3841  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Olympic Games, but doping is allowed?! on: August 06, 2023, 05:54:46 PM
And this happens because athletes take their bodies to the utmost limits, and if they have some unknown disease or condition then they can literally drop dead on the field, an image we have unfortunately see many times during our lives, so if doping was allowed the number of cases like that will increase dramatically, as in their attempts to be the very best they can be athletes will push the limits of their bodies and develop all kind of short and long term diseases.
Aren't there medical checks before such drugs are taken? If not, the management should be responsible for what happens to the players if there is a reaction or something due to the drug taken to enhance the player's abilities, because they are the ones who should be checking all these things if they are allowing and making their players take the drugs so that they can perform much better than their normal selves and that they manage to win the games.

Though I am totally against this thing of allowing players to openly use ability-enhancing drugs only to make the games more interesting, I still feel if something happens to the players, the management should be taken responsible for that since they should do medical check-ups before allowing a player to take drugs.
In theory yes, if doping was allowed then doctors should keep a close watch on the athletes and the reactions they have to the medicines they take to improve their performance, but at the same time it is not as if we can predict perfectly what will be the effects on a person after taking a drug, while at the same time some heart conditions are very difficult you detect, and when we add that many athletes will probably take drugs on their own without consulting their doctors then this could create the perfect storm for a lot of accidents to happen.

Well, in that you are absolutely right, with the amount of medications that there are, it is very likely that a person who takes them without knowing how their body is internally, does not know what side effect it brings, sometimes there are people who self-edit and they do better. al, when it comes to performance enhancing drugs, the heart is the one that sets the tone, we can't take something that can speed it up more than normal, there are different types of hearts, the other day I started talking to a cycling coach He told me that he had to include a common athlete that we knew, but according to what he said, it is that when they did the medical exams his heart was not adequate, that is, he did not have the heart to be a cyclist.

When he told the mutual friend, he told him to make an exception, that he was going to train, and since my friend is not a bad person, despite everything he did, he began to train him, but when he left with the team in the peloton, his performance in particular started to go down, he was not at the level, even though he lasted at least 6 months training, he always kept up, he choked a lot, he could not be at the level of the big climbs that yes, my friend really did not he could cope with the level that others had and that frustrated him but he ended up accepting that even the type of cyclist's heart has very particular characteristics, now if a person like that, who has those foods or that particular condition, if you dope? what would happen ? It would endanger his life, and that's what drugs do.

In addition to where the idea of legalizing drugs or doping in the Olympic Games came from , which is something so Sacred, so clean in sport , whoever comes to the Olympic Games is because they have been working on it all their lives , I see that as something so unique , so hard to achieve , because any athlete is not capable of doing everything so perfectly to come to represent their Country , and if they Legalize doping then anyone who starts practicing a sport will arrive easily because the Simple fact of Drugs make the body do things that it normally can't sometimes do.

I did the same and even bet on Alex Morgan to score but it was a bust.
Portugal's defense was quite good because of the many chances USA got on the other hand, I also like the performance of Pereira and Portugal players who dare to play the ball more than USA in this match.
The second half could have gone Portugal's way if Ana Capeta's shot hadn't hit the bar but unfortunately it ended in a scoreless tie.
With this, the Netherlands are firmly at the top of Group E as they won easily against Vietnam.

It was really a shame for Portugal to leave the World Cup, despite having played well. But, they should have played more against Holland. If Portugal had played a match like the one they played against the USA, maybe now they would still be in the competition.

But, for a team that was at the Worlds for the first time, you just have to leave with pride, and keep working to progress even further.
Congratulations "Navegantes" (Nickname of the Portuguese women's football team).  Wink


In turn, I expected a little more from the US. Are they saving up for the rest of the competition?

Well, to tell the truth, it hurt me a lot that Portugal left, I think the way they believed was very premature. It's the first time in a World Cup, but there's no denying that they did a good job, I've seen some matches, I really like the job they did, now the Colombian team has me on the edge, they've really done it very good, I liked how they beat Germany because the Germans showed exquisite football and things were not given this time, but I think the Colombian team is doing wonderfully , I like that a Latin American team is shining in this world.

Although Sweden women's players are performing well on the field, the USA women's team is the best offensively. The USA Women's team has had the most attacks in attacks so far in the current half. Although neither team was successful in attacking, in that case I can say that the team that can attack more after half time will be the winning team today. And if we want to score today, we will have to attack the hardest because the defenders of both teams are very strong and hard working players. But usa is attacking the most i think USA can win because also much ahead in attack.
They are now waiting to play penalties and I would have not imagined this.USA is one of the best teams in women soccer and I am surprised at how great Sweden was in holding up against them.Now the penalties are just a lottery and any team can pass but I think it would be a huge surprise the USA elimination from the tournament.The fact that USA didn't score means that now they can suffer the unwritten law of football which is "when you don't score you will concede or if you don't you will risk it all in sudden death (penalties".The odd was great for Sweden to have a draw and I was afraid of them because I thought USA would crush them.
Today as match was going in first half I was really surprised with the performance of the Sweden team because this was beyond my expectations as USA playing aggressively I was expecting good number of goals but nothing happen, and they have to face penalties which was surely not good because in today match luck was not near their quality and performance which eliminate them from the event in round of 16 on eight penalties which is surely sad new for the world no 1 team and their fans because before start of this event there were expectations about them to have spot into last two, but now we have top two teams out before any serious note.

I'm not surprised about Sweden and the USA, because I've always liked how the girls from Sweden play, Sweden is also a very soccer country and the girls play very well, also the USA have good technique, they didn't lose so badly, a taking a penalty or going out for a penalty is not so embarrassing, also what surprises me here is that Colombia has been advancing a lot, the South Americans have done a great job and that is something that I like a lot, because they have already beaten Jamaica and eliminated to Brazil and that's not just anything, the Cololmbnioanas have eliminated the Germans and it's not just any thing, the German girls have a great team and that makes things in this World Cup go in a direction that nobody expected.

Everyone is surprised by the USA, but what? This is normal, this is soccer, many expected the USA to wipe out Sweden, but it was not like that, I liked this result and it is proof that this World Cup things are on another level.

United States' World Cup dynasty ends along with myth of supremacy



Quote
MELBOURNE, Aug 6 (Reuters) - The United States came to the Women's World Cup bullish about their chances of winning an unprecedented third consecutive title but their round-of-16 exit at the hands of Sweden showed their campaign was built more on hope than substance.

After back-to-back World Cup triumphs under Jill Ellis in 2015-19, Vlatko Andonovski's efforts to regenerate the four-times champions will be judged a failure in the wake of their 5-4 loss on penalties in Melbourne on Sunday.

Well, things are over for the USA, I am surprised by the large amount of news about this, they have only focused on rating, they do not praise the work of other teams, I think that the women's world championship was not just USA, things are now focused in another direction, it seems excellent to me, because here it is shown that the players who are considered very favorites and very monsters also fall, sometimes fame makes that weigh heavily on the athletes and that is why it is very surprising worldwide, all the women who had so much seniority and now are here with a total loss, it's not that the penalties are bad, it's that Sweden did their job well and did not allow or let themselves be discouraged by fame or by the ocentarios or by everything that influences on social networks, they played and that's it, they won in the right way and my congratulations to the Swedish team , and the USA will be for another opportunity.

Online gambling platform is very big and even bigger than the physical casino halls. And the competition is very high in online. Now that almost all the Android phones and desktops/laptops can be used to browse and play games online, everyone one is using this technology to gamble and if they manage to visit the physical casino center it is to print out their slips and other minor things they might not do it in their phones. Online betting make things easier for gamblers to enjoy.

Yes, in fact online casinos now with many in the world are very competitive, the advances are evident and a lot can be expected from it, of course we can always focus on the best things they can offer, play on the phone, pc Wherever it is one of the things that we have as facilities, some of the app lovers also have them, all this to be more competitive, the online casino business will always be profitable, there are many things, from their contests, from their bonuses and everything associated with it, it is good to keep in mind that the most famous casinos are the ones that most comply with their players.

Now, as I said, casinos have always had a lot of competition, because there are many that have been created, and of course, there are many casinos that are more famous than others, most of them are more famous because they are old and that is something obvious. , not only because of age, I think that we as players should see that the best casinos are the ones that give us the most confidence, that we can deposit with the peace of mind that the casino will not steal those funds, that they respect our style of play and that they always support us when we have a rpobelma, the support of each casino is the image of the casino , therefore , they should Always give us a quick solution to what we are looking for, I have seen that the best casinos have support that gives an almost immediate solution and also there is the competition, in offering the best for the players.

As a player I always pay attention to something very clear in casinos, first of all it is trustworthy, safe when making a deposit and especially withdrawing money, if Ann has a thread on bitcointalk.org it is much better for me because Trust is reviewed and I am very confident in it, on the other hand the best high-level casinos are here, stake.co, bitcasino.io , sportsbet.io , Roobet, duelbits, among others that are Highly trusted and are not received complaints about scams or something, well there will Always be trolls who do or try to tarnish your good work , but that doesn't Matter.
3844  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lets Discuss All Casino/Gambling Related Movies Here on: August 06, 2023, 04:42:53 PM
There was a movie with Mel Gibson (back when he was still a good actor) about a poker tournament on a riverboat. The plot of the film was in the style of an American western, and if my memory serves me correctly, I believe Jodie Foster played a supporting role and there was another older dude who turned out to be the father of Gibson's character. Does anyone know the name of that movie? I remember finding it quite amusing, but then again, at that time, I enjoyed all Mel Gibson movies.  Cheesy


I think the movie that you are talking about, the name of the movie is Maverick. It was released in 1994. I have seen some parts of the movie on youtube. I just remembered the name of the movie based on your description. I am still not exactly sure though. But I am pretty confident that this is the movie. And yes, in Maverick, Jodie Foster played a supporting role. I am not a big fan of movies, to be honest.

In my life, I have only seen a few marvel movies, DC movies where Ben Affleck and/or Christian Bale was the Batman, and some very popular movies, like Interstellar, Inception, blood diamond. I did see the whole series of John Wick, terminator, Rocky, die hard and Mission impossible. I have seen a few older movies like Shawshank redemption, American Psycho. some Christopher Nolan movies as well. So I have not seen too many movies outside the most popular ones to be honest.
I did see that movie when it was released I remember that I was little, I was barely 10 years old and I really liked that movie, it's very good. Maverick in that movie was a player who always won and he was always looking for a card, that is, the card he imagined a particular card and he tried to draw it, there is a great scene in that one and it marks the movie very well, and he is a player who always wins because he learns a lot of the gestures that the other players do, this is something I really like, you can learn a lot from that movie, it is something that obviously shows.

When there are poker movies or Black Jack it's always good to see them because you learn a lot, at least in 21 to count, in poker a lot of techniques of course, even if it's only a movie but I know they recreate scenarios that have really happened.

The best thing one can get from movies is learning, that's what you have to get, now among the movies out there, I really like the one about Black Jack, which deals with a boy who is very good at math and is close to to that facility of earning money in Las Vegas to be able to pay for his medical degree, it is very good, I do not see things that are so fanciful, in fact the casinos in Las Vegas really show them as they are, when someone tries to get more money from them ( playing legal) they don't like it and some of the things are revealed or rather, they do so they don't return to their facilities.

In the approach they give is with black jack only with 1 deck, that is, 54 cards and they play with those so it is easier to count because the control is better, I don't know if they do things like that in those casinos or mix all the cards with other decks.

I have seen that there are many casino movie projects , also with crypto Technology such as bitcoin that I find very interesting , the ones about casinos that I like to see are those movies that I have seen , there are also more about Casinos and Games but They don't have much to do with the Strategies of the games, but rather they are focused on robbing casinos and leaving them bankrup , but that's something else.
3845  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is Gamble gaining more fans than Bitcoin? on: August 06, 2023, 04:24:53 PM
People are more interested in gambling than Bitcoin. Although gambling has more ricks than investing in bitcoins, people are developing a form of gambling addiction. If you are involved in gambling then you will have the possibility of both profit or loss but if you invest in bitcoin you will definitely have profit but you have to wait for long time to get that profit. Of course in gambling you don't have to wait long to get that profit but if you invest in gambling then your capital will likely be zero but in case of Bitcoin your worth will never be zero.

It is still not guaranteed that if ever you do gambling, you will gain profit in a short period of time because we know that gambling is for fun and not for profit, and most of the time you'll lose. Unlike investment, you have a higher chance of gaining profit, but again, it takes time. The reasons really why people go into gambling are the thrill and fun of it, though that doesn't mean that investing is not fun; it is just kind of like saying that playing basketball is more fun than reading and studying.


Well, I really doubt that Bitcoin lovers prefer the game more than Bitcoin itself, Bitcoin is much bigger, and I think there is no dispute, that bitcoin and casinos can be associated because Bbitcoin also represents money, but betting is bigger, betting cannot be bigger, bitcoin also represents more than being able to play, it is money, it is investment, it is market speculation, and all this is from a long time ago, in fact bitcoin has made casinos grow their business even more and that is something that cannot be denied, now we can compare who bets has more followers than bitcoin does not.

Things when it comes to bitcoin since it has a somewhat large value compared to some years that was 300usd 5000usd $10k, $20k, $30k and even a large ath, all of that is daring, if they have come to make comparisons, analogies with Bitcoin and Gold, so the fact that casinos have grown so much is thanks to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, because casinos have seen huge growth in volume and everything.

When we begin to evaluate, when we want to play in a crypto casino, the transactions are faster, there is no bank or government entity that tells us yes or no, no, we make the transaction and that's it, instead with that money if the transactions are through transfers, there may be a risk that it does not arrive immediately or it stays there waiting for the transfer, many things can happen, on the other hand with bitcoin or any cryptocurrency it arrives at once, right now many players do not care what I like it is that they are asking for KYC, but it is the only thing, whether or not it comes from regulation, surely nobody likes it.

When I think about casinos, the first thing that at least comes to my mind is that if the casino accepts crypto or other cryptocurrencies, I don't know, but it is easier for me than a casino that uses fiat money, in particular it is It is easier to use crypto and bitcoin than fiat money due to all the rules that exist , in bitcoin the profits or erpdedidas are at once, and if fast money is needed, a simple withdrawal is made and in a matter of seconds our btc is in our wallet, for me that is all that matters, in fiat money it is not like that, but in general terms the casino and this industry have gained more followers because Bitcoin lovers see this type of fun, but therefore bitcoin is the that has Undoubtedly Opened the doors.

These rumors are spread by those who know nothing about football, but nevertheless a very funny rumor  Grin
As for the secret agreement between Real Madrid and Mbappe, either it is completely legal, or it is really secret and PSG can complain anywhere, but they have no evidence, so their complaints will remain empty words. If it were otherwise, we would have already seen specific accusations and not whining spread through 3rd parties.
Sometimes rumors are exaggerated or exaggerated by someone who doesn't know the original story even though we ourselves, who are often here reading all the news, dont necessarily know the truth of every rumor that is here and I am a little surprised if the Kylian Mbappe problem is linked to Real Madrid mistakes, that very ridiculous .
Even though Real Madrid are not really after this player, they are waiting for Kylian Mbappe to become a free agent or if not Paris SG lowers the contract price, but I admit that it is possible between Real Madrid and Paris SG and Kylian Mbappe to negotiate, but that does not mean that this is Real Madrid fault.
A little surprised by the rumors that are always exaggerated like this which makes me laugh a little loudly reading it

The problem with these rumors, which have been appearing in various variations lately, is not that their information is not true, but that they are fundamentally wrong. PSG cannot sell Mbappe anywhere without his will. PSG can't sell Mbappe at all - they can only agree to a forfeit if Mbappe moves to another club before the end of the contract. But in the rumors, Mbappe is described as a slave who can be sold anywhere.
Kylan mbappe is not just any player but a world class player that won't be push or forced to go play for an inferior league because of money or unwilling, my statement is in regards to the rumors that PSG accepted an all time bid from a Saudi league that was said to be turned down by him, of course no player of such quality as young as he is would leave a club competing for a  high level European tournament to go play for in league that's developing recently without and major trophy or competition
 I don't think any amount of money would persuade mbappe to move to any teams that's not participating in the Champions League competition, it's either he moves to any top European team before the transfer window ends or remains in his current team and challenged for the champions league tittle until his contract expires next season but there's rumors that's he's secretly in talks with Realmadrid and has has and agreement secretly, if the rumors turns true and he moves to the Spanish gaints then that would very beneficial to both side and would help him in his career.

Yes, they have also said the same thing, but those rumors that he will go to Madrid have always been there, I really doubt that he will go to Madrid, and he wants to go there, but when he had the opportunity he rejected it because of " money" and now that if he wants to leave, he's striking out, but that's his own fault, now Madrid doesn't want to pay that amount of money, that's why they say out there that you can't miss opportunities in life, because those will never come back, now if they accept him again at Real Madrid it's because Mbappé has a very big Angel, it's the only way he can get in, otherwise I doubt it.

Mbappe's transfer saga will remain a hot topic of conversation in society. I'm pretty sure, it will be difficult for the drama of the Mbappe transfer saga to find a win-win solution. because, IMO, this is a matter of ego and the image of the club itself. Mbappe is adamant not to renew his contract, and stays with PSG until his contract expires. while PSG, do not want to let him go with free agent status.
obviously, would be a huge loss for them. it's not only a matter of how much they spend on Mbappe, it's also about Financial Fair Play. if in the end Mbappe stays, then he is ready to accept the consequences of not playing at all. I'm not sure if the club will allow him to have game time.

Mbappe won't renew the contract that's for sure. And he wants to stay with PSG until next season. PSG management is not willing to keep Mbappe in the team. But Mbappe is forced to stay with PSG until next season. So far we have known Mbappe as selfish. But now we see that he is quite greedy and shameless. I feel bad saying these things to a talented player like Mbappe. But it is true. There is no doubt that Mbappe is an excellent player. I myself really like Mbappe's gameplay. But he is not good as a person. If Mbappe stays with PSG, Luis Enrique probably won't include him in his XI. Mbappe will likely be on the bench for the entire season. I think it's a shame for any star player.
If he had more financial greed, he might not have turned down the offer from the Saudi League. Turning down the Saudi League offer proves he is not greedy for money, but behavior with PSG proves Mbappe is greedy for money. If Mbappe had considered his move to Real Madrid one of the reasons he would never have waited to become a free agent, he would have changed teams this season. If he changes his team this season he will have to pay the transfer fee so he will not change his team this season. He will leave the club to join Real Madrid when his contract with PSG expires next season.

Things in particular when it comes to Mbappé are very complicated, I had said that he is a very complicated player, greedy and capricious bvasnatte, he must learn that when things cannot be done, they cannot be done and he has to be a little more professional , I had already realized that this type of thing had come about when he found out about that famous list that Neymar discovered where he wanted to get rid of many players at that time, and among those was Neymar, from that moment it seemed very unfair on his part of him and it seems to me that Mbappé is a person who did not know how to appreciate all the power that the sheikh was giving him, because in no club had I seen so many liberties that a player was given.

Some Madridistas do not want Mbappé to go to Madrid because they know that he will bring problems to the squad, more than anything because of his ego, in a short time the player will want to be wanting to command and that will not stop there, then problems will start, and that It is not good for any team, just think about the hell that Messi lived through and we do not know if it was orchestrated by Mbappe and his brother, we do not know what happened, fortunately Messi went to football where what he has is fun and more tranquility .

Mbappé is very much needed by Madrid because things can go very well there in being the perfect substitute for Benzema, but of course in terms of personalities, the kitten Benzema was something else, another type of person who never looked for a problem, in fact he was one of the darlings of Ancelotti and Florentino Pérez , I hope that next season, even if there is a lot of need, they will not hire Mbappé, I am sure that Madrid will get ahead without him, there are many more players who have quality, who will gradually show themselves, in addition much younger and who do not reject Madrid, here the Frenchman's mistake was to have rejected Madrid in the first instance, for the next season, many things can change, priorities and sells change , as well as Florentino Pérez's way of thinking .

Football transfer news and rumours: PSG to make Mbappe decision next week; Premier League giants make major signings



Quote

The Kylian Mbappe transfer saga has taken a new turn as it has been reported that his current club Paris Saint-Germain is set to take the final decision on the attacker early next week. Mbappe, who is heavily linked with Real Madrid, has refused to sign a contract extension with PSG where his contract ends in 2024.

It has been reported that Mbappe has already struck a deal with Real Madrid and would move to the club after becoming a free agent in 2024. PSG, however, want to cash in on the player and don’t want him to leave for free.

Football transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that PSG will in the next week take a decision on Mbappe’s training and inclusion in matchdays.


“There were new rumours on Saturday that Paris Saint-Germain are prepared to bench or even exclude Kylian Mbappe from their squad for the first games of the new season; whilst also continuing their current plan of making the superstar train away from the main group of players,” Romano wrote in his Daily Briefing column.

“What I have been told is that a decision on how to proceed with Mbappe, with regard to training and including him in matchday squads, will be made early next week – probably on Monday.

“There is still tension between all parties involved as over recent days PSG tried to convince Mbappe to sign a new contract by including in the deal a specific sale clause for the summer of 2024; an offer the player once again rejected as the plan is still to leave for free next year.”

Mbappe is currently training away from the PSG main squad and also did not travel on the tour to Japan.

Well, they are also saying that the Frenchman is looking for a house in Madrid, I really don't understand it, because this suggests that he already has something assured in Madrid, that in my personal opinion he is already taking all this to another level and without even having anything certain with Madrid, things for the Frenchman have been strange, he does not want to accept going to another team unless it is on loan so that he can become a free agent next season and thus have to Going to Madrid for free, this is something he has to do, but as I said before, I don't know if Madrid wanted him at that moment or not.

here the rumor:



Quote
Kylian Mbappe’s future looks like being resolved this summer, following Paris Saint-Germain’s decision to put him up for sale over his decision not to sign a new contract at the club.

Mbappe’s current deal expires next summer, and despite Real Madrid having preferred to wait to sign him for free, it looks like they will be making their move before the end of this summer’s transfer window.

According to Marca journalist Ramon Alvarez de Mon, those close to Mbappe are already looking at properties in Madrid in anticipation of a move to the Spanish capital.

Well, apparently everything is in the hands of Madrid for the future of the Frenchman, things can be seen in another way as long as Madrid is not going to turn its back on him, just as Mbappé did when he chose between the Madrid and PSG that without any regrets the Frenchman chose PSG, these things are what the Frenchman has to think about, nothing is certain in this life, only that Mabppé has to take things calmly and not get ahead of the facts, The next 10 days will be crucial for the future with this player, who personally would not want him to be in Madrid, he is not Needed.

A gambler should be aware of the laws regarding gambling in their country so they do not get in trouble. Wanting to gamble ignorantly without any idea of the status of gambling laws in your country is not a smart move because ignorance of the law is not an excuse in court of law.

In Brazil, gambling is prohibited, but online sports betting is not included in the category of gambling, therefore it continues to be allowed due to the existence of a "grey area" in the law, since at the same time it is not prohibited there is also no regulation.

And just as in other countries, in Brazil we also have a lot of advertising for sports betting being broadcast in stadiums and on television, but the government is consequently losing a lot in tax collection because it is not able to tax them properly due to the lack of a regulation in this sector.

But, as in the entire internet of a free country, it is not possible to easily ban foreign betting sites, so everything is "free" here, even gambling in general.
Well, the truth is, I didn't know that in Brazil they had this restriction, in Venezuela they also had casinos closed for more than 20 years, and after direct negotiations with the current government they reopened them, so these things are what should never have existed, casinos are funny, there should be no restrictions, in Venezuela during those 21 years online casinos could not bet, because the government was not so interested in prohibitions, they know that casinos represent money, business, so these things learned that the doors should not be closed However, while that ban was in force, clandestine casinos were always generated, and when they were discovered they all went to jail, both the owners and the players, and now things have changed and that's for the best.

Now, there is something that does not add up to me, it happens that in the USA there are many restrictions, for online casinos and for exchanges, the USA is a country with so many freedoms, because many people from other countries go to the USA looking for the freedoms that they have there and what they do is that all that is prohibited, I can't say anything about Las Vegas, because in Las Vegas it's something else that lives there, but for the rest of those things that I've seen there are prohibitions, of made since 2019 in Binance they are fighting to be allowed to operate with them, in the part of online casinos they also have many restrictions, at least stake.us is the casino that they can operate with great confidence and security, it is an advantage that stake.com has standing out worldwide and reaching all corners of the world.

In particular, the beliefs that people have about casinos are many, some see it as bad, I don't understand it, it's something that I think has never been squared, however, in that country they have their rules and regulations that I still don't understand, and That causes discomfort for many players, traders, because they should have those freedoms, after all, they are entertainment that people seek to have a good time and I think that's what it's all about.

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

If a person gamble and at the end of the game he starts to feel remorse is that a good thing or should the person be on alert?
it is painful when one losses game even though he didn't express himself out. But he might tell his friends that the game that he loss was painful and some would encouraged him. Gamblers that didn't not feel that way are not much. Those who are playing for fun feel that pain because they are not expected to loss perpetually. It is when you win and loss that make the gambling more interesting.
But coming to the demo account, you don't have to be worry when using demo account because you loss nothing. Though you will feel small remorse but when you realize that it is demo then you pick courage and play again.

Well, the truth is, I had not seen that use that can be given to demo accounts, I think they are great, the truth is that I see demo accounts so that you can learn everything related to the platform, I don't see it any other way, of course Knowing how it is used, how and when a button or a functionality is not useful, but it is true, in fact when I play any game what I do is concentrate on learning more, not on applying the strategies and see how it goes, but it is a A very good option, because you already get a good experience with the game and well, the best thing is that if you can lose, it doesn't matter, it's play money, that makes you have more experience when playing with real money.

When we play with real money things can look hard, because every mistake in the game is a hard deduction of money, and nobody likes their money to disappear, it is unpleasant, but in this case if a person plays with their If you have a demo, you lose, it's already more responsibility if you decide to lose everything in that game because you acquired an experience that you didn't have before, then there shouldn't be so much remorse, because you would play without applying intelligence but only applying emcoins, sometimes in the game you have to playing more with reason than with emotions is very difficult to achieve, because it is something that is really difficult, but it is possible.

When we are in a casino it is always good to take advantage of every facility that the casino offers, be it a demo account, be it fictitious money, all of this must be taken advantage of so that later when playing with real money there is no complaint, that it was not made this or that because I had no way, because that's what the twenty demo was for, so there are no excuses, and obviously the feeling of remorse would be almost completely minimized, which is quite unpleasant to go through.

The private clause looks like a big load of bullshit. I think both clubs just came to an agreement. Barcelona want Dembele gone ASAP so they just agreed a deal with PSG.

What do you mean Dembele was faithful and needs to save his career? Dembele hasn't done jack shit for Barcelona in 6 years and the club trusted him with a new injury despite his injuries.
PSG ain't a better club than Barcelona so I don't know how's that's going to save his career but let's see.

My opinion.... Let Dembléle go!
Did Barcelona spend a fortune on him? Yes, but as you said... he's not doing anything for Barcelona that would justify keeping him in the team.

On the other hand, he hires João Félix, who seems to me to be very close to fulfilling one of his dreams, taking the place of Ousmane Dembélé in the Barcelona team if Dembélé actually makes his transfer to PSG.

In the worst case, they should at least complete the loan of João Félix until the end of the season, and open up the possibility of exercising the option to buy the player's pass in the future.

I hope Xavi comes to terms with this, I don't understand why he wants to hold on to Dembléle so badly.

Well, I'm not a Barcelona fan, but I see that the Barcelona squad has improved, I don't know if Dembelé is right for him to leave or not, the player is doing well, he just hasn't been lucky or hasn't been given the opportunity to Let him show himself as he is, personally I think these things could improve if Xavi changes the squad and the game mode a bit so that he gives Dembelé much more play and can specify with Lewa, that's something that occurs to me, but Demblé is very good, now between him and Joao Féliz obviously Joao has a higher level because he is younger, he can easily adapt to the team, he is a player who also does very well, both for me are very good, and in The way they beat Madrid is showing that they have a high level, that cannot be denied.

Tottenham selfishness in wanting to keep Kane with them any longer is very unfair to Kane, at his current age he needs to win several trophies that he has never been able to get with Tottenham. They have to give up Kane departure for the good of the player and also the club, Kane can achieve his dream with a new club and Tottenham will get some money as compensation for Kane departure.

Yes, it's true that there's nothing wrong with Tottenham releasing Kane because they are not really consistent to get the EPL title and others, I think Kane needs experience for his football so he needs to play at another club to add to his experience so as not to spend the rest of his life playing at Tottenham without any titles , so this will not make him the best player .

Kane must really determine his path of choice to leave Tottenham because if he wants to get a title he can go to a club that has the potential for that, so he doesn't have to stay at Tottenham because so far Kane's struggles have been in vain while at Tottenham without any titles for that is he has a choice too apart from that Tottenham need to let him go for the money and buy another new player.  Grin
Tottenham Hotspur president Daniel Levy took a vacation and went to Miami in USA while Bayern Munich nerves are getting burnt since they didn't receive any response from Spurs yet, and they risk to wait for a longer time.
I don't know if Harry Kane is pushing in his side but letting him to play as a captain in the friendly game vs Donetsk doesn't send a good message for Bayern. It is a waste of time or not?

What they are doing with Kane is really worrying, at first Bayern was going to give anything for him, at the end of this the ones who lose the most are Bayern, they need a good striker anyway and if they let this lose Opportunity is something that the fans would not forgive, but for a few million more, which are not that many, they should buy it, what you say is true, that sign is not encouraging, I was very worried, now if you say that they went to Miami Things get more complicated, from what I see there may not be a deal, but if that's the case, I don't understand why so much protocol if in the end they weren't going to achieve anything.

The void that Lewa left in Bayern has cost Bayern sweat and tears, apparently it is the worst decision of their lives to let this great player go, I would not want to be in the position of Bayern managers, they have already They have made many mistakes this year, it is difficult because everything they decide goes wrong, and with the team they have they can play a good role, but with Kane they have more victories assured.

Bayern set yet another deadline in Kane pursuit as Tottenham shun has ‘not irritated’ them



Quote
The ‘transfer task force’ of Bayern Munich are expected to meet again soon to discuss their move for Harry Kane, after Tottenham failed to respond to their apparent deadline.

Bayern’s potential move for Kane has descended into chaos. They’re currently the only side actively pursuing him – Manchester United opted to sign Rasmus Hojlund instead – and it feels as if they believe they are owed something by Tottenham.

Bayern president Uli Hoeness recently stated outright “we’ll get him”. That was nearly three weeks ago (July 18) and they’re yet to have made significant progress.

Source: https://www.football365.com/news/bayern-deadline-kane-pursuit-tottenham-shun-not-irritated

Everything indicates that Bayern are not upset by Levy's departure to the USA, so they can wait until the other week to continue talking, but I think time is running out. I don't know, but wherever I was in the ranks of Bayern and I was in charge of the negotiations, I would not let more opportunities like this slip away, if they don't do it quickly they could lose it, that's what occurs to me, if President Levy went to The USA is because it is not giving important attention to them, it seems to me that this is another clear message, it is like when they tell you, "To the good understander, few words", honestly I see Bayern very stuck in this negotiation, I don't know that they are going to ask for a discount for the player, but I don't know, they are not doing well so far.

The news from Buffon we were all waiting to see if he is going to retire at 45. While this legendary player got offers from the Saudi teams and some people were thinking he is going to finish his career there but Buffon is going to get retired in Parma the Italian team where he started his career.
However, I think if they could get themself into the Serie A Buffon could play for another season.



https://theathletic.com/4740085/2023/08/01/gianluigi-buffon-retire/

Well , Buffon is something that saddens me , he represents that era of the generation of a Paolo Maldini, Cannavaro, a Francesco Totti , Inzhagui, even a Toro Vieri , he is a goalkeeper who has all that history of a national team An Italian dream, I cannot deny that the Italian national team is another level, now with the news that it will end at Pharma , it is not Bad at all, I am Particularly Fascinated that the Player has that Performance and can continue to demonstrate , If he is in shape , it does not matter that he is 45, 46, I would have gone to Saudi fútbol in him to seal it with a flourish.

I have seen some rumours such as Napoli got an offer worth 120m euros for Osimhen. And after that they raised their asking price to 500m euros quickly. It was a Saudi team that made the offer for him by the way. Maybe Napoli's action like this is special to Saudi teams. Because they weren't speculated to do the same thing against other European teams. The asking price was around 150m euros the most for those teams. But there isn't any interested team for him now.

PSG could have been a strong candidate but they went for Gonçalo Ramos. I guess that Real Madrid also find it too much to go for Osimhen.

As we expected, Osimhen will continue to play in Serie A because Napoli will try to hold it I mean Napoli will use the remaining 2 years of the contract before releasing Osimhen next season. It seems that Napoli are still ambitious to secure the Serie A title next season and hold some important players, this opportunity is open because so far there are no strong competitors in Serie A. Inter, Milan and Juventus did not do much this season including activities in the transfer window.
Well, it seems excellent to me, Osimhen is a player who has always done well, and he did not want to leave Napoli because he wants to continue doing a good job, personally he is a player who feels good. They have treated him well, he won Serie A and he is the defending champion, this is what he wants to continue maintaining at Napoli, they want to continue winning, in Serie A what they are going to present is a great level, I have seen all the teams They have strengthened enough to look for this series, so we could say that the Italian teams are doing their best to be the best, I believe that the winner of the next season will be someone else and not Napoli , but anything can happen.

Saudi teams do not give up:

Al-Hilal Prepare Monstrous Contract Offer for Napoli Talisman:





Quote
Al-Hilal won’t accept no for an answer, as it seems. Despite being rejected twice in quick succession, the Saudi Pro League giants have prepared a new attempt to prise Victor Osimhen away from Napoli. As per renowned journalist Ben Jacobs, they’ve readied a mouth-watering contract package worth £1m-per-week to lure the Nigerian to the Middle East.

Osimhen’s future has been one of the major talking points during the summer transfer window. After becoming the first African player to be crowned the Capocannoniere Award winner in a title-winning 2022/23 season, the 24-year-old has become one of the premium assets in the market.

Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United have already discovered Aurelio De Laurentiis’ resilience regarding the Napoli talisman the hard way. The Partenopei bigwig has fended off both European heavyweights without breaking a sweat. But it won’t be as easy with Al-Hilal as it may have appeared at first glance.

Well, although the conversations about the player continue, the Italians do not rule out that they can obtain a large amount of money for the player, although I don't know if this is correct or not, but a player like this can contribute too much to Napoli, if Napoli Increasing the offer is something that they may be thinking about, because Napoli wouldn't mind having such a large amount of money, as far as I'm concerned I don't know what they could think is better, whether to sell the jaguaro or to stay, But if they stay, they have to secure the first three places, and the level that the Italian teams have is very high, this season Serie A will be very interesting.

I don't know how huge the problems Juve has right now are, but it is one of the most renowned teams right now, Roma is a very good team and they have excellent players, and Mou is also very committed to the team, and He knows that he went far in a Europa League where he said they cheated on him, so now Mou is coming with everything, Inter for their part lost Lukaku, it's a shame because he's a very emblematic player, he has a brand and I think those things They are the ones that are needed in the teams, on the other hand, Milan is somewhat quiet, things may be preparing to fight in a big way, this time Serie A will attract much more attention, perhaps with the same intensity as the PL is experienced .
3851  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: August 05, 2023, 11:45:41 PM
I read the local media, indeed Bayern Munich is very serious about Hary Kane. Bayern Munich's directors have gone to London, England. Bayern Munich made an offer of 85.6 million pounds. But there is still no agreement. Tottenham seem to want to make a lot of profit by not lowering the price of 100 million Pounds. Although this is a gamble because Kane does not seem to want to extend his contract and his contract is only until the summer of 2024
Thomas Tuchel pressuring more heats on the bids, his ultimate striker this summer is Harry Kane. The actual bids for Harry Kane are £100 million, but the Bavarians are in negotiations to complete the transaction; no agreement has yet been reached between both parties. Tottenham Hotspur refused to let him off the hook because they wanted to make a lot of money off of his sales. One of the reasons Spurs are hesitant is because they have yet to find a replacement for their best scorer. Bayern Munich is very interested in signing Harry Kane, and it is critical that they do so this summer.

I kinda feel if bayern gonna fail to recruit kane from spurs. The fees gonna be the main problem. I don't know why bayern is not willing to spend £100 millions for kane if the club really needs him at this moment. So many parties expected bayern to launch the third offer.
I think that if it will still less than 100 millions. Bayern keeps being so harsh with its decision to buy kane with less than 100 millions while kane is not also interesting to extending his contract in the spurs.

Why doesn't bayern wait for kane's contract to be running out? This sounds make sense rather than keep bidding on him with less than 100 millions.

I don't understand that either, if Bayern doesn't buy then they'll still be somewhat unprotected, they need a gunner like Kane, personally I think they're missing out on a great opportunity, I don't know how Bayern's finances should be, but if they do they need to buy him, I don't know if when Kane's contract runs out he will want to go to Bayern or not I really doubt it, things could get complicated, because the player is seeing all these things and he will say that if they don't sign him right now for asking for less, that's not It looks very good, because they are not evaluating it very much, they want to buy it cheap, it is something like what Real Madrid is doing with Mbappé.

Bayern Munich got problems with finding a good sticker and a player to finish balls for them that's the reason for Tuchel to ask the team to hire Kane. However, in the last time when they hire Sadio Mane, he had a perfect performance in Liverpool and scored many goals in that team but when he joined Bayern Munich he couldn't have a good performance that's why I think there is a chance to see the same story about Harry Kane.

Bayern Munich weak point is indeed on the front lines because since the departure of Lewandowski, Bayern Munich has lost its goal machine and has not found the right replacement. So Harry could be a pretty good hope for Bayern Munich for next season if they manage to sign him in this transfer window.

Besides, Harry Kane has proven his quality in scoring many goals in the Premier League so there is not doubt that he not will suffer the same fate as Sadio Mane who failed to shine with Bayern Munich. Because these two players have different characteristics in their finishing. In my opinion if bayern munich manages to get harry kane they will be the most frightening team next season.

I think exactly the same as you, for me Bayern's only weak point is that, because from Lewa's departure he left them very unguarded and they still can't find their way, in fact in the Budensliga they were about to lose it against to a Dortmund that gave everything and almost won, but personally, the things that can be done with respect to a player to improve the team should not be denied money, you have to spend what is necessary so that you can give victories they deserve, Bayern have held many meetings with Tottenham so they can sign Kane, but I think you can't live on sales, even less for someone like Kane who will surely be a scorer in the Bundesliga, they are also interested in a good goalkeeper, like De Gea, but they have to clearly define what they want as a priority, if they want to acquire the two players they have to make an astronomical effort to achieve them.

For me, if Bayern can't sign Kane it's this season and they don't make the effort to have their women players, they have to do something urgent, because everything is going to be complicated for them, both the Bundesliga and the UCL, this is something that They have to act quickly, so that they ensure this movement and there are no regrets for next season, because PSG almost took Kane away from them, what happened is that the player did not want to go to PSG, but almost, they were ready, yes Bayern is not in a hurry, everything can stay there, and it is obvious that Tottehanm do not want to let him go, they are doing everything possible to keep the player, however things can change and that is why they must buy him quickly.

Bayern 'throw in three sweeteners' in £95m Harry Kane deal including luxury villa

Bayern Munich are ready to throw the kitchen sink at Harry Kane - by reportedly offering the England striker a luxury Bavarian villa for his family. The England captain remains in limbo over his future and is yet to have clarity on whether he will be playing for Tottenham or Bayern when the new season kicks off next weekend.

Source: https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1799190/Tottenham-transfer-news-Bayern-Munich-Harry-Kane-deal

At this point, things can be resolved that way, there are only a few million more, Bayern have to aim for what they want, they cannot let this opportunity pass them by, otherwise they will take it away for the next season, if not They agree to give that money, I think there will be no agreement for the player anymore, as far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't doubt it, I would give that money if I had it, the important thing is that they keep the Bundesliga this time and at least reach the final of the UCL with a voracious performance, Bayern have everything so that they can win any competition and they have Everything to give it, what they need is to be Able to trust what they have.

It's a shame that a young player who was expected to bring positive things to this club now has to suffer an injury and keeps him out of action for about 2 months. And even that could be more if the recovery process does not go smoothly.
He is still very young, it is not a big problem for him to focus on recovery for 2 months. I'm sure Real Madrid has enough facility to make the recovery goes smoothly. Real Madrid is one of the top clubs in the world, we shouldn't doubt how they will treat Arda. They should try their best to recover Arda's injuried as soon as possible.





Well, but these things are very normal, the only thing is that what happened to him is some bad luck, it's still two months, that goes by quickly, the important thing here is that things at Real Madrid have everything well prepared, Ancelotti is a coach who has everything very well calculated, surely he already has everything adjusted and surely he has a replacement for him, it is impossible for him to count on playing with that injury, in the same way Madrid already has a lot of experience with this type of case Well, with Hazard they experienced something like this, I hope it doesn't spread like Hazard's, but I'm sure they can handle that on the right foot.

Indeed.
Benzema is Real Madrid's last strength, I mean, after Benzema left Real Madrid, this club really hasn't found a player at least of his class who can strengthen the team and perform brilliantly in various matches. Because Real Madrid's target is not only in La Liga but also the Champions League (UCL) ). Mbappe is his hope now to restore Real Madrid to glory.
At least the efforts made by Benzema while at Real Madrid have yielded very good results and have been his best contribution at Real Madrid.
Unfortunately, at the moment, there is still no one who can replace Benzema at Real Madrid because the task is very difficult and not everyone can replace him easily.

You are absolutely right, but here things have to be seen from the point of view that Madrid is a very big team, I know that Benzema is a benchmark for a very complete striker, but at this point the one with the most options for that great substitution It was Mbappé, but Mbappé made a big mistake, the season that Madrid was looking for him and they gave a lot of money for him, he preferred to stay at PSG, which nobody at Madrid liked, now they have to do a lot of things at Ancelotti's team to integrate and cover that gap that Benzema left, it's not easy, but really things with this player everything he bet on was great, as far as I'm concerned the best thing Benzema did was save Madrid at the moments I needed it the most, and above all it was in those moments that were at the end of the match, I'm talking about the 90th minute, in discount time, all of that was what Benzema contributed.

With the hopes of everyone, they love Mbappé because he is a good player, he is French and he has a lot of sympathy with them, the bad thing was preferring PSG over Real Madrid, that decision is something that Florentino Pérez does not forgive, they do not give second chances After this, I don't know if he will change his mind about the player, but I see it as difficult, very difficult, there is talk that they could bring him in next season, but it is not something under which I, as a Madridista, would be excited.

Some are saying that they are closing the business, but I don't believe it, there are many rumors, gossip and a lot of talk out there, but you don't have to be so gullible, things in football are like that, sometimes they are mysterious and they can make believe what others want, but the reality may be different.

Kylian Mbappe prepared to spend season on loan in Premier League as battle commences



Quote
Now with the Mbappe situation having become toxic PSG would be prepared to allow him to leave on loan for a substantial fee before potentially leaving on a free transfer next summer.

That has alerted a number of Premier League clubs including Chelsea, Arsenal and despite denials from Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool.

Source: https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/mbappe-open-to-prem-move-30636736

Personally, I have seen that things with Mbappé are quite difficult, they have always tried to do many things to please the player, the situation of Mbappé and PSG has been too toxic, now what makes the most noise is Liverpool, They have an illusion because the player likes that team, he also goes on loan so they can do something really good this season, now, when this season is over, things can change for what the French player has always wanted , and it is to go to Real Madrid so that he can fulfill his dream of playing in white, so here is something that I want to emphasize, opportunities should not be missed, because look what happens, there would be a big problem, if he had accepted going to Madrid was not going through that uncomfortable situation.

As I said before, right now they can say yes to Mbappé, but he still can't go to Madrid, and from there he can go to Madrid and it's not up to him, it will depend on Real Madrid if they want him or not, because very easily for the next season in Madrid they can say no to Mbappé, and since there is nothing signed, it would backfire on the Frenchman, so for me the Frenchman is hanging by a needle.

After Saint-Maximin transfer from Newcastle to Al-Ahli, Fabinho moved to Ettihad club from Liverpool for €46.7m and Sadio Mane joined Al-Nassr coming from Bayern Munich for €30m. Not a big loss for Bayern and a new start for Mane, who will join Cristiano Ronaldo in the attack line!
Saudi league are getting more and more interesting these days Wink
I don't follow developments regarding this one player (Sadio Mane). So when I saw a tweet from the Bayern account mentioning Mane's official departure to Al-Nassr it really surprised me. Although the rumors have been heard for a long time. But news of this was overshadowed by many other hotter stories like about Mbappe and others.
I'm quite happy that finally Cristiano Ronaldo will have a better partner in Al-Nassr's front line. Mane is one of the goalscoring machines that used to be owned by Liverpool. He went to Bayern but his fate at Bayern did not seem smooth. He's been injured a lot and last time he had a problem with one of the players. But anyway Mane is a really quality player. And all I can say for Al-Nassr for signing Mane is "Good Job". Cool


Well, this season I'm really getting excited to see the SPL. Last season I was only interested because of CR7 but this season is different. Many other Top European players that I also like are in the SPL.

Well Mane next to CR7 is something that can do so many very good things, Al Nassr is reinforcing itself in an impressive way, also with all the players who have left it seems to me that things are very good for this team and for all the Saudi league in general, I personally think that things can go well as long as these teams continue to raise their level, just thinking that all the reinforcements that have gone to this league, this makes Saudi football much more dynamic It is a fact that things when it comes to good players, veterans and those who can contribute a lot are the ones that are leading that League for now, then so many young Promises that they can Recruit , it is a fact that it will be like that.

snip
Sadio Mane joins the Al Nassor club, so I think Ronaldo is a great danger. Because I think in all respects Sadio means more than the young Ronaldo. So in the game I think Sadio Mane will start scoring great, even more than Cristiano Ronaldo.
I don't agree with what you said here, not disagreeing with your opinion because it also has a point, but when it comes to comparing players then it becomes something different. What I want to emphasize here is that they are in one club, and that makes them have to work together as a team, even though in the end Cistiano Ronaldo had to lose his shine to Mane, then that is the function of a real team. I mean they should be able to cover each other's backs, not be at odds with each other, which is what will make the team fall apart.
I agree with you.  It is not a thing of competition,  it is just a team work that the coming of Sadio Mane into the club will make it easy for Ronaldo to score more goals and also the presence of Ronaldo in the team will also help sadio mane to perform well. Fachant is making look as if it will be a game of competition for the players. The essence of having good players in a team is to make the game easy for all  the players to come out with the best performance.
I understand, I guess. But you've really got me thinking now, man! Al Nassr is sort of shooting for the stars this season, aren't they, with all their bells and whistles? I mean, come on, their new players, especially Mane and Ronaldo! They are both stars in their own cosmos, so combining them into one squad is just... amazing! And speaking of Fachant, who knows what's going on inside his head?

But let's pause for a moment and talk about Mane's past before we go on. Yes, he didn't quite perform as well for Bayern Munich as we had planned. But he's now working with Al Nassr. Does past performance indicate what will happen next? Considering that we are not discussing stocks, perhaps? Things are looking quite grim for both of them, especially with Ronaldo by their sides

After all that, and this is the crazy part, teams are odd, man. You can have all the good stuff, the creme de la creme players, but if they don't gel, then it's all just... meh. I dunn
What I can intuit from this is that things can be very good when these players who are veterans go to a league where they are really highly valued, appreciated and can do things very well, I just do a simple By comparison, the players who go to a league like the MLS are players who have everything ready to retire, they go there to retire, but I see that here in this league things are on another level, it's not like in Europe, but they are taking a great level, they are taking the best players to this league, and the players are learning all these techniques, which in time the Saudi League will be one of the most famous and best in the world, who knows if more famous than the same as the European

As far as I am concerned when CR7 went to this league and who opened the field for all these players to venture out, of course money is an option that any player likes, it is a plus that they had not seen in Europe.

Saudi clubs interested in signing Manchester United’s defensive outcast



Quote
Manchester United defender Eric Bailly is attracting interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia in the ongoing transfer window, according to Sky Sports (h/t Manchester Evening News).

As things stand, the Ivory Coast international has two offers on the table from the Saudi Pro League. The centre-back has been informed that he is free to leave the Old Trafford side this summer.

Erik ten Hag does not have the 29-year-old in his plans ahead of the 2023/24 term. United are looking to cash in on the former Villarreal star in the coming weeks but realise that it will be difficult to get more than £2–£3 million for him.

This here is very easy to see, the MU needs money and they want to take out this defender who I think is very good and did well at Villareal, but who understands the things that a Ten Hag wants? It is very difficult to see, to be able to establish the things that he wants? That is something that I only leave to the MU, I don't know who the MU wants to bring if they manage to sell this defender, they would also be doing very well, because every Arab team offers good money, and that way they can buy a A player who can help Bruno and Antony much more, because the situation of this team that has lost its way to win important competitions is quite strong.

I also noticed that condition with Barcelona in the Champions League last season, but one of the other factors that made them fail was that Barcelona joined the group of hell last season. Regarding the Champions League next season, of course Barcelona has a higher chance of qualifying for the round of 16 (at least), but it still depends on who will be their opponent in the group stage. If Barcelona are going to be in the group of hell again, I think it's difficult to see them qualify for the higher stages.

About Barcelona, ??I know they have changed. Xavi is responsible for improving the quality of Barcelona in the last 2 seasons, but I agree that Xavi has not been able to convince many of his fans about the Champions League at the moment. Dembele will join PSG and a verbal agreement has been reached, it will cost Barcelona their firepower next season.
Not the hell group for Barcelona in the previous season in the Champions League, but indeed their strength is not too strong when they have to face other teams. Barcelona was very difficult to win matches in the champions league last season because they were not consistent in the matches they played. However, this season Barcelona will try their best after the player's confidence begins to rise after winning the Laliga trophy.

For Xavi, he really wants to bring Barcelona to go far in the Champions League so he needs better performance from his players when playing in Champions League matches. I'm sure Gundogan presence will be a source of strength for them next season because Gundogan can provide his best experience to help Barcelona beat their opponents next season.

Well, the truth is, I don't understand how in Barcelona they can beat Real Madrid but they can't beat the rest of the teams that are against a UCL , or even in a Europa League , right now I Don't deny that Barcelona has a good Team The players have become much more connected, that is obvious, but I have seen that things can happen in a very strange way for them , they can win the League, because they won it very well deserved, but I have seen that now in Barcelona the different ways that they have done to be able to have more of those consecutive victories, on the other hand , Real Madrid beats Teams that Beat Barcelona, are things that are Sometimes not understood.

It is always difficult to determine who will win the Champions League title, especially when the season has not started. Manchester City certainly have a chance to repeat their success, but to defend the Champions League title then I think it is the most difficult challenge for any coach. Pep Guardiola is expected to keep his chances good, but all the teams that will be competing in the Champions League will also be pushing for the title.
Instead of the Champions League, the Premier League has always provided Manchester City with the opportunity to repeat their achievement to win the title. Since Pep Guardiola became Manchester City's head coach, they had dominated the premier league for so long. They recently succeeded in winning the championship for the first time. They won't be able to repeat it consecutively, in my opinion. Only Real Madrid has been successful in winning the Champions League on multiple occasions. I'm not sure if Manchester City will be able to accomplish their goal of winning the Champions League title by the end of the next season. That's the puzzle we can't tend to solve until the champions league match start

I also very much agree with what you say, this new season of the UCL that is coming I see much stronger teams, Real Madrid has undoubtedly always been a clear example of a team that can win capoenades of whatever consecutively, it is something that we are used to. With respect to Pep Guardiol and his City boys, if it is probable that they can win the UCL, it cannot be ruled out, Pep Guardiola is a very calculating man, he knows very well where his deficiencies are, how he can lead them to become strengths and can thus play a great role in the next round of the UCL.

Everyone will have bad eyes at Man City, because they know that this is the best of all so far, I am sure that Real Madrid will not let themselves win so easily this time, they will have a better team, a strategist who can help much more in the midfield and attack, which in my opinion is what they need the most.

And one of the things that many do not dare to say:


Ex Juventus & Roma Coach Declares: ‘Inter Milan Deserved To Win UCL Final Vs Man City, Favourites For Serie A Title’



Quote
Speaking to Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, the coach also named the Nerazzurri as favourites to win the Serie A title next season.

Inter’s 2022-23 season came to an exciting, but ultimately heartbreaking conclusion.

The Nerazzurri booked themselves a place in Europe’s biggest club match, the Champions League final.

Few people expected them to get this far.

And even then, Inter went into the final with many regarding them as huge rank outsiders to Manchester City.

The final result did see the favourites prevail – the Cityzens won the match by a 1-0 scoreline after a second-half Rodri goal.

However, the manner of the performance was not as one-sided as many predicted it would be. Inter did not simply sit back and try to counterattack in the first half, as they prevented Pep Guardiola’s team from looking like the steamroller they often do.

Then, in the second, Inter had a flurry of chances after the Cityzens went up.

Perhaps it will come as little consolation for the Nerazzurri who have to deal with the disappointment of missing out on the trophy after coming so close.

But for Delneri, it’s something that Inter deserve plenty of credit for.

Source: https://sempreinter.com/2023/08/05/ex-juventus-coach-luigi-delneri-inter-milan-deserved-win-man-city-ucl-final/

Well, personally, I think that Man City had a lot of luck in that final, I remember very well that Lukaku seemed like a City defender, every rebound he could give was taken out of the goal instead of into it , in another shot that hit him A player from Inter gave Lukaku a chance to prevent him from reaching the target Goal , for me in that match Lukaku was the biggest blunder of all, and the coach's mistake was not having taken him out of the team in time to see if they could get him ahead , Because they were very bad.

Despite Barcelona's good form in the previous season I still have a feeling that it will be very difficult for them to win the Champions League, I think they will reach the semi-finals at most. It's like they're not ready for it anyway, it's hard to explain it. Nevertheless, we will have to see how they start their season in general, and the group stage in particular is worth paying attention to

I agree with your opinion but an experienced team like Barcelona can surprise you at any time especially if they manage to maintain their top form next season. Xavi has managed his team and players very well, it has motivated all players to work optimally for the benefit of the team.

I believe Barcelona have less chance than Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and or maybe PSG, but Xavi has quality and he also has good squad depth to look forward to. Of course I can't fully expect Barcelona to appear in the Champions League final next season and win the title, but nothing is impossible.
The teams that will play in the champions league for this season are the strongest teams in their respective leagues. Indeed, Barcelona is believed to be able to provide stronger competition after their squad depth is strong enough. With the confidence of the players after winning the Laliga trophy last season, they will be even more motivated to make a better run in the champions league this season.

De Jong, Gundogan and Lewandowski will be at the heart of the game in their depth of strength next season. So that other teams should be wary of Barcelona rise this season. For Manchester City or Real Madrid they are still the strongest team in the Champions League this season and they will be a big calculation for the opponents they will face this season.

I can't deny that Barcelona now have a very good team, I'd rather say that they have a team that can work just as well or better than Real Madrid, I say this because they also have Lewa and he's one of the best players who are in their best form, and have a lot of experience, that's all I can see in Barcelona, also when they played with Madrid they were forceful, this type of thing is what we always see from the point of view A fan's view, things can also be seen differently, coaches see different ways to put together their strategy and here Xavi is showing that he has learned a lot.

I like this because Barcelona puts the level that Madrid must demonstrate quite high, what I would like is that if Barcelona wins Madrid they must win more competitions.

Well here the option of leaving Dembelé was quite quick , although I think they have some problems , however I don't think it was a bad decision because Dembelé is a player who could contribute a little more, but here the only one who has his Reasons It's the same Xavi , but if they Already have the perfect exchange option it would be excellent, also if that's the case and they can put him as a substitution for him because he's not there, he's jpven, it looks like he wants to do things well, and he has The whole future lies ahead, so the selection that Xavi has made up to now is not bad , and taking Advantage of the fact that he won La Liga , they have given him some Freedom.

Well, betting in a group has its pros and cons, the pros are that in a group the bets increase and the profits are much higher, not bad, in a group you can make a Commitment to show the degree of bet and why the bet, it seems to me that in knowledge the chances of Winning are Better , therefore if we go to something else we can say that things are when it comes to profit and Whoever affirms is only what can bring problems to a group, then it is not recommended if there is someone who wants to be the most intelligent and leave everyone with nothing, that can Happen because Obviously it is a lot of money , and well , trust is another thing that must be Earned.

Whenever it is about money, things go or can go in a direction that can affect some and benefit others, if the group is completely Legal , that is, there are no feelings that they want to take advantage of or something like that, I think. things can Turn out well , but if all the people are the ones who want to earn whatever it is, going over others, well, I wouldn't get involved in that, there are people who change completely when they see money, they don't. I'm worried about the friends, or even if it is family, I would be very Careful , I would dare to say no , just to avoid Getting in Trouble and not to do things that can obviously affect our integrity, I have seen cases where only two people get in a lot of problems if they work at Partnership Now in a group , I don't know, they would all have to have a very high financial level and be similar.

I can see the Concept of groups and make bets to help each other, it is better to make bets that are backed by many people so that you can win much more, and better than making them 1 alone, besides that the person who makes the decision to make a bet and going out there has to have an associated responsibility, according to this , the people who have the money there should Know to be Able to give their Opinion , if so in that term if many Good things can be Done.

Klopp is really taking a risky move by selling their two veteran midfielders, it's similar like Chelsea. Although the performance of both Chelsea and Liverpool in club friendlies are good enough, but we don't know what will happen in the real match.
Liverpool have already released and sold out a good number of their players such as Oxlade Chamberlain, Naby Keita, James Milner, Roberto Firmino. Jordan Henderson and Fabinho are the latest to be added to the exit list. It might turned out to be a dumb move to have all these experienced players leave the club at once but at the same time overhaul of the squad could be what the team need to push for a top four finish next season. But my problem is they've not really brought in enough players to make up for the departed ones. So far the they have only bought Mac Allister from Brighton and Dominik Szoboszlai from Leipzig, more signings is needed before the transfer window closes.

Well, the truth is it is difficult to know what Liverpool wants , because it is Incredible that they have sold so many good players and that they do very well in the team , Personally I do not know what they are looking for, I do not know how they are doing Aramr the team again , could it be that they are very bad financially ? Do you want to build a team with players who don't get so chaotic to see if they can do something better? What strikes me is that these things can be quite strong when a team needs to require good Players for this PL,  apart from this things in the PL are getting very Strong , there are teams that have been Reinforced with very good Players.

The owner of Newcastle United is Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. And now Newcastle are the richest club in the Premier League. At the same time, the Public Investment Fund is also ready to spend a lot of money. But the Newcastle management is very experienced. They want to stabilize the team slowly. And I'd say the Newcastle management wouldn't be wrong to trust coach Eddie Howe.

Newcastle management did not spend much money. And they didn't include any star players in the squad. They added Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes to the squad. And both of them are midfielders and young players. I guess coach Eddie Howe has different plans. He wants to build the team fit to win the Champions League title in the next few years. And so he is investing money in young players.
Of course there is always a plan behind a team's approach to its player transfer policy from season to season. Newcastle have developed well under Eddie Howe, but I believe he needs to build a better team than he is now if he has ambitions of winning the Premier League title or the Champions League. Eddie Howe is certainly in no rush to do so as long as the management still trusts him, but the fact is that Newcastle have been the better team step by step.

I'm curious about Newcastle in the coming season, of course after they have qualified for the Champions League. Eddie Howe may don't expect too high in Champions League, but still he will do his best to test and try to go as far as they can.

I am a person who really likes Newcastle, for everything they have done, I believe that they can do something very good and they can be focused in a direction that is very much towards victory, some do not have faith in it, I believe that every team that is in the PL has the illusion of doing things very well in order to win it, we could all go and talk about City, Arsenal, many teams that are quite outstanding, of course for those that have shown us since last season, the level is very high, but it is not impossible for Newcastle to achieve great things, I do not rule out that if they can go looking for that PL.

What we Should see here is that things Have gone well for Newcastle , I see it very well, the coach has done excellent for me, it would be a matter of seeing how they Continue to Develop , if there are more changes , more buy , Sales.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe sends warning to Sandro Tonali after £55m transfe



Quote
Eddie Howe has warned Sandro Tonali “the Premier League is different.”

‌The Italian star made an impressive St James’ Park debut on Saturday against Fiorentina as Newcastle won 2-0 with goals from Miguel Almiron and Alexander Isak. The £55m man has to prove himself combative enough for a place in Howe’s first starting XI of the season against Aston Villa next week and Howe has seen an improvement in his defensive duties.

The former AC Milan playmaker’s quality on the ball is not in doubt, but Howe wants a solid midfield platform. Tonali played on the right of a three, and Howe admitted: “Out of possession it was a step up in his recent performances which was good to see.”

Well here things are very clear, obviously they are telling the player in a few words that he has to win the position that he has to have much more speed and that things in the PL are harder than in Srie A you play another rhythm, it can be very good but things have to happen in the best way so that the player can contribute much more , that's what he looks for and he can Integrate quickly, what I see here is that the player has to grab a football of tougher level, more contact, not so focused on defense, things can look like this, however I Hope the player will adapt quickly because Newcastle Need Players who are 100%.
3857  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: benefits of having mature accounts at 3 casinos (personal experience) on: August 05, 2023, 07:24:38 PM
Many become VIP without even realizing it, because what they do is play and play, as long as they have enough types of games it is good to continue making their way to VIP, so everything that has to do with VIP is not bad at all , having 2, 3 less accounts, that translates into a pride for every player who has it, because what the casino means for that person is a lot, the options and opportunities are there to become a VIP, with patience it can be achieved.
I understand that you believe having multiple VIP accounts is a great opportunity and that casinos should always nurture these accounts. However, it's essential to remember that managing multiple VIP accounts can be challenging and requires discipline. As mentioned earlier, self-control and setting limits on bets are crucial aspects to avoid gambling problems. It's necessary to approach gambling responsibly and be mindful of the financial risks involved.

Yes, of course things should be like this, with 3 VIP accounts you have to have much more responsibility, it is very easy to see things that become easier, and the bonuses that are high, at least that's what I've seen in stakke. com Those who are VIP have very good benefits, so they are treated very well, because this type of client is very important for the casino, however, when we have the opportunity to take an account to a VIP, we must take advantage because it is a unique opportunity. but if it is in the favorite casino, what happens is that certain limits must be set, well, oneself as the owner of the vip account must set limits so as not to go crazy with so many freedoms, this so as not to burn the account, because you become VIP It takes a long time, sacrifice, many bets.

I have 1 VIP account in the most recognized casinos, and it is obvious that I would be a happy person, especially since I have options that are very good, what I am saying, there are casinos that give monthly bonuses, others weekly, those things are what they are profitable, and not stop playing, these accounts must be fed 100%, it is absolutely true that responsibility must always reign here, that status should not be lost, some players who play and play, when they see it, it is that they have VIP status that they arrived at once without looking for it so much, I think that sometimes things are better that way, don't wait too long if you do something in particular, but sometimes things come by themselves, in casinos sometimes we play and we don't realize it of how much we have, when we see that we have come a long way.

Well, so far I have not had the opportunity to know what a VIP account is and how it is, the benefits and feel like an important part, especially of the most recognized casinos, this is something that for many represents pride, and the result of the effort that It can happen, I can sometimes see that there are many players who become VIPs quickly and the truth is that each one has their own strategist to do it, and I like that it is so because it is something beneficial for both the casino and the players.
3858  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering requirements for withdraw on: August 05, 2023, 07:04:54 PM



There are people who get into slots in an online casino, and do many things to win, including following the wagering requirements and the associated wager to the letter, I'm not saying ndaa with a 1x wager although sometimes that is enough as to leave the salary completely at nothing, that's for sure, however when we do other types of things in the casino like enjoying ourselves, not having the pressure to win because I want to withdraw and if he starts to enjoy the game, I think things they flow differently, but it is very difficult to reach that level to achieve something like that.

However, there are players who only care about playing and having fun, hanging out and they don't mind losing, that's something I Admire , of course, you also have to take into account that these people may have other types of financing, they have a much better economy than that of the common Denominator or the mean.

The obvious truth is that,  do we really have such a setting where we only gamble for the fun,  most especially in live games where you stake a real amount because the only time we can gamble for the fun is when we are in a free mode where we don't have to stake any amount but once we make deposits the tendency to win the game will always be there and if care is not taken,  you will have to get too much involved to win more then just the fun.

So ultimately,  while we gamble to have fun,  but winning is also very much important for many of those who endure for the last moment and are ready to meet any wagering requirement that can come along the way.

Well we all know the general purpose of every casino is to have fun that is something we know and at some point we all have to see it like this because otherwise we can't see it it's also not appropriate some newbies think there is a casino for see it as an ATM and things are not like that, they should see it as fun, in addition to things in casinos if we don't see it as fun but as work or something like that, that is something that we must be clear about, when we have a consensus that the casino is just for fun, our brain can give an idea that it is not just to win or win, that it is accepted that if there is fun there is a high possibility of losing.

In all casinos we always see bonuses, contests where they offer a lot of money, it is obvious that this attracts anyone, because they say, with a minimum quota I have the opportunity to deny all this, because it seems like a great business to me, what happens is that when These things happen like this, the demands are very high to be able to make a profit, it is normal, in no casino under any circumstances are things regulated, everything has to work, play and see how it can be done, increase your balance, that is what the casinos do casinos.

When I started in the casinos, I thought that a bonus was money that the casino gave out for free, in my ignorance I saw that this could be possible, but no, things are different and it is obvious that everything tends and must be work, unless there's something more like a contest or something.

I know that many players who are newbies think that the bonuses are free and that they give it to you and that it can be withdrawn later , and this is something that tends to confuse , I Understand something, when I read the word bonus it means that it is a gift, but here in the casinos the word bonus is another definition, I have always said that the word "Bonus" should be changed to "Conditional Bonus" so people know that it will not be free , there are more words but it is Somewhat more efficient , besides As I have already said , newbies Would not fall into Errors.
3859  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: August 05, 2023, 06:06:35 PM

Nevertheless, Forex and gambling have very similar financial instruments for making money, which completely erase the line between trading and gambling. So - on Forex there is such a contract called an Option. An option is such a tool when you predict that the price of a certain currency pair will be lower or higher after a while, and if you guess, you will get +100 percent to the deposit. Does it remind you of anything? This is a one-on-one roulette game for red and black. At the same time, since our topic is about games and trading not for money, then why that Options can be used on demo accounts.
The question is very good, but I think that things can be given as a demo account to verify that things in demo mode, such as the money is fictitious, the person plays calmer without fear of losing because he knows that he will not lose anything, then the tools that exist both in casinos and on exchanges is what we must know how to understand, why? because when we play or trade on a casino platform or when we trade real money, if we make a mistake because we don't understand the tools well, we lose money.

In casino games we must understand everything, what each thing is for, because we don't know if we can use it at any given time to save our investment, I think that's why there is always a demo mode with play money.

In conclusion, I think that when you play anything without including money, it can become boring at times, but when we put money automatically, the emotion will be rotten, so it could be said that the game in demo mode and/or with play money is for educational purposes and to be able to do things much better, so as not to have mistakes when playing for real money.

My own experience clearly shows that using demo accounts and practicing your actions on a demo account is not just a waste of time, but also a completely harmful activity for the simple reason that it takes your time and does not allow you to really develop the necessary skills.  It is much better and more correct to use not a demo version in trading and games, but very small real deposits in cryptocurrency.  For example, a few dollars, losing which is almost imperceptible to your budget. 
Thus, you will develop the necessary skills much faster and more correctly.

It's a really good way of looking at it, well maybe you pick up the skills faster than me, sometimes I've tried to do that and I make mistakes that sometimes cost me some money that I need later to develop a better game, but what? that? Maybe I am very prepared when it comes to doing anything in the casino, but I know myself, I prefer to spend a lot of time in the demo part to learn well each tool that the game offers us and then when I feel confident Good My real bets are I do it with real money, maybe I'm a bit methodical, but I've learned that with money you shouldn't lose like that.

I give a lot of importance to playing in demo mode, because I saw the importance of demo mode from the moment I started trading, specifically in an exchange where, because I thought I knew how to put a position well, what I did was make a profit that I already had lose, so that bothered me a lot, because of that mistake I lasted 3 days in demo mode and learned many things, that's why I apply that same teaching to casino games, the truth is I don't like losing money in a stupid way , I like to do things well, but of course, there are people who have a better understanding of the tools of casinos and exchanges.

I know that there are many people who think like me, but there are also others who believe that it is a waste of time and I understand them, the emotion, the adrenaline of playing is something that makes us unique when facing the challenges of the casinos.

Probably useful or useless training in trading on the stock exchange or playing in a casino, or, for example, Forex trading using demo accounts, should be decided by the player himself. 
I admit that many people are just impatient to start trading or playing for real money as soon as possible and they ignore demo accounts altogether.  Some people just make bets in completely different ways when they know that if they lose, they will really lose money and still try to make these bets deliberately.  And if such people start training on a demo account, then their motivation will be so transformed that it will simply not be applicable if they switch to a real account.  However, the risk-taking habit he developed on the demo account may continue.  And then the losses and losing the game is almost guaranteed.  However, some players are certainly aware of the difference between a demo account and a real account and take this difference into account. 
And yet, perhaps, a demo account is really suitable for elementary development of skills simply by pressing certain options in the right order and sequence and training similar technical skills in the game.
Well, months ago I started trading forex, and I just started with real money, because I looked at all the trading tools and I was like, oh, I know, and just starting out, I was wrong, so these things happen to you sometimes. for not trusting well, or for believing that one knows everything, and there I lost some money entering, and later I recovered it, but really that happened for having confidence, now every time I enter an exchange in a casino game if they have I don't miss the demo option, I use it because they prefer to make a mistake there and not with my money, because if I lose due to malpractice it is already my responsibility.

In games things can be very different, each person has their level of understanding and maybe the game they are going to play does not need to be practiced because they already know everything, so that is something else, but the truth is that I know the game From memory, I go into it and start doing my normal moves like I don't know, I take advantage of the demo mode, in fact even in slots I like to use the demo mode to see what a slot brings so much excitement and so on. I adjust to what I can take in emcoines, and in possible profits.

Always in slots, it's good to see the maximum multiplier that can be drawn, if it's 10x and more, it's a slot worth risking, otherwise, I play the same but I don't bet much, because it's obvious, we play where I have more chances to win, however, as I have said on many occasions I play slots to relax, I put them on my computer, I buy a good beer, if I can buy a hamburger and I have a very nice time, I don't care if I lose, I have little money to lose, but if I see it as fun, I don't do it to look for profits because otherwise it would stress me out, so that's my strategist based on slots, there are many players who are fans of slots, but to me In particular, I like to enjoy this game to the full.
3860  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: August 05, 2023, 05:44:35 PM
The biggest stupidity of gamblers is all-in bets in the desire to win back a loss. In this case, it is impossible to win, because after the next loss, this player will again try to repeat the same thing, and in the end he will still lose everything. There is no need to think that such people have any chances for a positive outcome.
Yeah, having positive mindset is important but having positive mindset in gambling for believing he can recover all of his losses is really a wrong mindset. Every gambler should know and aware if they gamble only for fun, if they can't find the happiness in gambling when they're keep losing, they shouldn't gambling at all. Gambling is a choice and each person has it's own interest, so not all people can become a gambler.

surely the majority of all gamblers have had thoughts like this, it's really humane but if it continues to be followed, it can lead to gambling addiction, recently a person in his 20s was caught for stealing a smartphone, when asked his purpose for doing that, he said to playing slots, here I am quite sad when I read the news, he is really desperate and very reckless, gambling should make players entertained instead of being a crime. if indeed we are getting worse because of gambling we should stop immediately, people who have poor self-control are not suitable for gambling.


It is always good to highlight the positive things about one as a person, but I think that sometimes when it comes to money, apart from being very positive, you also have to have and use reason, reason is super important in every way, because when you see more things like gambling, playing in casinos, we must have robot-like thinking, like, I have this, if I spend this I can't have any more, something like that, because positivism is sometimes bad when used incorrectly, in the In the case of casinos, in trading, it could be called hope, as Wyckoff does in trading, and hope is not good, because hope is mainly in losses, and losses must be cut.

When we are in a casino making bets, or when we make sports bets, our brain opens to another world, where the value of money at that moment is almost forgotten, perhaps because of the amount of money that we see moving in a casino and what other people bet, this is something common, sometimes we have to be aware that our money is very valuable, that is, if we have 1 dollar we have to take care of it and not throw it away making senseless bets that make us lose, Because just as 1 USD is thrown away, we can throw away up to 5 USD and since sometimes 5 USD is not so representative, we do not give it so much importance, we begin to give it importance from 20 USD onwards and it should not be like that, our money We must take care of it, try to multiply it so that in this way and only if we can succeed in a casino, otherwise I see it as very difficult for us to do something with the money, well, losing is the easiest, that's why we cannot get out of control, Sometimes if we are winning we want to win more, but we risk more money and that is a blunder because that is the way to lose everything, as humans we have a brain and we must use that brain to also win, not to prepare for losses, for that reason it is that whenever we play our money for a casino is what we are willing to lose.

It's nice to hear a rational explanation of how currency and gaming operate. Right now, I think it's especially important to take a dose of realism with one's unrestrained optimism

Casinos and sportsbooks are notorious for this same reason, as they trick us into thinking our money is not worth what it actually is. But that also seems to be a major selling point. Hoping to win a lot of money while receiving a surge of adrenaline?

While I agree that we should always be cognizant of our bottom line, I can't help but feel that the process would be very dull if we treated ourselves like automatons. Fun and success are equally crucial, right?

Is it not true that in these perilous times, hope, with all its limitations, is what keeps us going? We need a healthy dosage of common sense, but can we just dismiss it altogether?
I think there must be a balance, sometimes we play because we want to feel that emotion, that adrenaline, sometimes that sensation that we get when we play, these are things that we normally want to experience, it is necessary to feel, because sometimes in the almost they reach us those feelings that are not harmful, we cannot lose common sense either, we must respond to our obligations as people, we cannot neglect our daily life or our family just to feel those things, we have to have a balance there too.

As for the limitations, I think that the vast majority of us our limitations are the same as always, the money and the amount of money that we are willing to lose, that is where everything lies, in that sense things when little by little are enjoying , having profits, even if they are minimal, but they are profits, you have to remain satisfied. I think that the maturity of the player is what makes us grow, and the emotions and all those feelings that we have can diminish and we get used to feeling those things. Without leaving aside the most improvised, I say that the biggest problem in all of this is greed, greed, which always wants more, but it is something that we must handle very prudently.

What if we must avoid for all things is to fall into addiction, because addiction does stop good things and does not make us move forward, it is one of the things that we always have to take care of ourselves, I personally have my rules not to fall into it That is why there are times when everyone has their own method, which is something super respectable.

In the case of any type of addiction, no matter that it is only casino, it must be controlled or at least stopped, the havoc caused by any addiction will never be good, any person who can be treated in time will save them bad moments herself and her family, that's why as players who don't have any kind of problem our duty is to help, sometimes we could be saving a life or many lives, personally I think that's the goal.
