To have feelings of regret is just fine ‘coz that would simply mean you have learned something. But to be stucked with regret is a bad thing; you may still invest at the present market price. The next bullrun would more likely cross the previous ATH, only problem is to wait ‘til that day or time comes in this market. Therefore, you should mind holding and being patient for the mean time. Bitcoin’s market price has a lot of potential to increase in the future. You’d only struggle being consistent with holding and avoiding not to sell no matter what.
There is not point hitting tour head so much for something that have already past, this is because alot of the time, fhe different between a failure and suceesss is just time so imsomeone have misused any opportunities innthe past, but have realised their mistakes and have taken all the needed lesson, there ks no need in such situation to be so angry at yourself for taking such decision of being skeptical about bitcoin and ending up delaying in buying into the idea of Bitcoin.

Although we are still at the best Bitcoin market position at the moment and we may likely see a higher discount price innthe future, this is something that gives the ops another chance to join the moving train so as not to end up with more regrets when he misses the chance again.
Self-forgiveness is crucial, right? Many of us overlook this undervalued skill, especially when it comes to financial prospects like Bitcoin.

Bitcoin values rise and fall. Today's remorse may be tomorrow's relief. Lets be optimistic about jumping on Bitcoin's "moving train" but also a little of pessimistic, too. Bitcoin is dangerous, and investing without a strategy or understanding could ruin one's wealth, no?

 If everyone believes in buying Bitcoin now and it crashes, where does that leave all the new investors? Heartbroken? Financially strapped? The takeaway: Understanding Bitcoin, its technology, and market patterns is crucial. Knowledge helps us avoid regrets, right?

First, good job on being proactive about payment. Getting BTC pay? This is novel, especially for individuals in locations where traditional banking is difficult.

After being in Bitcoin for a long, I love hearing stories like yours, however theres a small issue. Bitcoin volatility - ever considered it? You see, its amazing now, but BTC might plummet. Its your call, and you may know better than most of us.

Remember: While getting paid in Bitcoin and eliminating banking costs is great, always watch the market. Stay smart, informed, and fantastic with your web dev gig.
3743  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can change lives on: October 09, 2023, 12:30:32 AM
It is a proven fact that Bitcoin can change lives even without mentioning the price surge of its market.  Before Bitcoin was created, unbanked people has no means in participating in international trades, so they are missing out on many things that need bank to process.  With the creation of Bitcoin, this unbanked can now participate in global economy, thus they had given opportunity to do business world wide.  This alone can change lives of people that wanted to do international trades or businesses.


It is true that Bitcoin can change the life of someone who wants to learn about it and invest, but for those who don't want to know and learn about it, of course this is just normal for them. You are right with the presence of Bitcoin everyone has the opportunity to do business anywhere. If we have the desire to start then we need to study it well and understand all the risks that may occur in the investment we make. In collecting it, we have to use a strategy so that we can get a profit from what we have done.
Your desire to learn and invest in Bitcoin is admirable, and your strategy-oriented approach is excellent, yet the ever-elusive “right” plan sneaks into our debate. Doesnt it seem odd that these tactics are so diverse and fit no one?

Learning is essential; we know, preach, and live that. Many tactics that one swears by can be another's downfall. Strategy responds, frequently in a language that isnt universally understood or applicable. While we cheer every Bitcoin triumph and nod in approval at the dedication to learn and grow, lets think about how we might help people develop and adapt tactics to their specific financial landscapes and risk tolerances.

You must pray for me so that I can fulfill my mother's dream.
I don't think anyone would call your desires and hopes ridiculous. In fact, I feel that it is a good intention and I support your intention to make your parents happy and achieve your parents' dreams through your activities in the world of Bitcoin.
Everyone must have intentions, motivation and goals for themselves so that they can continue to be motivated and make maximum effort in the activities we carry out in the cryptocurrency world, whether through trading or investing in Bitcoin.
I think most people who enter the world of Bitcoin today also have the same hope and desire, namely to increase their finances so that they can realize what they hope for and what they dream of, like your dream of building a house from your income in Bitcoin.
Study seriously all trading and investment knowledge and I hope you don't give up easily in learning about trading and remember not to be too greedy in the trading activities you do.
Yes of course, as fellow people who struggle in the world of cryptocurrency, we must wish each other the best for all of us.
How do you feel about helping each other achieve our goals in the cryptocurrency world? Very accurate! I get your perspective completely. Everybody has a tale to tell, and each person has a unique journey that defines them, am I right? Like you and me, a large number of people enter the world of Bitcoin with hopes, goals, and aspirations. And, really, who wouldnt want to use their Bitcoin profits to support their family or build a house?

But here's something to keep in mind, while we're pursuing our Bitcoin ambitions, we also need to keep in mind to spend some time in the here and now. Life is whats going on! Avoid losing track of the little things because you are too preoccupied with trading and investing. Key is balance.

And why is it that being greedy is stressed so much? Very good suggestion! Let's continue to support one another and wish each other luck!

Can governments control what they dont know?

Its no wonder the US and others want to control Bitcoin and other decentralized systems. Their business is regulation and oversight. They do that. They cant control Bitcoin, but they can regulate its use. Thinking taxes, limits, laws, etc.


CBDCs are the government's "If you cant beat them, join them!" Their goal is to build a digital brand, not combat Bitcoin. They want in on the trend. Will it work? Thats uncertain. Its funny to watch major companies struggle with current tech as they catch up.

To answer your question on why the US government wont give up on Bitcoin: They believe its preferable to maintain some control, even a little.
3746  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: October 08, 2023, 01:54:05 PM
-snip-
Now let's be sincere, will you also classify a successful gambler as an addict?
I would not categorize successful gamblers as people who are addicted to gambling, but in my opinion successful gamblers are those who can manage their finances and are able to control their emotions.
Usually, most of the gambling addicts we meet will not be able to achieve success because if they have won a big win they will definitely place another bigger bet, thinking that by increasing the bet amount they will get a bigger win, but in fact they will end up losing . So we rarely see gambling addicts who are successful due to these factors.

What exactly is the category of gambling addict this? In my opinion, successful gamblers can also be called addicts because they make money from gambling and spend time playing gambling games, so what is the appropriate term for these people if they are not addicts?
It's just that the addicts I mean are not addicts who harm themselves, those who are successful in gambling are gamblers who are responsible and disciplined, can controls their finances well and can playing the game with the strategy and analysis they have so they can be successful thank to gambling.
when people hear the term "addict," they immediately think of someone spiraling out of control, right? But there are indeed gamblers who are successful, disciplined, and not necessarily "addicts" in the traditional sense. These folks have managed to turn gambling into a sort of craft, treating it like a job, where they invest time in research, strategy, and responsible betting. You can call them "professional gamblers" if "addict" doesnt sit right.

However, if someone spends most of their time, say reading books, are they book addicts? Does passion automatically label someone an addict? Food for thought. Its crucial to differentiate between harmful addiction and professional practice. They might look similar, but the mindset and outcomes are totally different.
3747  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sometimes just flex it ( luck is all you need) on: October 08, 2023, 12:37:10 PM


The sad truth about this whole gambling stuff for me well I don't know for other but with the little experience I have gotten is that no one can be too certain and can be too safe or cautious when it comes to gambling and this is proven here in a betslip I won recently that just got me thinking of how i never even intended to forecast the odds or whatsoever, I just actually just FLEXED IT and the game came through for me which was fun because I played it for fun.

So sometimes don't think just flex it and let luck do it part friends.

It is a game of luck and you should not expect too much of it, as much as you would like to play to make money it just doesn't work on gambling, money comes unexpectedly when you least expect it on gambling, so it better to leave everything on luck when it comes to luck based games if you're lucky you're going to hit the jackpot there's too much stress forcing your way to make money.
Only newbies expect to make money from luck-based games, you can try sports betting if you want to challenge yourself in analysis but a large percentage of it is still on based on luck.
Gambling is just that: gambling.We'd like to think there's a system or secret sauce, but it's luck. You know the saying, right? "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." When your wallet hits the jackpot in gambling!

Chases are thrilling, but they can also be addictive. It's tempting to imagine, "Just one more bet and I'll win big." Where does it end? If you like analyzing, try the stock market. Though unpredictable, there's a lot of research and preparation. However,  while the stock market involves analysis, isn't it also a gamble in its own right?

Newbies, relax, have fun, and play responsibly!
3748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How will you feel if it happens to you just like this? on: October 08, 2023, 12:17:41 PM
People are looking for amusement and socialization at home during the pandemic. Casinos and other online venues have given many that room. I know - its simple and entertaining during these difficult times.

These internet venues are fun and accessible, but they must be handled responsibly. More people playing online gambling may exacerbate gambling addiction. Although online gambling games are thrilling and entertaining, limits must be imposed.

Online casinos are one of several methods to relax. Keep it that way and avoid future issues.
Yes, it looks simple but it provides entertainment for people who can't go anywhere. They can remain at home while waiting for further notification from their respective governments. But it turns out playing gambling from home is more fun because they can do other things while they do it. But most of them cannot be responsible for what they do while gambling, so many of them experience gambling addiction. They also didn't think they could experience a gambling addiction like that even though they felt they didn't gamble too often and it was still within normal limits.

And online casinos can survive and provide services to people who are at home and can't go anywhere. But we also have to try to be responsible if we want to play online gambling because it can make us addicted to gambling without realizing it. Moreover, now many casinos have returned to being non-public so we can visit offline casinos like before.

When we see the Game as the version That it is, of a safe and Mature way , since we have this type of thoughts and power to Do in our actions , we Cannot Generalize that everyone thinks like that, I have brought My example to the forum many Times with Regarding the slots , I didn't like the fact that I tried them because I lost All My Money, but then some time later I Realized the people were winning a lot, in fact the big Wins are in the tragedies , so there must be a Secret there, or at least That's what I was Wondering , After I was Exploring, reading a lot about the slots , I Launched into them to see what the issue was like (now with Information things are more fluid and Generates more Security in people) then I understood well How is this, it caused me a lot of relationship and good feeling, so I decided that I no longer care about Winning or losing in the slots, anyway I always have little balance, because I Know that with less than 10usd one I could lead to a good end , if You win free Spins, then that is the Best because it is the way that Yields the Most for our Money, and obviously with free spins one can have access or can have More Access to Certain Comforts in the slot Machine, Which is Or which goes with the Convenience of greatly multiplying the Balance.

So when you start to Enjoy it, you may see certain games as a service, of course with the chance to win but if you lose the money , which I have for the slots, it doesn't Hurt, because I know that I have received something that I like see, what I like to Enjoy for that reason is that I always look for pragmatic slots, it seems to me that they have better RTP than the Others , I like their Good multiplier when you win, I like music and I think that in Reality it is not that one has gone Back to how he was when he was little, I think it is a Shame to Grow up when a game should be enjoyed as it should be, for that reason I now speak very well about slots, of course I have Not been Lucky enough to multiply my money there, but someday it will be Done.

First, congratulations on enjoying slots without cash. A new perspective! Like, most people? Its all about the money, right? But not you. You come for the atmosphere, music, lights, and experience!

Slots are complicated, my friend. Designed to keep you playing. The RTP, music, flashing lights? All are there for a cause. Even if you like pragmatic slots, understand that every machine has its own mechanics.

Should you consider other forms of entertainment that provide the same excitement without the financial risk if slots are more about the pleasure than the money?

Honestly , Leverkusen is playing so smooth that I wouldn't be surprise to see them in the finals or even winning it because right now they seem to be one of the first candidates alongside Liverpool to win the trophy this year.

It would be great if we could see the final between Bayern Leverkusen vs Liverpool, right? I know it's still too early because when enter the knockout round everything can change a lot, and in that round teams can't make mistakes that could result in them being eliminated, but if the two favorite teams continue to perform well then this will be an ideal final and very interesting to watch, but I still favor Liverpool to win the European League this season, maybe the feel not the same when winning the champions league but at least it's better because ending the season without a title is very unpleasant.
Based on their current performances, a Bayer Leverkusen-Liverpool final would be fascinating. Leverkusen's chances worry me. Will they maintain their progress under Xabi throughout the competition? Leverkusen faces tight competition from Sevilla, the "kings of the Europa League". A packed Liverpool schedule worries me. In the UCL, EPL, and Carabao Cup, Klopp has his team. Does he keep them fit and focused? Despite having a higher chance of winning, Liverpool may be too spread out in the Europa League. Both teams face a dangerous journey.

The thing is that,  gambling have and most be done within a planned period and location to avoid it interference with family life and other social responsibilities,  although as a none addict,  it quite easy for you to understand what the level of risk of you gambling activirtley every day,  but still on still I am still of the opinion to come in,  all way out and avoid addictions by be more.


Responsibility in meeting the needs of the family is very important and if one of the family is addicted to gambling, the family will definitely be shaken or get into a lot of problems, and we need to anticipate this when gambling, we must always be careful. and stay under control.
Every individual is aware of the risks in gambling, it depends on the person himself whether he can be consistent in managing his money or not, if someone has difficulty carrying out activities and has difficulty thinking well so as not to become an addict. there's no way he'll just stop, it'll just get worse. brutal in carrying out his gambling. Like you said, they think that he still wants to get in and out of gambling, I think it's still doubtful that he's not sure about stopping.
As you may have observed, when one family member is really into gambling, the whole family suffers. A single person sinking means the ship is taking on water.

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

Some people dont realize they're in trouble until its too late. They keep going in and out, unsure of stopping, as you noted. Is it willpower alone? Is there a deeper issue we're missing?

Jude Bellingham has hypnotized with a very brilliant performance. Anceloti is not wrong in buying players. Modric, on the other hand, has now started many games from the reserves. If I'm not mistaken, Modric has only started 3 times. But if you look at Modric's current role, he is still very capable of playing as Madrid's creative midfielder. They have no other substitutes for the time being. So perhaps speculation of a temporary departure will not happen for Modric.
I truly think that Ancelotti has been incredibly unreasonable with his player management, especially when it comes to Modric! Even though he's not 38 years old, a player of his level deserves to be given more game time. He's still great with the ball, calling plays and planning moves, but he has to sit on the bench and warm up. Not true! Then there's Jude Bellingham, a wonderful young player who, with 8 goals in 8 games, is honestly shining brighter than most. But putting so much faith in a young player while leaving a seasoned pro like Modric on the bench? Im not sure how to understand that move. Even though Modric isnt putting in great 90-minute efforts, Madrid could still benefit greatly from using his creativity from the start

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.

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.
Its interesting and touching how gaming profit is sometimes driven by silent desperation, isnt it? The human tendency to optimism, even in probable loss, is a major issue we overlook here. Its intriguing to see how humans try to make money from an uncertain activity.

Your point about gambling's pleasure being a byproduct resonates. However, does this reverse the situation? It turns enjoyment into a dangerous economic survival game.

You seem to be saying that in this perilous venture, our appetites, especially when unrestrained, exceed reasonable thought. Can a reasonable person control these inclinations to limit harm while gambling? How may mindsets change without desperation engulfing rationality?

At the end the problem of gambling is a personal thing, it is almost impossible to help someone that wants to continue gambling.

They will continue gambling until they lose all their money, and sometimes people will even loan money to try to recover their losses, only to lose it all all over again...

It's a dangerous addiction that can destroy many lives

actually there are various types of gambling addiction, and I actually call myself a gambling addict so I can't just get away from gambling but I don't really spend the money I have and I always use it sensibly because I can control myself and can set limits when I spend money to play I've also had experiences where I can't control my money when I'm having problems so I run to gambling to entertain myself but the gambling uses up my money very quickly and makes me more in trouble.
But as time went by I realized that if this continued to happen to my life I would not have a good future and I slowly started to be disciplined when gambling.
However, there are also gambling addicts who commit violence against friends or family when they experience financial difficulties or are experiencing continuous losses. This can cause someone to experience mental disorders and if this continues to happen it will cause unrest in society because it has created chaos in the environment where they live they live so they need help to help their addiction.

I think that the trick to all this is that there should always be something like autocontrol, it is known that in the game when a Person plays in the long term, his tendency will be to lose, but why? because the casino has an advantage, and it is huge, a casino is a business, it is a company that needs to win, and the way to win is through fun and they always implement the old classics, hence the house always wins, then we as players must be clear about this when playing, that we are giving money to the casino knowing that this money can be Multiplied or lost in its entirety, that when we lose and continue putting in more money and more money You are entering into a possible case of addiction, and that is the only thing that should always be avoided, I think your case is too good for you to have Brought it here, or what I think happened to you and because you reached a level of maturity, and that brings with it a lot of knowledge and experienc e, that you will have gone through many Processes to know what you know today, so that is something Pretty Good.

When we are comparing certain ways of thinking with what we call professional players, they are because they have very different playing habits, first because a person who has a lot of money, well I consider him Professional if he bets close to the value of $1M, for me that It is a Christmas, truly processional, but in the event that things are not done that way, the diction is not only for the followers of a relatively low economy, or economically bad, there are people who are very well, who do not like them. They hate Spending other People's money Because they know they will be left unemployed, so that type of Player can also be addicted, and there have been Many cases like this, where they have become so decapitalized that they no longer care, as I said, always in all Parts of the World. There are people who don't mind losing their Money , as long as they get some Happiness from the Game, well, Everything is Fine.


Casinos are meant to benefit the house. The odds, games, and atmosphere are all for their benefit. Players want thrills, you're right. However, control is essential. Self-control always matters. As you noted, constant donations may lead to addiction. Thats trap.

On to professional players. Your point is valid. They can still be addicted even though they bet more. The thrill of the game draws you, regardless of the stakes. Playing clever makes you think you're immune. Are you sure? Thats the hundred-bitcoin question. Always recognize the dangers and never gamble more than you can afford to lose.
3754  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino is a Games of Chance and Entertainment on: October 08, 2023, 10:14:07 AM
The outcome of the majority of casino games is mostly controlled by luck rather than ability. Examples that are often used include craps, roulette, and slot machines. Players wager on numerous outcomes in these games, and the casino has an inherent advantage that ensures they will profit in the long term.
Casino gaming is a popular source of entertainment. Instead of looking at it as a means of making money, players should approach it with the intention of having fun.

Yes, I won't argue that casino games are a game of chance. That's why it became a form of entertainment for anyone since when luck hit us, expect an amazing experience that we won't forget even if we count for several years especially if that's a decent and really a huge win.

It's very obvious that treating gambling as a form of making money is the worst idea. Making money out of luck is a risky thing to do.

Don't dare to make gambling a source of income. Not all people have a fortunate future out of doing that.
We all have that friend or have been that friend who's been enticed by the big prize. Lights, sounds, that momentary thrill... All part of the experience. It keeps casinogoers coming back. Right, making it your income? Just asking for problems.

I've seen people dive into gambling expecting it'll be their golden goose. However, for every millionaire, numerous others have lost everything. It's cyclical. Win a bit, get excited, lose more, chase that loss, etc.

What if, just what if, there was a way to teach discipline in gambling? Would that alter the outcome? Probably not, but a thought.

It means you were seeing gambling as a part of your daily activities. I never try to do that coz im seeing gambling as entertain for me. It depends on how you are seeing it. I don't have a specific age to retire as i didn't even need it. I play when i need it for entertain purpose only and i don't play when i don't need it. Don't take it seriously and see gambling as a way to get cheer up your life. You shall take it easy. Never try to see gambling as something that will be really hurting your life. You can even spend a few dollars for fun only.
Gambling is still safe as long as you will not be addicted. Just try to control yourself and everything is fine. I don't even know why do we need a specific age to retire from gambling.

Gambling is about luck and entertainment.
You make good points. I find it intriguing that you gamble for fun. Many allow it to control their life. Good to hear you've achieved equilibrium. Remember that not everyone has your self-control. Some are drawn in and become immersed.

Your position on gambling retirement without a set age is intriguing. How you see it matters, you're right. However, dont you suppose priorities change and individuals lose interest as they age? What if your "lucky streak" fades with age?

Everything needs balance, and you've found yours. Enjoy it, but be careful.

The host Dortmund finally won the match against each other with a score of 4-2 over their opponents Union Berlin. Actually, I was quite surprised that Union Berlin had turned things around after conceding first and thought that this time Dortmund would lose at home. But it seems that after the second half started there were two quick goals from Schlotterbeck and Julian Brandt which managed to turn things around again and made them more confident in winning this match. As the final winning goal, Ryerson did his job well which made Dortmund's victory safer.

This result raised the morale of the Dortmund players and they rose to second place temporarily, while Union Berlin had to accept the reality of being stuck at the bottom of the table again.
Dortmund led early, but Union Berlin equalized before halftime, and Dortmund pulled off an astonishing comeback. I found it most intriguing that Union Berlin led the league despite being so behind. Dortmund has quietly moved up and secured their top spot as Union Berlin struggles. That game made me feel anything was possible in football! Schlotterbeck and Brandt's goals were crucial and highlighted Dortmund's energy. Remember how crucial Ryerson was to that win. I think the team's consistency demonstrates they can stay in the upper league.

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.

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.
Casinos arent just handing out bonuses for fun; they're businesses after all. And like any business, they have to protect their interests, right? We players often forget that casinos arent our buddies; they're in it to make a profit. But you've hit the nail on the head when you say that we have choices. If one casino doesn't offer the bonuses we want, there's always another one down the virtual street. Its like shopping for a new pair of shoes; if one store doesnt have our size, we move on to the next.

I totally agree with you that gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a source of income. Too many folks think they can beat the system, but most end up disappointed. And chasing wins? Man, thats a slippery slope. Greed has a funny way of creeping up on you when you least expect it.

What if all casinos start limiting bonuses? Do we just jump from one to another, or do we reassess our approach to gambling? Think about it.

Of the real options, there is only one and it is known to everyone - Real. This transfer could have taken place last summer and the previous summer, but PSG poured money into everything (as it turned out in vain) and Mbappe lost another two years in the Parisian swamp. Exotic options may include City. Since City still cannot persuade Haaland to extend his contract, there is a theoretical possibility that Real will lure him instead of Mbappe, but then it will be the most profitable and logical for Mbappe to move to City.
I don't know whether Mbappe's decision to extend his contract with PSG was a wise decision or whether he was punishing himself to continue being with a club that has difficulty winning prestigious trophies (aside from local competition trophies). Whether this is a form of loyalty or purely because of money, everything is still gray. Real Madrid's interest in Mbappe has been around for the last few years. Mbappe could have moved there straight away, but in reality he has always extended his contract with PSG.

Regarding Haaland, I think he will stay at Manchester City. He has been at the peak of his performance since starting his career in the EPL, at the peak of which he managed to achieve his first treble winner in his career. With Manchester City he could become the best player in the world by winning the Ballon D'or. Currently he is at the right club and is being looked after by a genius coach, there is no reason for him to move to another club.

Mbappe's contract extension with PSG is shocking. The true reason? Loyalty? He had the golden ticket to Real Madrid, a club that often wins titles, yet he stayed at PSG? Was this his biggest mistake? I think his decision to stay shows that he prefers money or a secret allegiance over competitive success.

I think Haaland's best move was sticking put. Manchester City's man is hot. Achieving a triple and playing for a team that values him? I say he won big. Why seek fresh pastures when your current one is so lush and inviting?

So people who don't have money will gamble because they see there is an opportunity to make money from gambling. This makes them continue gambling, and even though they have little money, they still continue because there is hope of winning the game. This is a common occurrence everywhere because people hope to bring home some money so that the money can be used to buy their daily necessities. But they often won't make money from gambling because gambling is not a place to make money. Lower-class people should be able to realize that they will not be able to make money from gambling, so they need to look for better jobs so they can make money.
People who do not have enough money to take care of their daily need shouldn't be seen gambling as its not a means or source of making more money, if only they have this mindset and know this I think it will really go a long way helping them cut down on the habit especially if it no longer becoming beneficial to them as the little they have is been taken away from them by the casino.

Gambling shouldn't be seen as a means or a source to get money especially seeing it as a source of income becomes even worse. I even over hear some people seeing it as an investment opportunity and thatnis the height of been unreasonable to a very far extent, if the first know the idea behind gambling which is basically entertainment and fun then I think this will help them redirect and change their mind set.

I do advise people not to spend their last money gambling as that can be considered irresponsible regardless of how sure you are that the game could possibly turn out a winner, sometimes if possible the low class should avoid getting addicted to gambling but sadly they are the most victim of gambling addiction which could possibly get them to ruin. Gambling should be basically for entertainment and only spare Cash should be often used so as to help you keep sanity even if it goes against you.
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?

In a maths view perhaps with a lottery it could make sense to collect numbers.   On the basis knowing which number combinations remain unused will increase the payout.   Like anything if your reward goes up for the same money risked, this is a better rate of return a superior yield.   Anytime you can do a bit of maths, deploy some statistics and probability to earn a few extra bucks its worth doing.
   Ideally a computer would manage all this, just going person to person is not feasible by itself but maths 'genius' have deployed such ideas in the past to a profit, unbelievable but true Smiley

Math can really be a great edge when it comes to playing and betting. It could be useful when you are analyzing the outcomes of a game and making a prediction. You can take advantage of your knowledge for your benefit. Although this will likely workout if you will do it for games that relies on calculation and data rather than being more on luck-based. Statistics and probability come hand-in-hand so math will really be your friend. Discipline will be your friend once you utilize your skills, talent, and knowledge so you won't fall into addiction.

Luck does play a big part in gambling results, wins or losses. For some people, they feel more comfortable in casino games and they play certain games which they know are lucky for them. Some people may gamble on only certain sports as they believe that they usually win when they gamble on football or whatever sports that they feel luck favours them.

These are all beliefs for the gamblers and there is no logic behind it. These beliefs just give them mental satisfaction and nothing else.

Talking about sports betting, they are not things that depend on luck, they depend on the level of knowledge that people can have about a certain game, you can test this to see if sports betting really depends on luck or skills, do the following: choose boxing fights, bet on all fighters from that event, then bet on the ufc and also bet on all fights from the ufc event, then bet on the main football leagues: premier league, la liga, bundesliga and serie A.

After you bet on these sports, watch how you did putting money into all the games and ask yourself: which of the games were you able to get the most information about before the game and that you put money into and won, then you will start to realize that you will be betting on games you don't like, you don't know anything about its rules, you don't know who the favorites are and why they are favorites, you don't know where to get information about the games, and it's something that's not worth it, so you won't bet anymore in games where you don't know anything about them.

and you will start betting on games where you find it easier to have all the data about the games, you like the games, you watch the games and when you do analysis you can get it right. Sports betting has nothing to do with luck, this is the first thing a person should get out of their head, sports betting does not depend on luck, it depends on each person's skills, and this is something that anyone can test. So I hope you don't waste your money betting on games relying on luck. Don't bet on things you don't like and don't know anything about.
Sports betting is typically seen as a game of luck. You're right; its much more. Knowledge, research, and passion. Its like knowing your favorite soccer team's strengths, weaknesses, and strategy.

However, its simple to overdo it. We may debate talent vs. luck all day, but prudent gambling is crucial. Set a limit and follow it. Until then, its fun and games.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket." This applies especially to betting. Why risk what you dont know? Focus on your strengths, learn more, and have fun. Anybody notice how most betting advertising make it look glamorous and exciting? That always seemed misleading, didnt you?
