3441  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How will you feel if it happens to you just like this? on: October 08, 2023, 12:56:15 PM
This increase on the number of all addictions can be directly attributed to the pandemic, humans are social animals, so when they were forced to stay home without any emotional support and spend so much time by themselves, they tried to find an escape from this situation.

And while some found a way to deal with it in a healthy way, some others began to use drugs or abusing alcohol to deal with such solitude, and a small group of people used gambling as a way to escape from the difficult reality they were facing and became addicted to it.
If you look at the last pandemic, it can force people to stay at home for some time they don't know. They are trying to get bored at home because they can't socialize like before and are just waiting for a decision from their government. And because they already have easy internet access, they socialize via their devices while looking for ways to entertain themselves.

Finally, they found some sites that they found interesting and that was a casino. Gradually, they enjoy playing gambling games at the casino and feel entertained by all the games. And that's where there may be an increase in people addicted to gambling because they gamble from home and don't need to leave the house to just go to the casino.
The uncertainty of the whole situation did not helped either, back then we did not knew how long we will have to stay in such a state of seclusion, so not only the social isolation kept people at edge, but the fact they did not knew when this would end, if ever, is what caused many people to look for any venue they could find to cheer themselves up.

And some choose gambling as their preferred method to remain sane in an insane world, however there was a minority that lost control of themselves completely and unfortunately they fell into an addiction.

I think this is equal, or I mean when conditions are isolated everyone will definitely feel restless and also of course bored, most of them are looking for ways to stay at home but with some new things that can entertain them, many versions of entertainment they choose, and there are also those who end up being interested in gambling but I think not all people who are isolated end up choosing alternative entertainment from gambling, some watch movies, some practice cooking and others.

I think it's quite unfortunate for those who end up allocating their entertainment to gambling because obviously there is a very significant reciprocity, and I hope they already know everything that is there including the risks and also I hope they have prepared some limits to avoid or minimize something that is not wanted especially losses. So I would not have a problem with it as long as they can remain firm with the limits they have, don't let you create a trap for yourself.

It is true that there is nothing to blame books and movies they usually show the real picture of the society. Various writers and film directors have published the happenings in the society in some books and some through pictures. From now on we have to refrain from bad actions with education which takes shape in the society. Self control is the most important thing to reflect the society properly. Justice is easy to achieve if the person properly abstains from dirty deeds.
Writers and film directors show people what is happening in society and warn them about the dangers of gambling. By watching films and reading books, people can at least learn how to control themselves so they don't experience bad things or even commit bad actions. Rather than cheating against the casino, they should not have to go to the casino to get money because they can use other ways to get money. That would be much better than gambling and losing money because instead of losing money, it would be better for them to have the money to buy food or their daily needs.

That's a good lesson, you definitely should not go to the casino to get money. It's good when readers and moviegoer draw a lesson like this. But sometimes books and movies teach that the casinos are cheaters and there's nothing wrong then to cheat on them, and that's a bad lesson, I would say.

Absolutely agree with you, honestly I also never thought that there was a way for us to cheat in casinos, casinos really involve a very large turnover of money in it, so with that alone I think we should be able to understand that they casinos will not give the slightest gap for us to cheat and obviously their security system must be tighter. That's obvious, and if we continue to try various ways to cheat with the aim of getting a lot of money from there I think it will just be a waste of time.

Of course, it's better not to gamble because whatever method you bring will not work if your goal is to cheat to get a lot of money. As we know that the concept of gambling is just a place to have fun and that means there is absolutely no promising victory let alone for consistent results it is very silly. So instead you want to get a lot of money but instead you yourself experience a lot of defeat because you keep chasing victory while the casino makes a system that only benefits them and little for gamblers. So the point is you have to think before you do it, it's pointless and it's better to find a job that is certain.
3443  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When the fun stops on: October 08, 2023, 11:42:08 AM
I sure that almost the majority of gamblers do all that when they first enter a gambling site but in the last few years when the economy in every country has declined many new gamblers have started gambling to get profits or additional income even though in gambling there are profits that come uncertain or there is no guarantee that they will win but because of the difficulty in finding source of income they think they can easily win at gambling.

That's right, in addition because the economy in some countries now is not good, it is difficult to find a job and the price of basic necessities is rising so high, income and expenses are not balanced and clearly more expenses than income. This situation and condition is very reasonable if we relate it to gambling, which is my belief just like you, because the economic conditions are not good now most of the gambling rates have increased and most of the people come no longer to seek pleasure but to multiply the money they bring. Honestly, I see that most of them are from the lower middle class which means that they have poor finances in their lives. I think this is quite a reasonable reason why more and more people are now gambling, on the other hand, I understand that in gambling there is a chance of winning, they are very serious in seeing this opportunity. But I think one thing they should know is that it's not really a profitable opportunity, it's just a temptation to brainwash them into continuing to gamble and hope. In gambling there are winnings but I say the chances of winning are much lower than losing and there is absolutely no guarantee that you will win.

It no surprise that in this day and age pleasure is not the most important thing in gambling and you yourself must also feel the same thing namely being able to feel pleasure when you win and slowly really wanting to always be able to win until in the end you always chase it.

It not about mental singing because the difficulty of stopping is caused by desires that are always bigger than thoughts and here gamblers always have unreasonable desires namely the desire to always win and be able to change their lives from gambling.

There are some people who come just for fun but it will not rule out that then indirectly over time they do not realize that you turn the fun into a different goal that is to seek victory, especially if you have been given a few wins there then you will continue to pursue it because in addition to the extraordinary sensation you feel you will also get money from the victory. I say it's very difficult to stop if they're already in a cycle like that, their mindset is already lost there, and well that means some advice from other people will also not be too influential for them it must be clear that all they want is to continue chasing victory, so the only thing that can stop it is themselves, by slowly changing their mindset and it must also be really strong intention to stop.
3444  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: October 08, 2023, 11:12:16 AM
We get it, yet some people see gambling as their "golden ticket" out of issues. Its "Hey, Im down to my last dollar, but maybe this next bet will change everything." You know?

Gambling as enjoyment is like any other game. You pay, play, and laugh if you lose. However, many regard it as their only chance to change things. Like trying to restore a damaged toy in hopes it would work one day. You see the issue? Toy remains broken.

If people can perceive gambling as an enjoyable pastime rather than a way out, maybe they wont put all their eggs in one basket, right?
Or to mke it short, as long as they have money that they can bet, that mindset of maybe the next bet is my lucky shot. That thinking is always on their mind and that makes them more hooked up in gambling.
It is true, like what you said, gambling is like any other game, as long as you continue to play, it becomes your hobby and a goal of winning, in the end you'll end up getting addicted with unimaginable losses.

Yes it is for people who have entered the addiction zone, as we know that they will be willing to do anything just to gamble including making several loans to the people around them, none other than that because of their wrong mindset, which always assumes that "maybe in this experiment I will be lucky to restore the defeat in the previous time", as you said and indeed that is always what is in the minds of those who are already addicted. And well that's what addiction is, it always involves greed and curiosity.

I think it's better for them to start changing their wrong mindset, don't look for victory or income in gambling because obviously the reciprocity will never be expected, and it is very likely that you will not accept the defeat that comes. Yes, I understand that for those who are already addicted, it is quite difficult because they are almost completely dominated by lust and curiosity, but I am sure they can slowly change it, oh well here I will emphasize more for those who have just come to gambling, please don't care about other people's wins even though they are very tempting, believe me it's just a trap for your mindset. You never know how many defeats the person suffered until he finally won. So the point is you have to be wiser and realistic about this gambling.
3445  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ban from a Casino for Nothing Other Than Winning Too Much Money on: October 08, 2023, 10:21:27 AM
Bena, of course this will be very useful and beneficial for gamblers, indirectly it is clear that the restrictions of this casino will be able to minimize so that something unwanted does not happen, for example, the most feared is addiction, As you said when they gamble too much even though for example they can always get a win but that's not the problem but later when luck is no longer on their side then obviously they will definitely continue to play to pursue victory as before and their assumptions are like this "maybe today I'm unlucky and I'm sure if I try it one more time it will be able to get a win like the previous time", their mindset will continue to say like that even though on the other hand they have lost a lot.

I still think there is nothing better unless they try to stop, because as you said it is exactly right, when you win you will definitely be greedy and when you lose you will definitely be curious and keep trying. So I hope they will be wiser in gambling and more realistic in seeing gambling which is clearly not a place to make a living.
This means that behind the ban, we have benefited because we can prevent problems that could arise if we were still given the freedom to get the bonuses. We also must realize that casinos cannot always give bonuses to people with a high level of luck because it will affect their financial position. So if that happens to us, we already have a choice of what we can do and we are free to move to another casino if that is what we want so that we can still get those bonuses from other casinos.

Trying to stop would be better than gambling, especially excessively, because we could lose a lot. And if we only chase wins, we can become greedy because we want bigger wins which won't always happen. We must remember that gambling is just entertainment and we cannot expect to make money from gambling. We have to be wise in how we treat gambling so that we don't experience serious problems like other people have experienced.

If you think about it - this restriction from the casino is indeed quite useful to minimize so that they are not too excessive and also clearly so that there is no opportunity for them to realize their greed. It is true that we must be able to realize the fact that casinos will not always give you luck, because obviously it is contrary to their goals, we must understand that the casino's goal is only to make us lose by deceiving our mindset through the existence of opportunities that are absolutely not guaranteed. This means that it doesn't make sense if we keep chasing the winnings there while the casino just wants us to lose because they will get a lot of profit from it. Taking a little winnings and then realizing and moving to another casino is quite reasonable, I also often do this, honestly this is one of my ways, no matter how much the winnings are, the important thing is that it is above the balance I have and I will immediately make a withdrawal and then secure my capital and use the money from the previous winnings to play at another casino, so even if you lose, it's just money from the winnings.

So the point is you can gamble but not too much, and if you realize that your personality is always easily provoked and greedy then I think it's better to just stop than to keep looking for ways to win there. The fact is that you don't win but keep losing.
3446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: They know the truth but they don't want to accept it, publicly on: October 08, 2023, 10:02:46 AM
Gambling is not complicated actually, only people do complicate it. But I believe it’s the reality nowadays that they only gamble for money, fun is just the second option. But whether you gamble for fun or for money, I think that won’t matter at all. As long as you can afford to gamble and you know how risky it would be to gamble without being aware how to deal with those risks, then that’s fine. After all, gambling is not by chance, but it’s definitely a choice made by people who have passion to do it.
That is why before we decide to gamble regularly, we must first understand the risks of gambling so that we will not make the wrong choice. But we have to make sure that we gamble not to chase wins but to have fun and if we can win, that means we are lucky. But we can't expect to always get lucky because it will only happen sometimes for most people. And it is true that gambling is a choice made by people and we also have the choice not to gamble too often so that we do not experience more losses. We can gamble but have good self-control so that we don't get too deep into gambling and can stop gambling whenever we want. And if we already have it, we really have to take good care of ourselves so that we are not tempted by the offers or promotions offered by the casino.

That's right and I think it should be like that, before they decide to gamble they must first know what risks are there. But what usually happens is that they come only focused on winning, they know there is a risk of losing but they think it's like a small part that doesn't matter too much, even though on the other hand if they know the real facts the house has arranged everything and the percentage of winning is much lower than losing, so with that alone I think it can be used as a strong reason why now a lot of gamblers are finally down because of the wrong mindset. True, they must really be able to change their wrong mindset before something unexpected happens to them, because it is clear as you say this is only a place to find entertainment, but well for those who have already entered such a cycle it may be too late, but I think there is no harm in trying to change slowly.

Basically gambling is just about luck, that means even though you have tried dozens of times if you are unlucky then you will continue to lose, I think you should use your logic a little to think about this, instead of continuing to gamble because of the defeat that has upset you. It's a choice and you should consider it.
3447  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino is a Games of Chance and Entertainment on: October 08, 2023, 09:41:20 AM
I hope everyone (gamblers) can immediately realize the error of their mindset, but the problem is who knows when they will realize their mistakes, there is no real problem if they still want to gamble it doesn't matter, it's just that they must be able to apply good self-control and responsibility in their gambling. Because after all it's true like you said, there's no point in you chasing victory there because obviously it's not a place to make money, for victory you might be able to get and all gamblers will definitely get it but it's very difficult and very rare, in fact you will only be able to get one win if you have sacrificed a lot of losses, I feel it.

Of course it's true, as I've said before that's what always happens to them and maybe we must have also felt in the same position, if you win it will be greedy and if you lose it will continue to be curious, that's the fact. So the point is I hope they can immediately correct their wrong mindset, there is no point and will only add to the problem and also certainly worsen your living conditions, that makes more sense.
Gambling attracts many people who want to win large. I agree; how often does a huge win come without a loss? Even if you win, the greed to win more develops, right? If you lose? Your curiosity and "what if" keep you coming back. A difficult cycle.

Self-control and accountability are essential. In the heat of the moment, is self-control easy? Very difficult. You're right—many have felt that. So, the answer? Awareness, perhaps? Understand the mindset, pitfalls, and seek support when needed. Isn't recognizing the issue half the battle? Isn't it time for gamblers to ponder, understand, and change?

Well right, so even if you win at that time honestly I wouldn't say that you have completely won, but are you able to hold the winnings until it is real money? I mean until you make a withdrawal and resist all the greed that comes with the aim of winning more, is that possible or are you very sure? the answer I say is not necessarily friends, it is very unlikely if you ignore the greed while you are lucky enough, and well on average they will continue because of the urge of greed and in the end the money won again runs out. I think that's what usually becomes a regret for gamblers but they always repeat it, instead of getting a big win but finally it all runs out.

Agreed, of course self-control and accountability is a very important part of gambling, no matter what gambling you do, okay I understand it's very difficult to do when they are emotional, but this is the only thing that can help you. iSo don't overdo it and always set good limits and also be a responsible gambler, I'm sure you want the best instead of continuing to lose large amounts, it will be very useful to minimize, believe me.

Chelsea managed to record their 3rd win in the Premier League by beating Burnley with a landslide score of 1-4. I honestly did not predict that they would be able to win with a score like this, or even I doubt they will be able to win this match, but they can prove that they can still win with their situation which is still not good.
Overall they plyed well, especially their effectiveness in building attacks that resulted in a goal. But not without notes that they must improve, in some conditions they also still have weaknesses in the game. Improving, that's what I would say to them in this match, and hopefully they can continue to improve in the next match.

Mctominay was the hero to save Manchester United from defeat in the recently concluded match. It's true that they are in a bad state. Brentford is not really a strong opponent, and they don't have a better squad than Manchester United. But with the situation they are in now, even a club like Brentford can put them under pressure, and they are lucky enough not to lose this match.
Were they lucky in this match? Yes I would say they were very lucky, because the goal they scored came in a few minutes before the game ended. Coming on as a substitute Mctominay was the player who managed to save their face in front of their own supporters.
Manchester United are really lucky to win the game because the first half was not easy with them, I never expected them to win Brentford because it was so challenging for them to perform well. Mctominay was the man of the game,  I think this victory can change the mentality of Manchester United to have that winning mentality in their next game. Manchester United was lucky in the game because many people had already lose hope in the  game.
Although they can win this match, but to say that their mentality will change in the next match to a winning mentality I don't think I can easily say that. I don't deny that this result is good for them, but they also have to show a more promising game for me to say they have a winning mentality. Moreover, I think we can agree that this victory was a victory that was closely related to luck.
Manchester United are not that good of a club with a winning mentality. Especially they are in the Premier League which we know is a very competitive league. No matter weak and strong clubs meet but surprises will always be there.
3450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 07, 2023, 04:56:50 PM
I hope glazers will consider to sell manchester united. I will trust jassim even more. I would not even call injury as the problem faced by manchester united. The bad players are the main problem owned by manchester united at this moment. There's no need to make injury as an excuse caused by manchester united was always performing so well on its upfront but the defense was very weak compared with another club. Sancho will leave from the club in winter transfer season. He shall not be linked anymore to the manchester united. MU didn't really need him at this moment as the club has martial and hollund.
This is why he was also saying that if he was willing to join in the bundesliga again after leave from manchester united. I think that sancho needs to end his career in manchester united rather than continue to be involved in the conflict against ten hag.

It is true that the Glazer family would be better off releasing ownership of United into the hands of new owner Sheikh Jassim. If this is done, United will receive abundant financial support to start rebuilding the squad in the next transfer window. However, this does not mean that Glazer is entirely the cause of The Red Devils decline in performance, everyone who works at the club should be responsible for the current situation. Ten Hag is the person most in the spotlight, because he is directly responsible for the team's performance.

So far the storm of injuries and internal conflicts within the club have not yet ended, more or less these two things have had a direct influence on the team. I think if Ten Hag can't completely control the dressing room, don't expect United to achieve consistent positive results. It is reported that Sancho will most likely move in the next transfer market, Ten Hag really will not use his services this season.
It's also unfair to put all the blame for Manchester United's current plight on the Glazers, I'd rather say the Glazers are one of the many culprits that have made Manchester United's downward spiral difficult to recover from.
The Glazers still want to own Manchester United, and they won't simply relinquish their ownership to a new owner. But I am also one of the people who agree with that, it is better for Glazer to release their ownership in full, because in their hands the fact is that Manchester United is experiencing something terrible, and not a few Mnchester United supporters demand the Glazer Family to step down and sell Manchester United.

Barcelona may never lose, but if they draw a lot, it's also not good for them, because the points they collect are a little hampered if they draw a lot with the opponents they face. I think apart from defeats, draws are also one of the negative results felt by a club. Imagine me they feel 5 draws, that means there are 10 points wasted, and that will widen the distance from clubs that can get more good results with victory.
If we look back to last season in the Bundesliga, we will see how Borussia Dortmund failed to become champions because they only drew in the last match they played.

but it is also impossible for a club to win the League without a defeat or a draw. This is a long season, we will still see clubs losing or drawing, especially with the tight competition in La Liga.

the target of the fight may have to also look at their opponent. Even though we still have to hope and try to win, we still can't aim high when we see strong opponents.
A draw against a strong team is also good, and conversely, don't lose points when facing a weak team.
Strong team coaches usually rotate players when facing weaker teams, and that sometimes gives a surprise that a weak team can hold a draw or even win against a more favored team.
It's not impossible, but it's very difficult to do, winning the league without drawing and losing. I don't even remember and I don't know if there's a club that's managed to win the league without a draw and a defeat in a season. Some have experienced a season without defeat, but still they get a draw, yes it was done by one of the English clubs, Arsenal in the 2003/2004 season, it was 20 years ago.

One of the tough challenges they will face is when they play the El Classico match. Yes it is a very prestigious match and it is very difficult to predict who will be able to win in such a match, especially when the strength of the two clubs is the same.

The match between Al Akhdoud vs Al-Hilal in Saudi Professional League has already started. Al-Hilal team is now leading by 1 goal. It seems that Al-Hilal team will score another goal in a very short time. Al-Hilal team players  Their performance has started the match very well. Al Akhdoud team has not scored any goals so far. But I don't know whether Al Akhdoud team can score any goals in this match. It seems that Al-Hilal will win this match by 2 goals. But Al  If Akhdoud Tis can perform too well, it will be difficult to know which team will win the match.
The 1 goal lead lasted until the end of the first half, and it was quite unfortunate for Al Akhdoud as they had to play with 10 men in the second half after one of their plyers received a red card at the end of the first half. Now that Al Hilal are a goal ahead and they're a man up, I'm pretty sure they'll be able to hold on to their lead and even score an extra goal in the time remaining. It would be a shame if they can't win this match with the advantage they have now. For me there's no reason why they can't win this game, unless they're having some really big bad luck.

The Dortmund team performed exceptionally well last season but unfortunately they failed to secure the title. Since the beginning of this season, the team has been trying hard to do well. However, the performance of the team is not stable. Hopefully the team will try to find something great this season.
Union berlin have only won once from the last five matches and have lost four times in a row, I think they will come back to beat Dortmund and make it difficult for Dortmund to get the full three points today, the betting market looks to favor Dortmund but the current score is Union berlin winning 1 - 2 , there is still time to catch up for Dortmund but I am not sure Dortmund will play well tonight.

Playing at home Dortmund should be able to win the match easily because the support of the fans will probably give them more enthusiasm, but so far Dortmund is no longer a dangerous club so I don't bet on them, but bet on Union Berlin even though currently Union Berlin is still superior . but Dortmund could provide a surprise in the next round
After they fell behind 1-2 in the first half, Borussia Dortmund were able to bounce back in the second half, yes 3 goals they created and turned things around to 4-2 at the end of the match. With this victory they recorded 4 consecutive wins. overall their game was good, even though in the first half they had to fall behind. The possession of the ball they did could go well, and precisely in the second half they could be sharper to attack, unlike in the first half when they were very difficult to penetrate the defense built by the Union Berlin defense.

It seems that never losing is not a guarantee that Barcelona can lead the intermediate class. In 8 League games Barcelona have not lost, they have only drawn twice. It seems that Barcelona's record for this season still has no rivals in other Europa Leagues. Because other clubs have suffered several defeats. It seems that this condition makes Xavi more confident in the strength of the team.
La Liga is getting hotter than expected because average clubs are ready to pull big fight against elite clubs, with diligent actions. No team can proceeds to the final stages without recording defeats, but they can try to keep good scored of unbeaten run but it's only temporary. Xavi Hernandez have strengthen the club beyond measures, though they have problems to solved but we know how the legendary player fixed these challenges. Barcelona are in UEFA Champions League, getting the best results so far, unbeaten this season in 8 games. 6W 2D 0L stats and currently ranked second on the table.
Barcelona may never lose, but if they draw a lot, it's also not good for them, because the points they collect are a little hampered if they draw a lot with the opponents they face. I think apart from defeats, draws are also one of the negative results felt by a club.

Juventus will host Torino a few hours from now, this is an important match for them to get back to winning ways after the previous week they were only able to win 1 point after being held to a draw by Atalanta. Torino is an opponent that can be said to be easy, especially in the last 3 matches they also did not get anything satisfactory by only winning 2 draws and winning 1 defeat. The difference in the strength of the squad they have also looks striking, it is a pity if Juventus are unable to win in this match because this is a fairly easy match for them. It doesn't have to score a lot of important goals they can win even with a thin score.

Sometimes PSG can perform well when there is doubt that they will be able to beat their opponent and vice versa they can be very disappointing even though the team they are facing is the bottom team but they can only play to a draw. 

PSG are undergoing a rebuild and it is only normal to have shocking embarrassing losses here and there. Against Newcastle United, PSG simply crumbled mentally and tactically and while we blame the players for poor performances, we have to blame the coach too for a poor outing. Eddie Howe simply outclassed and bossed the PSG mega team. Good points for Newcastle United, Enough matches to bounce back for PSG in the champions League.

PSG should bounce back in the league game comfortably this weekend.
Are you not wrong to say that? I don't see any reasonableness achieved by Paris Saint Germain, because they feel this kind of result not only this time, but some time back also displays something similar. I would say it's natural when they overhaul the whole squad they have. But the fact is that currently they still have good players, even they have a star labeled player in Mbappe. If you say what they are experiencing is normal, then where were they some time ago when they performed more or less the same performance? maybe now they are declining from some time ago. And it shouldn't happen to them and it's not right to say it's normal.

Another week for Tottenham Hotspur to play out another game against Luton who are some how still getting use to the EPL and is going to be another free win for the visitors (Tottenham) that's to their fans and some online stakers but I don't see Tottenham Hotspur winning this game.
Luton might be poor in their performance but I think they're going to take this game like is their last game in the EPL and they don't mind spoiling that unbeaten strict for Spurs today but I can just tip today's encounter between the newly promoted side against Spurs as a draw.

Spurs will probably win but it is Spurs after all, losing and failing to win trophies is in their club DNA. Their form won’t last, they have a really small squad. I can’t see Luton getting a result but it wouldn’t surprise me. Spurs are like an elephant stuck in a tree, you don’t know how they got there but you sure as hell know that they won’t stay up that high Cheesy

Come on Luton Wink

Looking at the conditions of these two teams between Tottenham and Luton is clearly very far and Tottenham is in its best form, while Luton is at the bottom of the table, so I think there will be no doubt if some people bet on Tottenham because it is clear with their promising performance this season that they are superior to Luton. Well that's true, to win that game is very possible for Tottenham but to end up as champions at the end of the season is too much for a team that doesn't have a winning mentality at the end of the competition, and that's Tottenham.

But honestly I think no one knows about how Tottenham will be next, for the trophy is very doubtful because failure always dominates this squad at the end of the season. But who would have thought, I mean nothing is impossible. So the point is I hope they will continue to be able to be consistent like this until the end of the season, even though they fail again for the trophy but at least they qualify in the top five for the UCL.

There are so many signs to indicate that one is addicted to gambling such as incessant gambling even when he's not winning his stakes, selling of personal belongings just to raise capital for gambling, taking loans from banks and borrowing from close friends and relatives just to gamble and many others. But one popular character of gambling addicts is that they don't used to admit to the fact that they are addicted to gambling hence it is very difficult for people around them to help and stop their addiction in gambling. But no matter how difficult they tend to be, it's expected of anyone around them to help them see reasons on why they must stop their addiction in gambling

The characteristics that you mentioned are exactly right and indeed correspond to those who are addicted to gambling, and also this is the danger when they are too serious in looking at gambling by applying the wrong mindset and also too high expectations about a victory that will not always be in their favor. They seem willing to do everything just to gamble and of course there is no guarantee whatsoever to win, but strangely somehow they are very confident in making loans to other people including banks and of course they also sell some of their valuables, honestly if there are people like this then I say the level of addiction is very high. In addition, it is very difficult to recover if the addiction is like this, instead of getting the victory as they always expect but at the end of the story they are even worse off with a lot of debt or debt and well it is very possible that in the end they will be stressed or even commit suicide.

The question is, do you want to be in a position like that? I'm sure not, so from now on reconsider everything, change your wrong mindset as soon as possible, this is absolutely not a place to earn income but only for entertainment. I'm sure you know what's best for you, so change everything before it's too late.

Exactly. We are not just seeing here the welfare of the casino, but even with the gambler as well. If these players will be limited from betting, the advantage is that they can prevent a lot of losses so they can save more from their funds, and most importantly they will avoid gambling additiction. Although it's an initial act for casinos to protect their bankroll, but it's also a way to prevent theirselves from consistent losing.
So actually, this can also provide benefits for the player because he can protect himself from negative things that can arise as a result of gambling that might become excessive. We know that winning several times can make us addicted to gambling and want bigger wins and that is greedy. But when we have been gambling for longer and only experience defeat, it can also result in the loss of the winnings we have earned and what is even worse is that we can become addicted to gambling. But it depends on the thoughts of each gambler because what we think is not necessarily what they think.

Bena, of course this will be very useful and beneficial for gamblers, indirectly it is clear that the restrictions of this casino will be able to minimize so that something unwanted does not happen, for example, the most feared is addiction, As you said when they gamble too much even though for example they can always get a win but that's not the problem but later when luck is no longer on their side then obviously they will definitely continue to play to pursue victory as before and their assumptions are like this "maybe today I'm unlucky and I'm sure if I try it one more time it will be able to get a win like the previous time", their mindset will continue to say like that even though on the other hand they have lost a lot.

I still think there is nothing better unless they try to stop, because as you said it is exactly right, when you win you will definitely be greedy and when you lose you will definitely be curious and keep trying. So I hope they will be wiser in gambling and more realistic in seeing gambling which is clearly not a place to make a living.
