have analyzed before this match, Germany played its match not like a big team attached to their big name. Based on this anyway, we already have points for further consideration. on the other hand, Japan is not a superior team. but the fact is, they have an excellent game with spartan and tireless. this option, can be considered for betting on teams that are not superior. so, it's not easy to choose to bet on a team that is not at all superior even only has a very small probability of winning, there are also other matches such as Morocco vs Portugal.

The point is, however, that we don't necessarily choose the underdog team without calculations and involving research. that means, we shouldn't bet blindly without first investigating the potential of a team that is not superior. therefore, in football, we must involve extensive knowledge, skills and insights. plus, sharp instincts in a way involving experience. If I may say, it's not uncommon for me to win bets on Underdog teams. but once again I say, all of that always involves many factors and research.
