There are reports that Bayern Munich have submitted an official offer of €70m+add ons  to Tottenham for Harry Kane as he is entering the final year of his Tottenham contract. Honestly I think Spurs shouldn't be selling Kane for more than €80M. They've extracted all the performances in the world from him, He's old, running out of contract & a youth product. I think its a win win for them, they'll have to replace Son & Kane later if they let things progress till next season.

As I read from The Athletic, Bayern Munich have made a written "formal" bid for Kane's contract, their bid being £70m plus odds-on for an unspecified sum. the base fee would equate to around £60 million, which seems low for a player of Kane's pedigree, but takes into account his age (he will turn 30 at the start of the new season) and contract status.
Well, Bayern have made the first concrete move for England's all-time leading goalscorer. their interest was boosted by former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel. I also read another report from Fabrizio Romano which said Bayern had made a formal bid for Harry Kane. fixed fee close to €70 million plus add-ons, not enough to convince Tottenham. formal proposal was rejected. Previously, I was sure that Spurs would not let their striker go for anything close to £100 million.
Despite the rumours, Kane is willing to leave in this summer's transfer window. To be honest, I don't know what Levy was thinking, and should be, Spurs let Kane go because Kane's contract will expire next season. so roughly, whether Bayern will make a follow-up bid.

Certainly an addict will always refuse whatever is given to him to diagnose if he is truly a gambling addict.
I'm not sure if gambling addicts are willing to do a test to find out their condition because they will always refuse on the grounds that their mentality and mind are already affected by their addiction so they don't take this addiction too seriously.
Gambling addicts can only be cured if they use forced methods to come to a psychology doctor to undergo examination and rehabilitation and after that maybe gambling addicts will understand a little about their addiction.

Using coercion may be the only way when nothing else can be done to persuade the addict to undergo testing, but the family must agree.
but more people will not think about whether they are being checked or not because everything seemed fine before the disaster came. There will be many negative impacts when the addict continues to live with his addiction, which will certainly have an impact on the environment he lives in. They will tend to be more aggressive and criminal thoughts to earn gambling money will be higher. Take action immediately when some danger threatens.

Imposing, is an effort that is not good. however, if it is the final step that must be taken to cure someone of their addiction. this step can be taken, but with the permission and agreement of his family. but what is certain, the main problem is not in steps, or coercion, even if taking him to rehab.
But the most important point is that the gambler has strong intentions and determination so that he can recover from his excessive gambling habit. if, he does not have the desire or determination and strong intentions. wherever he is taken for treatment, usually the results are not as expected, even after he returns from rehabilitation. situation, can make someone offended and according to the title of this thread. because, forcing a course of action on someone was an act that shouldn't be done even in this case for one's own good.

Well, precisely so that there are no misunderstandings and so that the addict is not offended. Persuasive efforts are the first step that must be done first. approach from the closest side, it is far more effective and try to bring it to the expert after he has a deeper understanding of gambling. this effort is made, so that someone does not take excessive actions especially those that lead to the things you say.

Manchester United have been on the rise since Erik ten Hag era started. The question is how consistent can they be next season? Hopefully thanks to the working system of him they should be able to stay solid. I'm imagining the Red Devils fighting for top 4 again in the worst case. The most important question is about whether they can do well in the Champions League.

They had better do so. Transfers will be crucial to help us have some ideas about it. I wonder what kind of a plan they have for the attacking line. Rashford to be the main striker and a winger transfer? Or maybe Rashford to stay on the wing and a striker transfer? The second one can be way better in my opinion.

I can not be sure, in accordance with what you expect. however, considering what Erik Ten Hag has done this season. supposedly, they can be much better than in the 2022/2023 season. however, depending on the players they will bring to Old Trafford.

The problem is, if I'm not mistaken, Manchester United is constrained by an undisbursed financial budget because the process of acquiring ownership of the club has not been completed until now. even though Ten Hag himself has publicly urged the club to immediately release a budget so that he can buy players to strengthen the team ahead of next season. I tried to find information regarding United's budget in this summer's transfer window, but I didn't get any news that could be confirmed as legit. So, let's just wait and see what Ten Hag will do in his hunt for players.

Well, purchasing players is an important part for Ten Hag to prepare his squad for next season. otherwise, United will find it difficult to remain consistent, let alone competitive. don't talk about the Champions League yet, even to be able to maintain their ranking in the top 4 of the Premier League will be hard for United if they fail to deepen the depth of their squad next season.
But if Ten Hag has the spending funds that match his expectations, I'm pretty sure Ten Hag will bring in the players he needs for the team and at the same time find the ideal target for a pure Striker. by the way, if United already have a centre-forward. automatically, Rashford's position will be shifted to the wing.

Barcelona to go for the Champions League title? I don't think so for now. Because they still have a long way to go before doing that. They have been really unsuccessful there for two years and I wouldn't expect them to fight seriously for the title all of a sudden. For this to happen Xavi just needs to try different things in his strategies in the first place. But I'm pretty confident that he wouldn't change his system in any tournament. But still this season ended well for them in the La Liga.

Maybe winning this title after a 3-year break can motivate them to play better in the Champions League as well. Their main target should be to qualify from their group in the CL.

I'm sure they will do as much as they can, at least they have to qualify from the group stage like you said. on the other hand, in the 2023/2024 season. supposedly, Barcelona's young players have developed much more with long minutes of playing time, they only need to develop their talents and mentality to be more solid. plus, the combination of youth and senior players will make their game more competitive.

To be honest, as I often say in several posts, the current Barcelona squad cannot be said to be solid. in fact, I'd say that Barcelona needs some newcomers who have the potential to add depth to the team. even then, if Barcelona wants to compete strictly in the Champions League competition. however, it's difficult if we remember that there are many tougher competitors in the Champions League competition. ideally, they have to give their best game in all competitions and still defend the League trophy.

One more thing, to be honest I don't really like Xavi's style and system. perhaps, he found many obstacles to implementing his system. therefore, there is much that Xavi has to correct. or maybe, Xavi does need more time to rebuild Barcelona. well, let's see what they will do, especially in recruiting players and the players they will release.

I know skill based gambling can turn the chance into big ones but I don't think it will be that easy even in football betting because some other teams are still very difficult to predict and our analysis could be wrong even if we use the skills we have, but there are no guarantees and don't get your hopes up beyond reason, because we already know it's still very difficult to make $100 from any investment if we make the wrong move, so don't be surprised that betting opportunities will be too far away for us to hope for.

Usually, if someone is targeting to get consistent wins especially per day. then what happens, is the opposite. moreover, if the gambling we play is purely based on luck. most likely, whatever money the OP has as he said in this thread will be drained away.

Well, now we're talking skill-based gambling. a few weeks ago, we found a gambler who made a thread, that he gambled for a period of time, until he made a very fantastic amount. if that is true, it means that it is not impossible for us to collect victory after victory from sports betting sessions, especially football.
unfortunately, in practice, in gambling even though it involves many factors, such as insight, analysis, research, and others. each result, determined after the match ended. I mean, we can't predict a win 100% with certainty. So, another factor is also involved, namely luck. although ideally, if we have extensive knowledge of the sport and the league itself. the chance that we have is big enough to win the bet. but the problem, is getting profits per day. and that, it is not easy even though we bet involves skill. as I said, there are other factors that allow us to lose the bet. so, it's hard to get consistent wins, let alone per day.
3266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there real sports bet groups on: June 26, 2023, 10:01:52 PM
To be honest, I don't have an answer according to what you are asking. however, actually we can see it, know it, then judge it. if you have ever been involved, and joined these groups. you just need to research, and conclude what happened in the group. basically, if there are suspicious symptoms such as asking for funds, providing price rates as information, you should leave the group. I do not recommend you to continue to be involved in it.

Well, the first point is the simplest logic to be your consideration so as not to act carelessly. if someone claims to be an expert in sports betting, or we can say that they are pundits. usually, they will share their knowledge from both the sports and betting side without forming groups like you said. they usually, will do it on channels like live streaming.
to be honest, i never followed and interested to join groups that offer as you said in this thread. because, usually there will be deviations. I have several references, just to find information related to the sport itself. I focus more on analysis, teams, players, systems and everything about the sport itself. that way, we ourselves will gradually have an understanding connected with betting. the point is, there is no strategy that is truly 100% accurate. even, in sports betting or football. during 90 minutes of normal running time, any outcome can happen.

I know that Barcelona is going to go for the Champions League title next season. I know it is not going to be easy. But I believe Barcelona will surely aim for that. Barcelona has already proved that they are good enough to win the La Liga title. Even in this financial situation.

So I think they are capable of doing better. I don’t know if they will be able to bring in players that are going to cost some actual money. Just like they did with Robert Lewandowski and some others. But I think they need to make a few changes if they actually want to realistically win the Champions League title. With this squad, it is going to be really hard to achieve that.

If, Barcelona players do not experience problems such as injuries and other problems. at least, with the players available for now. plus, Gundohan. at least, they can compete in the Champions League. although, to be honest this team still needs additional ammunition. also, Xavi has to be more creative in developing his squad especially their young players.
Xavi too, had to study their failures in the Champions League competition. I'm sure Barcelona will be quite competitive next season in both La Liga and the Champions League.

Now the problem is whether Barcelona will still bring in other players with the problems they are facing.
also, Xavi has a lot to learn at least from the way Pep is experimenting and how to position his players. important for Xavi as a coach, and not only rely on the quality of his players. but the tactics he uses, systems and strategies also need to be improved.
IMO, Barcelona has a pretty solid defense. now, there is Gundohan and De Jong in midfield. these two players can be a pivot that complements each other. Pedri, can also complement each other to help the front line. Gavi, can play on the wing, Lewandowski still plays as a forward, Dembele still plays in the RW position. I think this squad is quite competitive with a 4-3-3 formation.

Chelsea are experiencing a massive exodus of players. Kalidou Koulibaly has officially become the property of Al-Ahly and Kante belongs to Al-Ittihad. And then the two Blues players will also follow in the footsteps of their compatriots, Ziyech and Mendy will most likely also anchor in Arab lands. The departure of a number of important players in the Chelsea squad will certainly cause a variety of new problems. But Todd Boehly must have thought carefully and he also wants to trim his squad because he made a big transfer in the last transfer market.

Chelsea under Pochettino will certainly start a new chapter, he will be inherited by a potential young squad and of course Boehly will have high hopes for them to be able to restore the glory of the Blues.

Since last season, Chelsea has received a lot of attention because of the behavior of its owner Todd Boehly.

Todd Boehly spent more than 600 million pounds to purchase players in the transfer market last winter. expenditure after expenditure made by Todd Boehly at Chelsea came under scrutiny from UEFA regarding potential violations of FFP or Financial Fairplay regulations. that is why, to prevent Chelsea from violating FFP regulations, management must carry out financial equalization by selling several players before the 30th of the 2023 betting.

The reason, Chelsea has to sell many players before 30th June 2023 is because it still uses the same financial recording system as most football clubs world. In essence, another factor that requires Chelsea to sell many players before June 30 2023 is the losses that have reached a fantastic amount. therefore, Chelsea is required to release many players in order to balance the club's balance sheet in the 2023/2024 season. so it's very natural, if Chelsea do it.
Now, several players have left. So Pochettino's next task is to develop plans and strategies for his new squad. setting up some of the most ideal systems, and achieving chemistry between coaches and players ahead of pre-season matches.

Firmino is very close to join in al ahli. I think that he will be agreed to join in the club. It's better for him to play in saudi league as there will be so many superstars to come soon. I hope that firmino will not be wasting this golden chance to play for al ahli.
As reported by romano if al ahli already prepared medical test to anticipate if firmino will be giving green light to play in al ahli.

https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1673108790613245952

I hope that firmini will not be stupid enough to miss this chance. It's better rather than play for a mediocre club with small salary at this moment.
Al ahli has been giving him huge offer which is very worthy for him to play in saudi pro league as soon as possible. It's the time for him to shine again. Fi

Roberto Firmino is rumored to have received an offer from the Saudi club, Al Ahli. the Brazilian, recently left Liverpool after his contract expired. thus, Firmino is free and can choose his next destination. Previously, it was rumored that Barcelona had also been linked with Firmino. but according to CBS Sport, Al-Ahli has prepared a large sum of money to get Firmino's signature. in fact, Al-Ahli is already having his medical ready if they get the answers they want by the end of the week. if, in the end, Firmino accepts offers from the Saudi club, he could join forces with some of Edouard Mendy's familiars. including other players, who joined other teams.

Referring to Romano's report, more about Al Ahli's profosal to Roberto Firmino. I think, a dilemmatic decision for this Brazilian player. if you look at the money offered, of course it is more fantastic than what he received from Liverpool. however, AlAhli hopes to wrap it up this week.
To be honest, I like this player. although, in the 2022/2023 season it is rare to become a main starter. however, Firmino has often been the winner for the Reds. Whatever Firmino's decision is, I'll be happy to see it. moreover, if he can play again as a regular player. in this competition, he can produce quite a fantastic salary. So, it didn't take a week for her to agree. but if not, there are not many options for him to play in the European league with a competitive team. this offer, clearly opened up new opportunities for him.

I mean, we cannot blame Neymar for his injuries to be honest. After all, he is the most fouled player in the history of football as far as I know. And right after him is Lionel Messi. So him being injured is actually not his fault. But that does not get the clubs to say that they are going to keep him in the squad. Because an injured player is basically of no use for the club while he is injured.

So that’s why a lot of clubs are currently not very interested to bring in Neymar. The end of his career does not look very bright so far. If he wants to stay in PSG, I don’t think it is going to be a very good idea for him. But I don’t think he can attract big European clubs right now.


Even before, there were lots of rumors coming and going around Neymar. Several top clubs, including Premier League and La Liga clubs, are rumored to be Neymar's next season. but certainly, there is no official claim from these rumors. even rumors last week, a Saudi club interested in signing Neymar. I'm not sure if this rumor is true. most likely, just ordinary gossip.
To be honest, I like Neymar's style of play. but because of that, it is certain that he will receive challenges from the opposing team through tough tackling which in the end he is again injured. it's a shame, a talented player like Neymar was not given the chance to return. after all, his contract with PSG ends June 30, 2025. Of course, there are still 2 seasons left. plus, 1 year option.

So, how did the club deal with Neymar? will he be included in the sale list, or will he be maintained with a sizable salary. even if he were to be put on the sale list, which club would want to sign him on a high-paying and injury-prone basis. unless, he wants to play in the Saudi Pro League. at least, he will have a place and still receive a fantastic salary. or maybe, PSG will keep him. so, isn't this a difficult decision for both of them. Except, the two teams agreed to release the contract. unfortunately, that's not going to happen. Ideally, Neymar would stay with PSG under Enriqeu.

That's what the whole point and you can't judge Tuchel just after a few games we saw from him. Tuchel had a good performance with Chelsea in the champions league and that's why they hire him for Bayern Munich, they expect to see Tuchel have a good performance with Bayern Munich in the next season.
However, I think if he fails for the next season in the first month he can even get fired from his job.

I think it's too early for him to be sacked, but given the way Nagelsmann was dismissed, anything could happen. Thomas Tuchel had successful matches and tournaments with Chelsea. This was the main selection factor for Bayern Munich because they have been winning the league for a long time. Now they want to win UCL. If Tuchel can do that, he can coach Bayern for a long time.

Actually the system that Tuchel implemented when training Bayern, was quite effective. Unfortunately, they don't have enough finishing players that the team can rely on. that's why, Tuchel experienced complications so he had to try to tweak the strategy and rotate some of his players. plus trying to change the system that Nageslann has previously applied to Bayern players, a job that is quite complicated and also not as simple as we think.

Well, the new season is the real test. he can bring in newcomers as he wants to strengthen his depth. plus, Munich is well aware that they need a striker who can be relied on to become a center forward. that's why several names have been linked with Bayern. however, so far there is no certainty about which players they will bring to the Allianz Arena. at least, Tuchel or how to deepen his squad. plus, he needs a pure striker. if they do, I'm pretty sure Bayern will be one of the teams to reckon with in this competition. after all, the summer transfer window still has a lag, there is a lot of other work for Tuchel to do.
For now, we can only watch and only observe. after all competitions are reactivated, we can only assess Tuchel's performance with Bayern.
3272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: June 26, 2023, 06:23:18 PM
Bayern Munich don't look interested in prioritizing striker transfer right now. Instead they are concentrated on strengthening the defense and midfield in the recent times. According to latest news they are focused on bringing a centre-back, defensive midfielder and a right-back first. Kalvin Phillips and Ibrahim Sangare are said to be the candidates for the midfield. For centre-back they are waiting for the end of the month to see Kim Min-jae's release clause being active to complete the deal.

And for right-back position they are thinking of Kyle Walker recently. Maybe he is 33 now but he is still a solid right-back. Cancelo is about to return to Manchester City so this must be why they are after him.
We know that most of the attackers in the current Bayern Munich squad are holdovers from their previous coach, Nagelsmann. And if they don't sign a striker for the coming season, it's likely that Thomas Tuchel will be content with the attacking players he has now.

In fact, the names they currently have are top names, it's just that in their last season they were not so optimal that it made Bayern Munich a little difficult when they had to convert opportunities into goals. It also seems that now Tuchel has had enough time to be able to implement what he expects in the game, because if you look at the previous game that was not optimal, maybe it was the influence of the strategy imbalance that happened so quickly.

I think Bayern Munich really needs a center forward for their squad's needs for next season. as for the other players, they are not pure strikers except choupo moting. even then, it didn't match what Tuchel expected. why, because Choupo moting several times tried to become the main starter by Tuchel. the choice, not too ideal but still choupo moting is still needed by the Bavarian squad. although, just being a backup player. several names have been linked to be brought to the Allianz Arena, one of which is the Spurs striker. we know how Kane maintains his consistency with Spurs. that's why, Tuchel tried to bring him to Germany. unfortunately, the Spurs' asking price is not ideal with a player who is almost 30 years old. but for sure, I'm quite sure that Bayern will target several newcomers for the needs of the team. in particular, according to the style Tuchel wanted.

Regarding the system, it would be very natural if it had a big impact on Bayern's performance after under Tuchel's tutelage. Nagelsmann has his own characteristics, so does Tuchel. So, it will take time to achieve what the current Bayern coach wants. but at least now Bayern is trying to strengthen its depth by bringing in newcomers. I think they also have a plan to bring in a striker who is quite mature. at least, they need it to stay competitive in the Champions league. even so, let's see what Bayern Munich will do in the transfer window this summer.

Usually I bet when the match hasn't started yet, we can also bet on live matches. however, all of that is always adjusted to the conditions and which team will compete. in the end, all is your choice. moreover, if you are going to watch a match that is your bet. what you say in this thread, not always every fight is like you said. especially, in European football league betting. jumps in odds are rare, except after the game has been played. Or, it could be that a number of players will be absent and the bookies will change the odds significantly.

The point is, in sports betting it is natural that things happen like what you said. the important point is, what are you going to do in sports betting and how do you try to minimize losses in each betting session. that means, there is a mechanism that we must do before the match starts. in a way, researching a team that will compete. and I think, you definitely understand how the mechanism that you should do before the fight starts. In fact, you can also research the course of the match, that way you can choose other options from your bet.

What a legend.  Won't allow himself to be compromised for money.  It shows that money isn't his prime motivator.  But then again he prolly doesn't need more of it.  He prolly has enough to retire and just enjoy life.

I once said, of all the Madrid players, all the attention tends to be on their superstar or we can say on the Striker who is always the focus. but of the many Madrid players, only Luca Modric has an extraordinary work ethic. he is even consistent in almost every season, even though there always goes ups and downs. Luca Modric has a work ethic that really deserves appreciation, both for Madrid and the Croatian national team.
This man always gives his best performance. in fact, at the 2022 world cup Qatar.  by the way I'm not a Madrid supporter, but as a neutral fan. Luca Modric deserves to be appreciated by the club even though his performance has decreased due to age. in fact, he respectfully turned down the offer to play in the Saudi Pro League and chose to remain in the service of El Real.
Modric, is an extraordinary Madrid Legend.

Anyway what do you guys think of Havertz's possible transfer to Arsenal for 65m GBP?  I think it's good that Arsenal is splashing the cash but on Havertz?  Don't get me wrong I think he's a good player but 65m GBP for a misfiring striker?  I think he had less than 10 goals made last season...  But yeah maybe Arteta saw something that we don't.  Let's wait and see.

And there's some words swirling around that Jorginho could follow him.  Dunno...  But it does make sense for Chelsea to unload some players. 

Speaking of Havertz, I'm completely confused by what Arteta is doing. however, it seems that he will never replace G.Jesus as the center forward. So, what do you think Arteta is planning? will he play on the wing, or will Arteta change his system and formation for next season. this is interesting, it could be that Arteta will make Havertz release his potential by playing with Arsenal.
and I hope that happens as a Gunners fan.

Just as I expected Lewandowski also got an offer by Saudi Arabian teams. But thankfully he didn't accept the offer according to news. I wasn't expecting him to leave Europe this early after joining Barcelona truthfully. I will be expecting to see him play for at least one more season and then he might start thinking of his exit from the team for a new adventure.

I have read the rumors in the last one or two weeks. but as you said, Lewandowski refused. even if I am not mistaken, he said, that it is very likely that Lewandowski will end his career at Barcelona. As a fan, I'm happy with what Lewandowski said, even though the validity of this rumor is uncertain. however, what he made with the team in the 2022/2023 season, was a proud result. I really appreciate the presence of Lewandowski with Barcelona. Although to be honest, he didn't get the best service from his teammates. I mean, when he's on the pitch.

Meanwhile Barcelona had better work harder to be better in the Champions League while they have Lewandowski. It isn't easy to find a special striker like him these days but they haven't been able to do much in the Champions League group stage so far. I hope to see some improvement next season and hopefully Lewandowski can lead the team to a bigger success. I know he wasn't impressive against big teams there in the previous season but I expect him to return much stronger thanks to his experience as well.

I'm pretty sure, Barcelona next season will appear more competitive than last season. with the presence of several players that Xavi brought to Camp Nou, at least it made Barcelona's depth a little better, especially in the midfield. I haven't heard much news or information, regarding which other players will Barcelona bring in with the financial problems they are facing. but what is certain, Barcelona will remain one of the teams competing with Real Madrid in the 2023/2024 League title race. for the Champions League, we just follow its development, because the league has not been rolled out again.

I see it totally normal that Mudryk didn't perform very impressively this season. Because the whole squad of Chelsea were very inadequate. Their morale was so low that they even gave up on the season quite early. In this situation it wouldn't be a healthy assessment about a player. There is a new period starting for Chelsea now with Pochettino. This is going to be the most important time period to watch Mudryk's capabilities. If the team make a good start the expectation from him will also be high.

If he still can't impress people then I will also agree with the people who think he isn't good enough for Chelsea.

Of all the players Chelsea signed in the last winter window, only Enzo has performed better than the others. since Enzo was brought in from Benfica, it is almost certain that Enzo has always been the main starter. As for Mudryk, since he was brought in from Shakhtar Donetsk in the transfer window last winter, he has not been able to show a good performance and even not meet the expectations expected of Chelsea fans or us as neutral supporters.

If I refer to the statistics, Mudryk has 15 total plays, 7 times being the main started, average 44 minutes per game. The point is, it doesn't live up to expectations. but if we refer to the other side, it's only natural that he doesn't perform at his best. because Chelsea's situation at that time was in a very bad condition, the downward trend and factors in the locker room could become a separate obstacle for Mudryk's performance. not to mention, there are several other factors that cause his talent to not develop.

Well, in the next season there are no words other than he has to show his ability according to the price tag he has. let's see how he plays the match under Pochettino's tutelage.

No matter how we may talk about it. The main reason for gambling is to win. Even if you did not win big at least you should be able to win something out of your capital and not to lose all and when you eventually win from gambling that is when you will say that gambling is for fun. You cannot be losing consecutively in gambling and still be having fun from it.

When you are losing consecutively, it will no longer be a fun to you. So no matter how some people will claim that they gamble only for fun, they still have expectation to win.

Yep, that's how it is. So, we're in agreement. the point is, the essence of the fun of gambling is winning bets whether they are small or big. whatever we say, discuss, in essence we know very well that we are risking money even with the pretext of having fun. it cannot be denied, that gambling is fun and that is why our brains process more dopamine. Apart from being fun, gambling also offers unique rewards in each type of gambling, be it sportsbook or casino games.

When we win a betting session, the dopamine that is processed in the brain will provide more stimulation that makes us get more pleasure. but if the opposite happens, the situation will not make us enjoy the game session. no matter what type of game we play, be it slots, dice, roulette, or so on. even, for football betting though. the situation, it can affect us to make a re-deposit. if we are lucky, not only recovering the initial capital, but can also give big wins. if the day is unlucky, we can lose in a row.

And as you said, it is no longer fun. so in essence, if we have responsibility and self-control. when in an unfavorable situation, we can stop the gambling session. conversely, if we are in a favorable situation. remember, that there is a time for the game session to be stopped. with the reason, so that the victory we have won will not run out because we do not have self-control. so, just enjoy every gambling session with the threshold that we have adjusted.

Question is:
What is the possibility of the betting agent getting his money soon/considering the gambler's low-income earnings?

To be honest, I don't know where to start to examine the case you are talking about. however, regarding gambling a betting shop. it seems, there is a high probability that the person you are talking about knows each other with the betting agent. or, there could be other factors that cause this case to occur. maybe, there was negligence committed by the betting shop operator. because, it would be very unlikely if a betting agent gave credit of up to 8k without knowing that the gambler only had a 1k balance. obviously, this is outside the procedures that apply wherever the casino is. except, there is a conspiracy that the gambler and the betting shop know each other.

By the way, I'm not sure what I'm talking about, because I don't really understand the essence of this matter and what gambling the gambler is actually doing. however, I'm trying to simplify the case related to 1k credit to 8k. from here, we can already see that there is an irregularity going on. so my assumptions as I said in this post.

In my opinion, the self-control factor will not apply to those who are addicted, because it is undeniable that they will justify various ways to fulfill their desire to gamble, losing has become their best friend, and winning is a source of pride when they succeed in achieving it. If you are not a gambling addict then I don't think you will be active to keep doing it. Gambling addicts are very different from gamblers, gambling addicts will continue to return to do it based on high expectations, and gamblers are those who do gambling with the sole aim of filling boring or stressful free time because of work and not thinking too much about winning. This means that gamblers will not continue to do it because they think this is just entertainment and I call you a gambler, not a gambling addict because you only do it at certain times.

That's why, those who are used to following their emotional will to fulfill their gambling desires, tend to have the title of addict. automatically, they tend to ignore self-control and even have no self-control, especially with responsibility. but there is an interesting point for me, losing has become a friend for them. and this, too, applies to gamblers who do it for fun. IMO, it makes no difference. after all, losing and winning are the consequences of betting.

But yes, usually gambling addicts have a tendency to have intense gambling sessions. in fact, they can do it any time they want. or, every day. in the end, they will suffer a lot of losses. some people who have limited funds, will usually stop when they don't have the funds to gamble. some compulsive gamblers, will look for various ways to fulfill their gambling desires. well, as happened to what was told in this thread. the grandfather acted beyond his common sense, just to fulfill his desire to gamble. which in the end his desire to gamble was unstoppable, so he did something reckless and ended up with serious accusations on the basis of what he did.

I believe the most important point is to know about the sports we wanted to bet with.  We must know the information, strength, and weaknesses of each team.  This way we can have a better chance of winning.  We must pump up our skills in analysis and updated information so that we can tell precisely the condition of each team.  From that we can create a much better prediction on which team will end up victorious.

What do you say, ideally like that. however, there are several other mechanisms that we must be involved in when conducting research to determine a bet. apart from what you said in this post, there are other things that we consider. usually, I will look for various up-to-date information regarding the teams that will compete and be part of our bet. the choice, not just on which team is stronger. but to minimize defeat, we have to find all the information and loopholes from the two teams that we are researching. Apart from that, the formation and system factors used by the two trainers are always our consideration. that's important, because at least we'll have a little picture of how this match goes.

So, there are many approaches we have to take if we want to minimize defeat. everything, will be interrelated depending on the extent to which we have knowledge and insight regarding the sport. that's why, I prefer to bet on sports, especially football. at least from the 5 matches that I chose as a single bet, maybe only 2 bets missed what we predicted.
well, that way, we will win the rest of the betting session that we do. at least, it's more fun than any gamble for me personally.  moreover, it provides a sizable probability of victory depending on our insight. the rest, let luck decide.
