381  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: People keep asking me to borrow money, some of them for betting on: June 02, 2024, 08:41:43 PM

This is quite upsetting indeed, especially when a person we have never interacted with for a long time then comes to see us and asks us for a loan, even though our relationship was not that close before but with the circumstances a bad person will come on purpose with no shame, I think why didn't he just borrow from the bank, it was much easier for him to ask for a loan, do you often give loans to others who you may not have a close relationship with before, and you know that he is a bad gambler?

It does sound very annoying when someone who has not interacted with us for a long time then comes to see us just to borrow money, it is really annoying and I feel like getting angry at him but maybe we can only keep quiet and think about how to politely refuse so as not to cause an argument.
In our environment, we must have heard or even experienced it because I think it is common in society, but what is certain is that we should not just believe in lending money to other people, it is better not to do it in order to avoid problems such as arguments.
What I normally do if I come in contact with some of my friends is that I completely divert or if possible ignore the whole conversation because if it continues it can lead to you entangling yourself and aslo even making wrong decision just because you don't want to answer a bad name but sometimes answering the bad name just not to get all inconvenient with the person is probably the best way to go about you now borrowing the money from you.

If you ever want to lend someone your money that you are not familiar with then you should be probably know what he or she is into so that you don't go wasting your money by giving it to the fellow because everyone has their use if money and Gambling is the worse of all, borrowing money to a gambler is just like dashing out your money for free.
382  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online casino gambling is more of profit chasers while land base is more of fun on: June 02, 2024, 08:32:26 PM
Even though you can't socialize, anyone can enjoy online casinos because now there are many choices of platforms that provide this and everyone just needs to make a choice for them to try. And I think that with the existence of more services from various platforms for casinos, it won't be a problem if someone doesn't try land-based casinos manually like your uncle did. Because now almost everything can be accessed via a smartphone that has an internet network.

There are risk with landed casino and they are old, just because someone is only gambling through online casino should not mean they are only doing that because of profits. There are many ways to gamble online and still socialize too. We have online community that connects gamblers together and they can discuss with each other and have physical meetings too. Some people are only gambling online because of boredom or as an hobby, they do it because they want to pass time and not only because they want to make money. Online casino to me is more fun than land based casino. Land based casino has limitation but online casino has many games that you can play and if you do not like the current one that you are playing, you can switch to a different game and there are multiple choices to enjoy while in your room.
A perfect example of such casino would be stake.com too because stake has a really fun chat room where users and gamers connect and you will be surprised how active that section is. What you are saying is not bad at all as many people do gamble online because of the fact that they might be really relate bored and wants to catch some cruise while also there are the serious one who feel they can get some quick cash online through the casino too. Be it online casino or land based casino the major thing there is that you get to understand the way you actually do when gambling, because even getting all hyped in the online or land based casino you can still very well lose your funds ok both of them.
383  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: June 02, 2024, 08:27:16 PM
By looking at this situation, the point is that we cannot fully blame Chelsea for Poche's departure now even though this initially happened because of poor communication and cooperation but still we must also know that sacking and resignation are 2 different things so we do not have to fully say that this is Chelsea's fault.
From the beginning, Poche's appointment as coach was doubtful but he did a good job towards the end of the season even though the beginning and middle of the season were not very good in terms of performance.

As I said before, the situation will remain the same as 2 seasons ago where Chelsea will again feel the strength with a new coach who will definitely do a scheme and game that could even be directly different from this season so things like this cannot be changed because after all this is a certainty where when a new coach then there needs to be a situation where a reshuffle is definitely done to make the squad fit the criteria.
I think this is a public lie or worthy of being called out to give the team an image. They said they didn't fire him but the coach resigned.
I don't believe that and in my opinion if Pochettino is fired and management really can't be patient enough to see better progress if Pochettino is given time. So, in a situation like this, of course the situation in the team will change again with the style of a new coach, which may mean that the new coach also needs time to build a stronger squad.

I think that for a team that often changes coaches, the stability of their game tends to be unstable because under a new coach, of course there will be many changes that will be made again. Pochettino previously made big changes by selling a lot of players and he didn't immediately show any prominent changes at the start of the season but he managed to make the team more consistent in the second half of the season. So of course Chelsea new coach Enzo Maresca will also need time to bring about changes and I think if Chelsea management is not patient they will definitely fire him too.
Normally Chelsea has that long tradition of actually selling their coaches if they don't do well and example would be roman abramovich impatient on coaches with the club but since Roman abramovich was forced to sell this club, the new owner has been somehow lenient with coaches because I believe if it was abramovich by now porchettino case would have been something that isn't even worth discussing because I believe he would have sacked ever since so porchettino being sacked or resigning by himself isn't really the main issue as the issue currently now is for the new coach to be able to cope with the pressure that fans have left for that space in the club for the position of the Chelsea coach.

I enjoy betting on sports than any other gamble games, and football to be precise, reason being that here you find more of the fun. Enjoying the games and also making a stake on them is double fun especially when you win you bet while watching the games. I enjoy seating in public viewing centres to watch football games because you tend to find different fan of their respective football team and the way they react to the players performance is quite enjoyable, as it brings the fun in football games. However it's more fun when you bet on your team and then they delivers.
385  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress? on: June 02, 2024, 02:26:28 PM
One thing that I understand about gambling is that there is nothing one can do that will make him win more than he losses. If you track your previous game and think that you have gained experience on that past game, go and bet again with your new experience if it is not your lucky day you will still run at loss.

I only gamble for fun, so there is no need for all that because it wouldn't change anything. This season football matches were big surprises but you know that the strong teams are suppose to win the underdogs. This is gambling for you because it is called try your luck, and are you trying your luck at the right time. This is the question that you need to ask yourself. The bottom line is that no matter how you do to see how you will improve in your winning streak, you will still lose more than you win. So the best thing is to limit your losses by having self control over your gambling activities and know the right time to stop playing.

There is no way one can use his past experience to aid his wining in gambling, the best he can do is to provide a more balanced gambling habit that won't ruin his financial progress, though keeping track of your past bet status is not necessary because there is nothing you can do to bring back the losses but from another point of view you can actually use it to reduce your stakes or amount of bets in a month especially for those who just got into gambling, or who are getting addicted. It essential that we examine ourselves once In a while to check if we are getting addicted unknown to us, because there are several addicted gamblers out there who claims they are gambling for fun without them even knowing that they are actually addicted.

Big Congratulations to Real Madrid it wasn't a easy match they played there, and also Borussia Dortmund played a nice game, they had lots of scoring opportunities but failed to provide a nice finishing, though most of their opportunity were created from counter and they had several one on one with the goal keeper but luck wasn't on their side else they would have made the games to a penalty shootout. Madrid has proven once more that they are indeed the greatest ballers in the European competition, it was a wonder season for them adding the champions league trophy to their league which they ended in the first positions, it shows they are in a good shape. Next season would be a competitive one.
387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not everyone deserves to hear of your winning in gambling. on: June 02, 2024, 01:45:47 PM
If you flex every gambling win you make then the results will be bad in the future, you will only be labeled as an arrogant person and no one will want to approach you, gambling that benefits you is better to just keep it in your heart, don't let it happen. making you the target of many people, especially criminals who want to control your money. There have been many cases where jackpot winners lost their lives due to robbery or murder.

I believe there are some wins that you cannot keep to yourself, even if you decide not to share it, there is a way the joy let's you spill it out. It's not easy to win a long gambling bet a several games that could take up to 3 week and when such happens you might cause a giveaway unintentionally. There is a saying that quick and easy money are usually spent lavishly, and majority of gamblers are guilty of this, and that how people know that they just got lucky even without them saying it out. A gambler playing a round table game cannot keep it all to himself. Though for security reasons it's advisable to keep your winnings to yourself but in some cases only the news spreads itself.
388  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are any of you guys are winning with probably fair games? on: June 02, 2024, 01:32:49 PM
that kind of luck game is like that. but it always becomes interesting when we feel closer to victory. Isn't that what gamblers always feel when playing games of luck? The hope is high to win but the odds will not be as we hope.

casinos are considered fair when they pay out our winnings. there is no cheating in games that are already programmed. If you want a bet that you can see the results of then you have to bet on sports betting.

All gambling games are based on luck including sports gambling, at some point we might feel our knowledge in sport betting would guarantee our continues win from the games, but unfortunately even 1.0 odds could make the entire result from the game to be lost. As long as it's predictions we make, it's luck we are depending on except in cases were Its a know fact out side gambling, but as long as gamble is concerned it's all luck. We often believe casinos aren't fair enough when we are at the loosing side and that could be true because the house is always on the wining side, the programmed games can be very difficult to predict because there is no way to compare the possibility of anything happing in there as all code aren't open source.
389  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: June 02, 2024, 01:19:18 PM
And also yes I quite agree with you that it is very likely that poor people are very likely to misunderstand gambling, most of them will probably think that gambling is the right place or intermediary to get away from poverty

It has been a great notice that the it's difficult to see a wealthy person gamble and loss all his wealth due to addiction, I'm not saying it's not possible but it's rear, and why does it have to be this way? I'll say it's simply because the wealthy has gotten knowledge on wealth management so they are likely to know when to quit or continue in gambling, mind you I didn't use the word rich because, their is a vast difference between a rich and a wealthy person. A wealthy man knows the value of money and acknowledges the process of how it is gotten to keep a sustainable wealth, but a rich man could be a lucky gambler who happens to have won a million value bet, yet he can still go broke by trying to double or make more money of the process of gambling. Majority of poor persons have same mindset as the rich and that's why they often get addicted to gambling.

Honestly, experience plays a good part in football, so even though Dortmund was performing greatly against Real Madrid tonight, I still believe that it was Real Madrid that will win the trophy. Real Madrid is the kind of team that can do surprise things at any time. So before the game started, we were aware that Real Madrid was the favourite team to win the game, unless something unexpected will just happen but I was not even thinking of any surprise in today's final.but the way that Dortmund performed tonight really surprised me because I was not expecting much from them do to their domestic performance statistics; they are not that in great form. If Dortmund had  had good experience attacking attackers today, it could have been a different story we will be discussing now. Real Madrid really deserved it, and that is why they won it. This is another great achievement for them.
While Dortmund were bit unlucky with that the ball hitting the post, I still think even if they scored that goal they probably will still lose because though they started well, it's an obvious fact that Real Madrid do become dangerous as match is about to end and we saw it today as the match goes by they became weaker and Real Madrid became much stronger and got the victory just like most of us expected.
The Europa finals winner was a surprise to me and same with the FA Cup finals, but I was not surprised with the UCL final game as I expected Real Madrid to do it again as the most lucky club in history. It was a miracle that happened in the first half for Real Madrid because the ball hit the bar out and other chances were missed. The moment Dortmund was unable to make use of their chance, I knew it that they will not be able to win Real Madrid.

This is because if you have lost your chances those opportunities will turn around to your opponents and if they don't miss their, you are defeated. This was what happened, I knew it that if Real Madrid should have a good opportunity to net the post just as Dortmund had in the first half, they will score theirs, and that was what played out in the second half.

Congratulations to Real Madrid.
Losing of chances doesn't automatically guarantee the opposite team winners because I have seen cases of teams losing all their chances and at the end result they still became winners but for this game I felt Dortmund actually just can't match the likes and quality playing of Real Madrid although the first half of the game was a bit shocking tough because Dortmund never actually showed that killler  instincts of showing that they really mean business. Real Madrid didn't come out all up against Dortmund in the first half maybe that was all part of plan as they executed plan which worked very well.

As you already hold a copper membership I would have expected a beautiful ANN by you guys. But the that is not present and the way you have presented your casino doesn't look attractive. The team should really consider a redesign on the announcement page so that it gives a professional impression to everyone who is active in the Gambling board.
Well I think "welcome back" should be the right entitlement to say because this casino isn't a new casino at all, they have here working ever since and they have even ran a signature campaign here in the forum of which I could remember vividly that rosye777 now know as AB de Royse777 was their actual campaign manager. They left the forum and maybe because of other things but it's all Still good to see you guys up and running again.

I read on Punch that it has dumped 90% already. It is better you avoid this token.

It is nothing new more than Davido and the developers behind this will make money from people. The price will then fall and people will complain.

This is a pump and dump project, it's a scam project. I deleted the first thread and you created it again. I'm locking this thread. Stay away from it.
I am seeing it all over the news, even I saw it on a an article on Binance. Be it scam project or not, it is better to leave it without deleting it. Make it obvious it is a pump and dump project is better than deleting what can be educative for people to avoid it.
Yeah I suppose you are right, some information here can be very helpful especially with cases like this that the whole society can be mislead into thinking that this particular shit ass project is worth putting into , the worse part of this project is that because of his famous and over popularity as a musical and social media star a lot of people would be moved already to get their selfs involved in buying the coins especially people with low level mentality about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin at a large.
394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: June 01, 2024, 09:47:25 PM
Well said. Taking a break after a loss is one of the best decision made by any gambler which gives him time to refresh again and not bound by losses. I believe that every gambler have a risk tolerance level, of which losses that the gambler is willing to incur is limited, and there is room to quit, understanding the fact that there is always another day. Provided the gambler is still acting within his level in line with the money allocated for gambling that day, I don't see it as a bad idea for him to keep gambling till exhaustion.
In essence aligning with our set rules, risk tolerance level,  moderation and discipline will always shade us from undesirable situations in gambling.

Imo having a break after losses just the best idea , because as a human whenever we are making losses we will began to lose our composure, and our emotions will gradually start to overwhelm us . And  doing such moment the chances of making more losses is pretty high because, the gambler will no longer be thinking straight again he or she will start taking reckless risk inorder to hit the jackpot and get back what they have loss.
On the moment that you would really be losing then you would really be on such condition that you would really be having that kind of mindset that you should really be playing more for you to be able to recover those loses on which this is really that a very wrong mindset to have. At the moment that you do find yourself on such condition then moderation or control would really be that hard.
This is why gamblers do really loses up even more money just because they do lose control and this is something that you should really be needing up to consider because if you do find yourself that being too impulsive and aggressive in gambling then sooner or later you would be finding yourself that sleeping on the streets. Is this something that you would like to happen? For sure you wont.
The rush to play vigorously with your betting is actually triggered by lose and as a gambler who doesn't know how to control this loses then I can just simply say you are definitely one step closer to your doom because nothing ever comes out good from a gambler that doesn't know how to thought control their losing thirst because at the instances of you losing the only thing that takes place in our thought is that we can always get the funds back which is a very big lie that some gamblers tell themselves and sometimes if you are not careful you get to even loan some stuffs to continue chasing the loses , so what I advice in Gambling is that whenever you gamble and you lose always accept it wth Good faith.
395  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in match fixing? on: June 01, 2024, 09:35:01 PM
I believe that match-fixing may happen and it is known to everyone a lot of person (players) get punished for their activities on match-fixing. Anyone on the team might be engaged in match-fixing whether it is player or management of the team, coach, or so on.
Not that it may happen it actually does happen alot and I believe there have been countless times in which all these little cases of match fixing have come to light and even being punished by the bodies responsible to take actions for such ill habits. Sometimes these match fixing normally occur in the lower leagues of some countries so as to avoid attention and audience to what they do, although I have always been confused in the benefits involved maybe they used it for high staking power since they are actually the one's controlling the wins and losses.
396  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greediness or Addiction -which one is more disastrous? on: June 01, 2024, 08:58:50 PM
Well, greediness is not the only thing that exists or is actually experienced in gambling. No matter where we are in relation to money, greediness is always around. It's really up to us if we keep it in our thoughts and adopt it to apply to our character.

The only thing that is usually really useful is that there is too much greed in the gambling category because most of the gambling players are small, hoping that they will get a lucky jackpot that they think will happen to them who also got the jackpot prize in gambling instant wealth. That's it.
I don't know what you mean by saying the gambling players are small because am certain that opposite it is the case when it comes to the numbers of gamblers out there. What I feel is the cause is just based on the fact that every gambler just wants to have a piece of the luck that maybe must have gotten to some else because from my observations the quickest way for a story to be spread is when someone actually won some huge amount of money, believe me it takes no second for the whole thing to reflect or reach the ears of the entire world.

People are attracted to other people winnings and for me this is not greedy as it's a normal thing for people to get inspired by their winnings but the only issue now is that they would be know when they want to stop and start.
397  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: June 01, 2024, 08:46:39 PM
The score is still at 0-0, Madrid looks very dominant in possession of the ball, but so far Ancelotti squad has only been able to get off one shot on target. Dortmund appeared more organized, making it difficult for Madrid to create many opportunities, but the overall course of the match was quite entertaining. The tempo of the game was not too aggressive in the first half, but both looked more aggressive in the second half. Both teams will maximize their potential to create goals, it is possible that this match will continue into extra time.

Meanwhile, the match has now been running for almost 70 minutes, the two coaches have not yet rotated their players, I think either Ancelotti or Edin Terzic will definitely do it. If the winner had to be determined through a penalty shootout, then the chances for both teams would be the same, even though personally I think victory would still be in favor of Madrid. We'll see how this match ends, usually Madrid will appear to press when the match is almost over.
I am scared for Dortmund because this is the same pattern Madrid is using for several teams in the final and this is the same thing they did to Manchester City in the Quarter finals.

I am impressed with Dortmund performance, they are pressing very hard and have created several chances which has lead to 12 shots with four on goals, while Madrid so far have only 6 shots with one shots on goal.
The match is about ending, we have just 10 minutes to go; can we have a winner before the end of the first 90 minutes?
Or are we going for extra time; Inknow Madrid is good in the last minutes and can give us a surprise at the end.
Well Boom!!! You weren't wrong as they have actually scored and have taken the lead courtesy of cavarjal and Toni Kross with the assist so now it's currently 1-0 in favor of Real Madrid the supposed champions and also the favorite in this same fixture. Real Madrid have planned the whole set up very well and it took them just two attacks on target and they made sure it counted as their goal which is the most important thing in football even more important than the so called beautiful football that people play, I am of the believe that a gameplay is only calked beautiful when there is a backup of goals to it and Madrid have done that over Dortmund.
398  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Becomes of Gambling if Sport book is taken away. on: June 01, 2024, 08:39:30 PM
First of all, I don’t think it is possible for government to banned football and other game activities because of some issues, or they can only reduce the popularity and put some rules on it that would definitely not affect everyone and it will affect in a little way, but it won’t be much. There is some things that the government can never banned but it will be possible for rules to be imposed in the gambling or any betting activities just to avoid problems that comes out of it and it’s really affect the country or maybe they are not being tax

For me one of the reasons why I feel the gambling industry will be immune to their ban is actually because in some way they are also very big benefits to the profits that comes out from the casino or gambling sites because it would be share stupidity to actually hold or restrict something that's also very beneficial to you one way or the other so the gambling industry is definitely going to stay here for a very long time. Football betting if you ask me drives the heart of all these other sports events and also digs a lot of cash and revenue from there so the decision will be fucking hard except they don't give benefits or they defaulted and they refused to pay the fine.

Woah 😲😲 I guess it's over for Dortmund now as vinicius makes it 2-0 and that will certainly seal the deal for a job well-done atleast they have proven to the world that they are indeed the kings and champions of the champions league title.
399  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: June 01, 2024, 08:11:58 PM
Oh damn those Madrid defenders got me heart attack
Exactly mate, Dortmund just lost two great chances that was suppose to be a goal, the first was by Adeyemi had a one on one with Coutua and he missed it. Second chance hit the bar. Dortmund is pressuring seriously to break the deadlock but lucky is denying them from having a goal.

Real Madrid is doing all the playing with no good chance of finding the back of the net, but i believe that if they have a chance they will score. Dortmund game strategy is as if it wants to outsmart Real Madrid game pattern. No team should be underrated in a final game.
The first half ended and there were indeed some very good chances by Dortmund in the first half this time fortunately Courtois was still quite alert in carrying out his duties in his first debut and directly in the final this season after a long absence due to the injury he suffered.

The first half was a little monotonous for Madrid although in the early minutes they managed to kick off with possession and some quick attacks but in the middle of the first half Dortmund started to take over the rhythm of the match and the few chances they managed to get were very good.

But I don't want to be too surprised by Madrid's game because they are usually like this and the second half is a fixed price because surely Ancelotti will make some changes to the scheme that cannot even be expected because seeing from what Madrid always do usually the second half they always become like a different club and Dortmund still have to prepare for that surprise. But so far Dortmund have been really good in the first half and we need to appreciate that.
Real Madrid for more than many times they have shown that they are very flexible with their performance in the sense that they can be played by the opposite team in the first with very good football at that then during the second half the whole scene will change with the twinkle of an eye and that's what I expect these boys to come out and play during the second half. I am very sure Carlo ancelotti is going to address some major places that needs improvement because if the game continues like in the second half the we might actually see Dortmund take up some kind of lucky goal since they are the ones with the more dangerous threat at goal.

Even those who lose money all the time never accept that they are exactly persons which may be characterized as losers in the eyes of others who were never involved into gambling. Commonly they don't like complicated things and prefer to think that gambling is precisely for making money and proceed to the next casinos pit being more eager to try next game.
The thing is that every known gambler must experience the effect of losing money be it that you are classed a professional gambler or not, losing of money while gambling is a must and most person don't know this and that's why anytime they lose they take it all personal and try very hard to even meet up with the winning back of the money they have lost and many of them become very unsuccessful at it , making them coarse through the act of actually being an addict.

For me, the losses in gambling is always place somewhere in my thoughts and in no reason or cause am I to go back and actually try to get back money that I have already lost before, from the onset of playing the mentality is always "what is lost is lost".
