41  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Addiction is 100% your choice: on: July 17, 2024, 05:06:27 AM
I hesitate to say this, but to be honest, I once experienced an addiction and stopped avoiding any online media and it was all because of my carelessness, I couldn't manage my finances and couldn't control myself to bet according to a predetermined schedule. But after I removed myself from the online world for a long time, I came back in a better condition without addiction.

After everything passed, this time I felt like I was never addicted (after I recovered) because I now have my own rules for betting on lower risks such as sports betting and set a budget not to spend more than $200. This way I am more comfortable and never feel addicted because I bet only on the sport I currently like without having to bet on other bets just to indulge my passion.

Maybe once in a while I bet on a casino game (which has a higher risk of addiction) and when I feel like I'm looking bad, I'll leave the casino game.

Trading vs. Gambling

Trading is similar speculative like Gambling because in Trading, we make a speculation if, for example, Bitcoin’s price or any Altcoin’s price will go up or down. We can’t predict it for sure but we can analyze patterns and market movements to make a decision. Similar, like Gambling, Trading is also based on luck because no one can predict if and when a price of an asset will go up or down, we can only speculate.
It will not be speculative if you choose the right coin and depending on the type of trading you choose for example trading long term on BTC coins.

For me, speculative is true (on alt coins/meme coins for the short term) but when it comes to trading, it is actually different from gambling because trading is easier to analyze and has lower risk. While gambling, there will always be surprises even when betting on sports betting, sometimes a team that looks strong will be defeated by a weak team.
On the one hand, trading doesn't always result in big losses even if we predict the price of the coin incorrectly, but at least we don't lose our entire budget. Compared to gambling, we always lose our entire budget in just a short time.

Unless you are referring to trading (Future) which can be said to be similar to gambling, then I will agree with your opinion.

So I ask each and everyone What are the other bad effects of gambling that make you stop or limit how you play?
Another bad effect of gambling too often.

  • 1. Messy sleep patterns make you physically vulnerable to disease.
  • 2. Irregular eating patterns can disrupt health.
  • 3. It is difficult to control emotions in any case because emotions are driven by losing money from gambling.

That's what I experienced before and now I realize that all of these are very bad bad effects of gambling too often and I realize it. In the end, I chose to bet on a type of bet that makes me more comfortable, such as betting on sports or esports, which doesn't require spending a lot of time to entertain myself and there are no bad effects from everything I'm doing at the moment.
44  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's better to make a good profit – Sports bet or online Casino? on: July 17, 2024, 03:56:10 AM
To gain profit or luck in gambling, there are several things that we currently know.

  • 1. Casino games have the advantage of getting big jackpots, even up to 100,000x in slot games. (Still depends on luck)
  • 2. Sports betting has the advantage of getting large amounts from parlay bets to combine several matches to get higher odds and some people have won from parlay bets with odds @100+ (Still depends on luck because in sports betting there is always a surprise, favorite team will be defeated the underdog team)

In conclusion, all types of betting carry their own risks and have different levels of profit. But the difference is that the level of risk in sports betting depends on the odds we choose and if we choose to bet on an option with low odds, we certainly won't take a big risk. Meanwhile, in casino games, we cannot choose how much risk we will take.
45  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Being hesitant could make or break you. on: July 17, 2024, 03:13:39 AM
What's the best way to overcome the problems of uncertainty and hesitation when determining an amount to wager?
Quite simply, use money that you don't use for everyday needs or, in other words, use the money that can afford to be lost.  Only in this way can overcome doubts when betting on a sport.

Logically, a bettor will be doubtful about his own bet when using money he can't afford to lose and when the opponent team scores we'll start worrying if we lose later and we're definitely going to do a cashout. Meanwhile, the game ended with a win that disappointed us after making a cash out and thinking "if I don't do a cash out, I'll get a bigger win."

So the advice for anyone who's betting on any sport would be better to use $1 or $5 but give us a sense of comfort on our bet than using $100-$1000 but make you uncomfortable.
46  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What makes a gambler becomes addicted? Lose/winning? on: July 17, 2024, 02:35:14 AM
An gambler who can be addicted begins with the first win that drives his mind to assume if gambling can make money and after that they will bet again and become a bigger loser after that thinking of chasing the defeat and making addiction. But gambling addiction is also not just about losing or winning but also related to relieving emotions or depression of his life and spilling all his emotions in gambling and ignoring how much money they have spent on gambling.
47  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Copa America 2024 Prediction Thread on: July 15, 2024, 03:18:10 AM
In today's copa America Argentina vs Colombia final match, Colombia is showing a really good performance. They are playing equally against a strong team like Argentina. The first half ended in a 0-0 draw with equal performances from both teams. Now the second half has started, as usual both teams continue to perform evenly. If the match continues like this, it will eventually go to Tribecar. Now let's see if Argentina can do anything before that.
Argentina is not playing well. Meanwhile, Messi has just left the field due to injury.  And it is seen that Messi is breaking down in tears without being able to play the whole match.  Even after 70 minutes of the game, neither team could score a single goal. Final match so both teams try to play well but still no goals. I support Argentina and I'm a big fan of Messi, so the fact that Messi can't play is really bothering me too. I still expect win from Argentina
This is very worrying because after Messi left the field, Argentina had to replace a few more players like Gonzalo Montiel. Argentina hopes are still great despite having to play without Messi in the remainder of this last minute at least can end the draw to get a bigger chance to win trophy.
Argentina so far a good performance and still can give a deadly attack and even score but unfortunately offside. I'm pretty sure Argentina can win.

Yesterday was like a lucky day for me, and I hope today gets the same result.




Some of my predictions today are a little late on map 1 and I will try to take luck on map 2.

As if the Falcons had a chance to score 2-0 and the LDG on map 1 seemed to have a hard time dealing with OG. Looks like under 40 minutes is the best choice and it's not gonna happen Megacreep




Update
It's a so bad to always get a 1x defeat out of 3 matches.


49  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season on: July 14, 2024, 05:44:45 AM
Last season Arsenal managed to reach the quarter-finals, where expectations for Arteta's fleet were actually quite good, but in the end they failed at the hands of Bayern who were experiencing setbacks. Madrid, City and Bayern next season will be the main forces in the race for the trophy, and other candidates such as Arsenal are behind them. Arsenal's main priority is the Premier League, even though they are still trying their best in the Champions League, it is quite difficult to appear balanced in every competition.
Arsenal just needs a lot of experience in the UCL before they can get the UCL title. I mean actually Arsenal is focused on the EPL to win the title in the domestic league but Arteta also wants great experience to continue to see Arsenal shortcomings. So everyone already knows what will happen if Arsenal will definitely fail again in the UCL and return to focus on the EPL but there they will also fail.
This is what Arteta wants to learn to manage the team well arranging the match schedule to remain consistent in several competitions and this has been Arsenal weakness while under Arteta tutelage.

I said in another thread that actually Arsenal doesn't need to chase too much in the UCL but just focus on getting a title in the domestic league to improve the mental readiness of the players and if that all works, I'm sure in the UCL, Arsenal can perform even better.
50  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: July 14, 2024, 05:33:04 AM
Next season will be a very interesting one seeing that kloop won't be anymore in Liverpool and it would be more interesting seeing how some of the big team have made arrangements to actually make thing's a little hard for Manchester city because they can afford to make errors that will make Manchester city become champions of the league anymore  and Liverpool are one of the best teams that can stop there.
Liverpool looks like they will compete with a little difficulty in finding a good strategy, they must have a coach who can see the situation and condition of their players on the field. This has been a tough start to the season for Liverpool. I see that currently Arne Slot is the coach of Liverpool. Hopefully under his coaching Liverpool can achieve victory or at least stay at the top of the standings.
Of course Liverpool will experience a little confusion at the start of the season and that is very natural because Arne Slot is with Liverpool for the first time and needs a little time to understand what the team needs. Liverpool doesn't need to chase the impossible and just needs to adapt with a new coach to immediately find the best way to put together the right strategy to continue competing in the top three positions in the standings.
Arne Slot doesn't need much more because Liverpool already have the perfect line up and only need a small overhaul.

Liverpool may not need to focus too much on chasing the EPL title because Man City seems to have the same performance as before and should be more focused on beating Arsenal who currently have big plans to shift Man City position to get the EPL title
51  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 14, 2024, 05:24:46 AM
As far as I know, Bayern Munich does not have any big plans for Matthijs de Ligt in the upcoming future. So It is probably best for him to actually leave the club and go somewhere where he will have a big role in the future. Manchester United does not seem to be a very good club in which you would want to stay for a very long period of time and also think about having a great future. Especially at this moment. Maybe there is a conversation going on between him and Ten Hag. that's why he is convinced to join Manchester United. But many of the football fans including me are not convinced that it is going to be a very good idea for him.

And yes he also brought up a very good point, which is about the money. Manchester United is broke right now. So I don’t think they will be able to afford expensive players like him very easily.

Matthijs de Ligt is still under contract until 2027 with Bayern Munich, but Manchester United has the opportunity to bring him to Old Trafford if they dare to pay 50 million. I think Matthijs de Ligt will be retained by Kompany, even though personally there is an emotional attraction between the player and Ten Hag. Ten Hag seems to want to build Manchester United by trying to unite some of his mainstay players when he was Ajax manager, maybe that is an effective way to make Manchester United performance better. If Manchester United management succeeds in releasing several of their players to the Saudi Pro League in the transfer window, they will easily recruit Matthijs de Ligt.
Matthijs de Ligt will not be able to join Man United before his current team can return to its best position. I mean, Munich is currently in a bad condition after being left Tuchel with several problems that have not been resolved and Kompany job is to solve all these problems.
Last season we could see where Munich problems lay and it occurred in a weak defense that needed improvement selling several players who were not very productive while De Light still had high productivity and always made a very good contribution in every match.
Even though Man United will be able to pay a large amount to recruit this player, there is one thing that I am very sure of, namely that Munich will keep De Light until his contract expires.
52  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 14, 2024, 05:04:43 AM
But strangely last year Napoli and Osimhen agreed to extend the contract and we don't know if it was just Napoli's attempt to secure Osihen from leaving for free. Indeed, recently we heard that Napoli wanted to release Osimhen the reason is Napoli finances. I would prefer to see Osimhen playing in the Premier league so he knows what the real competition is like, we know that competition in the Premier League is very different from Serie A even though Osimhen has been the best in Serie A, it is not certain that he can do it in the Premier League.
Initially, Napoli retained Osimhen and offered him a contract extension, all because the team management still relied heavily on the player and had not yet found the right coach. After Conte arrival everything changed and the management really believed in the coach's plan to keep other players and sell them to other teams.
As we can see Conte actually wants Lukaku not Osimhen and that is very natural because every professional coach knows the right players for the team and that is the reason I know.

Regarding Osimhen move to the EPL to gain great experience, it seems that Serie A is the same as the EPL which has tough competition. It's just that the EPL provides new experiences for these players so they can have a good career in the future and this is the right reason for me.

Meanwhile, without underestimating Leverkusen, Xabi fleet will not necessarily be able to repeat an impressive season like last season, it could be that next season a club like Dortmund, Stuttgart or Leipzig will succeed in lifting the trophy. There are many possibilities that could happen, and Kompany certainly understands the risks he will take if he fails to meet expectations. The preparations and adjustments that Kompany is currently making are quite good, the opportunity to bring Bayern back to dominating the Bundesliga next season is very open.
The five teams you mentioned, including Bayern Munich, are teams that are often at the top of the standings so it would be quite embarrassing for Kompany if he couldn't bring Bayern Munich back to dominating the Bundesliga next season even though he is the new coach at Bayern Munich. Because a big team like Bayern Munich always wants better results in a short time, even though a new coach actually also needs time to be able to make better preparations and adjustments once they are in the team.
Some of the teams discussed here would probably exclude Leipzig from the list of candidates for title holders next season. I don't doubt Leipzig, but looking at last season and the player transfers made by the team, it is not convincing enough that Leipzig can surprisingly win the title, beating Munich and Dortmund.
Regarding bringing in Kompany which is still seen as a problem in the coming season, I think that's the wrong idea and actually Munich is not one of the teams that wants to get instant results but this team chose Kompany just to enjoy the process of getting big achievements with a coach who hasn't yet too popular like Xabi.

Leverkusen, who won the bundesliga title for the first time, has so far provided great motivation for most of the teams in the Bundesliga and Munich is one of the teams that is motivated by Leverkusen's results. Give Kompanya a chance and he will prove that he can succeed with Munich.
54  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: July 14, 2024, 03:41:30 AM
Apart from that, teams like Girona and Atletico Madrid will not remain silent watching the process that Real Madrid is building.
-snip
Yes, currently Conor is being targeted by several clubs, including Atletico Madrid. However, I am not too sure that Conor can be brought in by Atletico Madrid, because as we know, currently he is still a mainstay player in Chelsea's midfield. So you can be sure that Chelsea will make things a little difficult for any club that wants to bring in Conor at a high price. The reason is, Chelsea also has to think about two possibilities if they sell Conor. If interested clubs cannot afford Conor's fees, Chelsea will definitely extend Conor's contract. However, if for example Atletico Madrid or another club dares to spend large amounts of money to bring in Conor from Chelsea, then you can be sure Chelsea will make a profit plus they will be able to buy new players who are no less good. than Conor in the future.
If we think logically, Chelsea will not let go of their flagship player, because Chelsea is in a bad situation of losing its glory days and Chelsea management is very confident in building a stronger team and maybe this is the reason why ATM will most likely not be able to bring in Conor Gallagher. And on the one hand paying €55 million maybe an ATM could do it but the team is also thinking about not being too hasty in spending large amounts of money just for one player. But this just IMO.

And from several lists of players linked to ATM written @TeloletOm, this will actually be an alternative for ATM if it fails to bring in Conor, of course they will choose from one of these players to forget about recruiting Conor.

It seems that this time Tundra is very much in favorite but it's a pity that I'm too busy and a little disappointed not to be able to bet in the early game Tunda vs PSG.
But in today's second game I have a strong prediction if the outcome will be the same as yesterday. TS and GG have a great chance of winning 2-0

There is nothing wrong with Kompany's recruitment to Munich, indeed last season he was less successful in the Premier League but that was not the fault of his strategy but rather a matter of the lack of quality players there, looking at the game strategy he implemented. very good. and he is also a genius at playing with ball control, but is a factor that makes it difficult for players to win.

 Last season Munich also conceded very easily and of course with the presence of their former defender it seems they will definitely focus on defense because if you look at Munich's attack line they are very ready with the star players they have, so I will do that. optimistic that Kompany's lineup can make maximum use of it. the best for Munich, because he sees he has the ability and of course this is an opportunity to make it happen with Munich.
Sometimes we think deeper regarding Munich decision to bring in this coach, but that is one of the best ways for them to build a stronger team, even though Kompany doesn't have great achievements, he also deserves the opportunity to become a reliable coach like the Leverkusen coach. Of course, players are one of the most obvious comparisons because currently Kompany is more confident and can do anything to develop his career with Munich to take this team to a higher level with high quality players.

After the arrival of the new coach, the fact is that the coach immediately understood what was happening and had to make changes to Munich defense line which was very weak last season and finally the coach was able to bring in several defense players to regain greater strength. And all of that is Kompany goal to perfect the defense and attack lines.

Every day I come to the thread and Madrid is at the center of discussion and tournament hasn't even started yet. I would love to hear all of you flip your opinions when Madrid doesn't get to win the trophy for the 2024/2025 season. I'm well aware that Madrid has been on fire in the UCL in recent years (yes, they took two trophies from Liverpool in that same time period), but there's still abig possibility that they won't be winning the trophy for the next year. They only managed to win it last time because City, Bayern and even Dortmund came very close but they just missed all their chances otherwise, it would've been a different story.

Keep options open guys.

I totally agree. I also see the same discussions whenever I check what's going on here. 79 pages already while even only the qualification phase is active. Real Madrid is the main topic on most of them.

I can't find many things to discuss about right now truthfully. Because even transfers are newly starting to be made by big teams. While we don't have any idea about the last condition of the squads and haven't watched their matches yet, it is hard to express an opinion. I can only agree on one thing here, Real Madrid are getting much stronger with Mbappe and more transfers to come for especially the defense area.  Smiley
In the UCL thread we will continue to find Madrid, in the EPL thread we will find Man City, in the bundesliga we will find Leverkusen and Munich, in league 1 we will find PSG. That's how football fans always brag about big teams that are successful and will forget about other teams that are failing.
Sometimes I also feel bored even though I am a Madrid fan but I don't really like it if this team is overrated. This is all because football always has surprises that we cannot predict, even though Madrid is a team that looks stronger after Mbappe arrival, but Munich has Kane and Man City has Haaland who is as reliable as Mbappe.
58  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: July 13, 2024, 09:09:36 AM
Éder Militão is currently unable to contribute fully on the pitch, but when Real Madrid wants to bring in another new player to replace Éder Militão this seems too excessive. Maybe they can consider sticking with the players they have rather than having to buy more because it will cost them a lot of money. for new players again. At least Carlo Ancelotti must consider this carefully so that there are no problems regarding Real Madrid's finances in the future.
Ancelotti knows a player who is already unworthy of being defended and has to find a replacement to fill a vacancy in an unproductive player. And if you know the talent that Éder Militão has, he's actually worthy of being defended, not because Madrid doesn't want to waste a lot of money, but indeed he has a very reliable talent and Ancelotti does not want to make a big change on a perfect line of defense.

Madrid has always been heartfelt in the move to sell players or bring new players, because the legacy of this team has a reputation to keep on being cared for and always prioritizes the right players to have high productivity and the Éder Militão has all that. So there's no choice but to keep that reliable defender.

It's crazy, PSG is linked to a Portuguese player and offers €60 million, while Man United has previously been linked with this player because I know the goal of Man United is to recruit more young players to be ready for a new challenge next season. But what about PSG?  Does the PSG really have a plan to bring João Neves?

PSG is usually more interested in professional players and ignores their age but this time Enrique seems to be serious about building a team with the contribution of young players. Although Benfica retained João Neves for €120 million, I'm sure PSG could have paid for it. But for me €120m for such a young player doesn't make any sense.

To be honest, I'm not too sure about Juventus, they haven't made any changes, including bringing in new players. Juventus is still in the same problem as last season financial constraints so there's nothing they can do, what can we expect when Juventus next season plays with the same squad? instead of competing with Inter Milan even to stay in the top 4 is a good achievement. Serie A has been less interesting in recent seasons we don't see fierce competition there and only dominated by 1-3 teams.
Who knows, next season will be more different from last season, even though Juventus still hasn't done anything, including bringing in new players to the current Juventus squad. Because if we talk about fierce competition, of course Serie A was not much fiercer than the Premier League last season and it is likely that it will be the same next season. However, everyone is definitely hoping for something very different next season in Serie A so that the competition is not so boring and can continue to create a level of competition until the end of the season like in the Premier League last season.
Juventus is likely to remain the same as last season and some of the new players brought in, all of them have ordinary talents and only attackers will be trusted. All this is because of the financial crisis that Juventus is experiencing but this team is trying to get a satisfactory result despite being in the top three or maybe even worse.
Next season, Juventus dream of returning to its time of achievement must be deleted from the list of plans because what Juventus needs today is only to survive to compete for the Scudetto although it's impossible.
