I have always wondered why one country dont allow gambling, and there is always a neighbor country that fully allow gambling. Dont that country that does not allow feels pity when other country get more income tax? And I dont understand those countries who ban gambling. Like they get enough funds in budget to cover all their country needs. Licenses can be costly, but often gambling brings good profit to casino owners, so getting licenses isnt a problem. And speaking about gambling as a business, it shouldnt bring profit from very moment casino is opened.
Gambling can provide a large advantage for a country from the taxes applied. In my opinion, it's not that the government in a country doesn't want to have the benefits derived from gambling, but they have several reasons for not legalizing gambling, including; 1. Contrary to religious law, if a country has a majority of adherents who forbid gambling, it is very difficult for that country to legalize gambling because it is contrary to religious norms and if it is legalized it will only become a polemic between the government and society. 2. Social and cultural factors, of course the conditions and culture of society in each country are different. There are those who support gambling and become entrenched in a community environment because this is part of their pleasure and there are also those who oppose gambling because it can have a negative and detrimental impact on the community. And we all need to know that the law is flexible, depending on the conditions in a particular country. But here I support the legalization of gambling in various countries, even though it is against the law, religious and cultural law, but the legalization of gambling can prevent the worse effects of gambling such as fraud and acts of violence. With the participation of the government in gambling, the government itself can control and supervise gambling activities in a country. Thus cases of fraud and acts of violence in the world of gambling can be resolved and minimized. so do you support the legalization of gambling in various countries?

That's because right now not many top players come from Italy and maybe because they tend to be more comfortable and want to stay in Serie A teams is the reason. In italy there are many fans who are racist. A good example was Mario Ballotelli, who even played in the nationalteam and led Inter Milan to 2 championships. Balotelli was insulted and almost every game, thats why he left Italy. The italians who were born in italy know this situation and many do not want to change the country because of it. Or even Gianluigi Donnarumma was insulted by the fans "he should never come back". Italians are very nationalistic and this is a problem. I hope that Gianluca Scamacca simply puts it away, he will not have it easy when he comes back to Italy. From the past until now, the problem of racism is difficult to avoid and for Serie A, it is sometimes not well controlled. I think in this case even the latest there has been another example where some time ago Lukaku also received the same treatment. Although this is not based on Italian players alone but there have been many cases of harsh treatment from some supporters against players. Actually last season there were some big cases of racism also in other competitions and this is quite disturbing in my opinion hopefully there will be further improvements in things like this because this can be increasingly tarnished if left unchecked.

Real Madrid loss against Juventus on pre season match 3-1 last few hours, its become second time in a row for Real Madrid losing in pre season match after last games defeated by Barcelona. Its not really good for Real Madrid although as pre season match because without two weeks later they will play in La Liga. Against Juventus, Real Madrid dominance in ball possession and shot on target but its can't helped Madrid for winning the match.
Last match against Juventus become last pre season match for Real Madrid, next match against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga and Carlo Ancelotti must back to the top performance in domestic league. Although have weakness on striker position after not clear transfer Mbappe, Real Madrid have perform as well as in La Liga and Champion League next season.
Ancelotti is still trying with the same formation in recent matches but it still doesn't seem to be working well. 2 strikers are still difficult for them at the moment because they are used to the standard 4-3-3 formation. I thought it would be good to try this formation in their last match against Juventus but Ancelotti seems to have other thoughts. There are many potential young players in Madrid but what they need is still the instinct to create goals. I'm not saying they're bad at scheming and possession but they're still pretty weak defensively at the moment especially now that they like to lose focus in the final minutes.

I agree, the English Premier League this season is looking interesting, especially with teams like Chelsea, Newcastle, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal showing promising performances last term. It will be intriguing to see how Arsenal and Newcastle maintain their form and surprise us again. While Manchester City is considered the favorite, I believe other top teams will provide tough competition and ensure they don't go unchallenged. Expect surprises and fierce competition in the English Premier League this season!
Chelsea slumped in last season's match because it had to end in 12th place from the top of the standings. Hopefully, Chelsea will have the opportunity to get back into the top five and get the chance to win the Premier League this season. Manchester City looks like it will still be a very tough opponent for many teams because they have added new players such as Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol to strengthen the team. That hope is still there but of course it's not easy especially with last season's performance there must be many people who are skeptical of Chelsea. Currently Chelsea are under high pressure with their transition phase with several changes again and again for players and coaches. At the moment the hope is clear that Poche must take Chelsea in a better direction. Even if maybe this season will not immediately be able to become the strongest contender for the championship but when they change in a good direction and not the same as last season then it is very good for them.

I so much believe in arsenal and the new players they brought to strengthen the squad more knowing that their will be good improvement but looking how the Champions league game will be it will be difficult for arsenal to win champions league. Their are strong teams that will be participating in Premier league and other leagues. I believe arsenal will have a good game in champions league but can't win the league. Manchester City are still the favorite team to win champions league next season.
Hopefully this can be more for them especially by making them one of the most extravagant clubs in the EPL certainly gives more expectations for Arsenal. But of course the Champions League is not as simple as it seems especially we know Arsenal's problem in full schedule conditions makes Arsenal's performance a little different and a drastic decline in performance always occurs. Now is an opportunity for Arsenal because they have not been in the Champions League competition for a long time and this can be a new stepping stone for them to be better again to undergo the season both in domestic competitions and in the Champions League competition.

The match between bayern against liverpool was so amazing. Im getting amaze with kratzig's goal before the game comes to its end. It's unbeliavable shoot from him. Liverpool has been showing great improvements. Gakpo seems more useful this season compared with the last season. It's a very good result from bayern. It seems like that bayern can play even better without sadio mane. Bayern just need another good striker to come from EPL and he will be kane. Bayern doesn't want to pay what Tottenham asked for Kane, and Kane might extend his contract with Tottenham. This is a nice result from bayern being able to beat liverpool with its main squad. I expect something better for bayern soon. Bayern just need to get one of beast striker at this moment. The gap to the manchester city is not so big right now. Tuchel slowly and surely building its squad to be even better compared with last season. Tuchel proved that he is a good coach and h had a good performance in this game because in this match his team amazing comeback against Liverpool and especially in the second they had a good performance while compared to the first half they had a much better performance than the first half and this is the reason for them to win this game against Liverpool. It looks to me that both Bayern Munich and Liverpool are doing better without Sadio Mane. One name I would have loved to see on the score sheet is Mohamed Salah. Although he did put on an impressive performance, goal from Gakpo showed they are ready to take on their domestic league too. It was also good seeing a defender score and Sane and Gnabry too. English league sure produced good players with great talents. Tuchel is of course a good coach and the way Bayern held the game to a win more than confirms their poise to dominant and conquer. It would be lovely seeing Harry Kane play for Bayern should his speculated transfer move be completed. Actually in this case I don't think it has anything to do with Mane because it's not too suitable to compare the condition of the whole club with just Mane alone. Bayern made a very good comeback and it was quite a good achievement for them in this match but I don't think it's very ethical to only compare this to Mane because it's now irrelevant. Right now with Bayern's comeback against Liverpool it proves that what Tuchel planned from the start when setting the squad and the players he would bring for next season was really taken seriously.

To gamble directly at the casino or with friends, I choose to play until the end regardless of whether I win or lose, because besides money, what I'm looking for is fun. If you resign from the game because you have won, I think that's a bad thing that gamblers do, especially if you play gambling with your friends. Because it will be a negative view for you that makes other people reluctant to play with you again. And in my opinion this is something that gambling players need to avoid apart from being a negative view of other people towards you but this can also become a dispute that ends in a fight.
Meanwhile, for online gambling, if I win, I will immediately finish the game and withdraw all the results I get. Unless I get a win but I want to continue playing, what I do is withdraw the initial capital and continue playing from the money generated from the win.
We all have different prioirities in gambling and others main priority is to gain profit even if they don't prioritize competitiveness while others like you made it for fun. Personally, I'm the same. I'm willing to play until the end even if I lose. I remember before that me and my friends are all competitve on playing poker. No one quit until they are eliminated. Honestly, those day were super fun that we all try to wipe each orhers and no hard feelings attached. Right, because most of the time when we play with our closest friends or family it doesn't even seem like gambling but a warm family gathering. Not all may be like that but I personally with my family always do that because the family also has the same thoughts and frequencies as me so I have no trouble doing a system like this when gambling with family and closest friends. But again this depends on our family and friends too because usually there are still those who think differently and that is also not wrong because we also cannot impose our will on others.

In Bavaria, he was getting 25 million a year before taxes, and in Al Nasr he will get 40 million a year after taxes. In terms of money, a perfect decision, but it's hard to see how the career of a football player who was the second contender for the Ballon d'or in just two years went downhill. But the way the Saudis are getting stronger continues to please me.
Mane's performance has declined after he left Liverpool and money is clearly a benchmark more when it is difficult to compete and cannot go anywhere after at Bayern is not wanted and does not see any club that dares to take him except the Arab club so going there is the best thing. Even if Mane is aware that the conditions in his career will not be the same again but it will not matter when money talks btw talking about Arab clubs now seems to be more interesting with so many players who are there. Although the competition and the game will not be the same but with some big players joining this season of course this will also be a greater attraction for Arab clubs. Tuchel did not see Mane as a player of the first squad, so this transition is justified. And by the way, no one will accuse Mane of greed - as far as I remember, he donated a significant part of his salary to improve life in his village where he comes from. Given the poverty of Senegal, this was very significant, now after quadrupling his salary, he will be able to donate more (if he wants). Looking at the situation no one will blame Tuchel because he did what he planned on the other hand this will also not blame Mane for leaving because there is no reason for him to stay in the middle of his condition which is not really needed in the squad and only fills the bench. Now they just have to focus on their respective goals with Mane focusing on his new club and Tuchel focusing on improving Bayern with the plans he will do. Many people regret decisions like this but of course this is the right decision for both parties.

Tidak ada yang sulit dilakukan jika sudah menjadi keputusan bersama, untuk membuat dasar hukum legalisasi perjudian sangat mudah, hari ini di ketok palu sudah jadi.
Mengetok palu tidak semudah mengetok pintu. Ketok palu sekarang maka esok harinya akan ada yang turun kejalan dan itulah yang akan terjadi. Sulit rasanya untuk legalisasi perjudian di negara kita ini karena ini sedikit kontroversial dengan kondisi masyarakat di beberapa daerah yang menentang keras adanya perjudian. Jangankan sampai pada titik ketok palu hanya dalam bentuk draf/perencanaan peraturan saja mereka yang menentang perjudian akan langsung turun kejalan melakukan aksi. Kemudian timbul pertanyaan lanjutan dari legalisasi perjudian, sebagai orang tua normal terlepas apapun agama anda, apakah anda suka jika salah satu anak anda terlibat dalam aktivitas perjudian atau menjadi pecandu judi.?
Saya akan bertanya kembali kepada anda, apakah dengan ilegalnya perjudian bisa membuat anak anda tidak bermain judi..? Karena menurut saya semua ini tergantung pada pendidikan yang diberikan oleh orang tua dan pergaulan anak. Jika orang tua tidak pernah memperingati anaknya, maka sangat memungkinkan anak tersebut menjadi pemain judi ditambah dengan lingkungan sekitarnya yang dapat mempengaruhi seseorang menjadi pemain judi. Dan terlepas legal ataupun illegal, jika judi illegal mereka akan bermain secara sembunyi-sembunyi dan jika sudah legal mereka akan berani bermain secara terang-terangan.

Is it possible for a casino to go bankrupt because a player gets a very big win?
In my opinion, this is an impossible thing to happen, the casino went bankrupt because of the many players who won. And I think the casino has more control and rules for everyone who plays there. With so many players winning, this will actually be the main attraction for the casino which will attract the attention of people to play there because they see a sizable chance of winning. When the casinos are more crowded, the profits will increase and I think those who own casinos are smarter than those who play. One thing that can make a casino bankrupt is that there are no more people visiting and playing there which results in the casino losing money. So as long as people have an interest in gambling then casino venues will still exist and survive.

Sports betting can be profitable for some, but it's not suitable for everyone.
I agree with you, most people love sports but not all of them do sports betting. Sports betting is only for those who want to add excitement and thrill when watching matches and have a special love for certain sports or those who have good analytical skills I myself have a love for the ball club, so if the club plays then I will not hesitate to make a bet to add to the sensation while watching the game even though for example the opponent they face is stronger than the club I hold but for some reason I feel there is a separate belief to my favorite club. And maybe this is also what makes me and some people who bet on sports suffer losses, because it is hard to place bets without seeing the opponent from the club that we hold. And are you also like that? But there are also those who not only have a love for the ball club but they like the name betting. So that when they place bets not only on the club they love but also on every football match, they usually do further analysis before starting to bet and determine which club they belong to.

Demo accounts are useful because they allow beginners to experiment without putting their own money at risk. You are right, though, that they do have some restrictions. Since there is no risk of losing money in a practice mode, you wont feel the same range of emotions that you would with a real money account.
But I feel like demo mode and real mode are different. When you gamble using demo mode, you tend to win and make profit. This will give you an impression where gambling is really easy to make money like when you gamble in demo mode. But when you try to make deposit and gamble on real mode, most of the times you're only lose and keep losing. It is clear that the demo and real modes are very different and the feeling when playing them is different. Demo mode is just a form of simulation of how the game is. If you win, it's normal and if you lose, it sucks. Just a demo, you have to lose. There's also no sensation or challenge when playing it, even though it's not in vain playing it because it's easier for us to understand the rules of the game before playing for real. Meanwhile, when playing real, sometimes it's different when we play in demo mode, but that can be an illustration when playing. When playing real there are full of thrills and challenges that increase our passion to keep playing and nothing more amazing when playing real gambling is when you get a big win in the last seconds before the end of the game.

What is the most mad thing you have done due to your gambling addictions besides trying to win back what have already been lost and loosing even more or placing ridiculous amounts on ridiculous bets?
I think everyone has done silly things when gambling, whether it's playing by inflating bets like crazy or those who play without paying attention to the rules first which in the end leads to defeats and losses. But not everyone can realize this and continue to play and deepen defeat. and most people can realize that when their bankroll is gone and there is no more money to gamble with. When we are able to realize the carelessness that has been done and are able to evaluate it, then this allows us to become proficient gambling players. Because there are no proficient gambling players who have never experienced defeat and I think that learning from experience is easier. even if evaluating it doesn't make you a reliable player, at least this can minimize losses when playing. Oh, man, dealing with a gambling addiction has taken me through some real rollercoasters. You know, besides those obvious moments of desperately trying to recoup my losses and getting carried away with ridiculously high-stakes bets, there have been times when I got caught up in a web of lies. I found myself fibbing to the people I care about, hiding the extent of my gambling activitise and the amount of money I was throwing away. It's surreal how addiction can drive you to do things you never thought you'd consider. But hey, I'm not just sitting around feeling sorry for myself. I'm actively taking steps to turn things around. It's a tough journey, no doubt, but I'm committed to seeking help and support to break free from this cycle. It's not somthing that changes overnight, but I'm determined to make these positive changes and rediscover healthier ways to deal with life's challenges. And trust me, it's not just about winning or losing money anymore; it's about regaining control of my life and finding a sense of balance that was lost in the chaos of addiction. So, yeah, that's a slice of my crazy journey. But I'm hopeful that as I keep moving forward, I'll be able to look back and see how far I've come. It's not going to be easy, but I know Ive got the strength to handle it. One step at a time, right? And if anyone else out thre is struggling with something similar, just know that you're not alone, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. We all got this right?! A piece of the story that is quite interesting as a lesson for the future. Sometimes selfishness makes us forget everything, we forget that there are many people around us who love us, especially our family. Likewise arrogance when making bets without considering it first which makes us forget that there is something more important than just betting with big bets. And it's true that in order to get out of this phase apart from our internal encouragement, we also need external encouragement so that we are even stronger to face it. However, sometimes a person is reluctant to share the problem, especially when talking about gambling, which in my opinion is quite sensitive and private. Realizing that we cannot leave gambling because after all some of our fun is in it and what we need to improve is our playing patterns and be wiser in gambling.

~snip~ There are, indeed, more losers than winners, as you so accurately put it. It's a harsh thing to swallow, but the house always wins in a casino. Those participating in a game typically face unfair odds. But what if we flip the script and view gambling not as a means of subsistence but as a pastime instead? One that has a cost, just like everything else? It's not unlike purchasing admission to a theater or concert
Yeah, the number of losers absolutely destroy the number of winners, over the entire existence of casinos. There's only a handful of people that have won against the casino, specially if you consider non-trivial sums of money. And yeah, it can be seen as entertainment, but most entertainment has a fixed cost, or a maximum cost per hour, in a casino you can go crazy and lose all your life savings overnight. Therefore we must be more realistic in this regard because it is impossible to gamble with the aim of getting a daily income in gambling even with large capital. It's not that gambling isn't profitable because when we gamble when we have high luck, we will get a return that may be more than expected, but it won't happen every day. Enjoy the gambling you do. Don't push your luck too much because sometimes it can actually make your emotional condition and ambition increase dramatically which makes you not focus on the game you are doing because you are closed to your emotions.

In this new season, the game is full of competition as all the teams are changing players but somehow not able to score goals. I noticed that both teams missed a lot of goals because they were not able to score due to lack of suitable strikers. Meanwhile, Barcelona though Milan could not attack as much as Barcelona were very aggressive here. Despite many attacks from Milan's D box, Barcelona could not succeed and won by only one goal. Where the margin of victory between Barcelona and Milan was wide, Barcelona managed to win by a small margin. During the game, from the first half until half time, two teams, Barcelona and Milan, were having a very competitive match. But I think the Milan team definitely needed an experienced and capable striker.
Xavi showed last season that he puts a lot of emphasis on defense, and friendly games show that he doesn’t change his tactics, everything remains the same, of all the control matches they played, they conceded only in the match with Arsenal, everyone else matches, their gates remained dry. So far, I really like how Barcelona play, I would like to see them in the Champions League. It seems that they are still trying to create their own era at the moment and indeed Xavi's current move is still very good. So far their friendlies have gone very well and today they also managed to win again with a narrow score. Of course with results like this in friendly matches the expectations for Barcelona are greater than last season especially now Xavi must emphasize that they must try harder so as not to lose again in the Champions League group phase for the 3rd time in a row. Currently the rumors about Dembele are also still very busy and they must try to finish quickly in order to find a replacement with a 100 million clause from the sale of Dembele if it really happens.

Would like to know your takes on betting as a group to raise chances in local Lotteries
I know that mathematically the chances are still really low even if you multiply it 100x but in Brazil at least we’ve seen some local lottery prizes given for small groups of 20 or 30 people betting betting with 5000x tickets let’s say
If dreaming alone is cool dreaming in groups can be even better
Yep, at least it's more likely than doing it yourself but it's still a bit tricky in terms of the final prize distribution at the end. Unless everyone has agreed on the number of tickets purchased and the amount of prizes they will get if they are lucky. But on the other hand, gathering people like this will be a little complicated, especially with the number of tickets purchased by each person, which obviously must have the same level or the same amount, which could be a hindrance. I don't really like lotteries but indeed if there are people who like games like this I think the way OP did can still be an alternative.

The hottest news is about chelsea is strongly linked to the mbappe's transfer. PSG feels so desperate in selling mbappe as soon as possible. I do know that PSG wanna sell mbappe as soon as possible. The club is now exploring the possible way to get mbappe. PSG has approached Chelsea to sign Mbappe from the club, but Chelsea has not disclosed the type of offer that Todd's club will present.. As far as i know if chelsea will able to offer some cash + some players owned by the club now. I think that PSG can try to consider chelsea's offer. Chelsea wanna gives some of its players. I remember when ziyech was almost signed by PSG last season. It's now the time for PSG to think about that. it's better to accept chelsea's offer rather than try to let mbappe leaves for free. Todd boehly already in contact with PSG's president regarding this. 90min understands Al-Khelaifi has now contacted Chelsea and their supremo Todd Boehly about the prospect of signing Mbappe in an attempt to push them towards making an offer. https://www.90min.com/posts/psg-contact-chelsea-attempt-push-kylian-mbappe-transferPSG seem to be getting confused now because they know that if they don't quickly get Mbappe out, the price will clearly affect especially when he can leave freely next season. But even so it seems that the ego of PSG is still high instead of renegotiating with Madrid they actually made several talks with other clubs and even the Arab league they served. Now will Mbappe also reject Chelsea again just like he did to the Arab club? Or maybe he will be at Chelsea and create a new rivalry with Haaland with Chelsea's ailing condition? This is worth waiting for.

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/It is reported that Buffon's agent will hold a meeting in the coming days to discuss termination of the contract, thus Buffon will decide to retire at the age of 45. Buffon still has one year left on his contract with Parma, but frequent injuries have forced him to retire and refuse to continue his career in the SPL. It is time for Buffon to enjoy his time beside his family, he is the oldest goalkeeper who is still active today. After retiring, Buffon received an offer to fill the position of Chief of Delegation for the Italian National Team. Agree with what you said. Buffon is already one of the legends and 45 years is definitely one of the veterans of football that deserves appreciation. Fabrizio in his tweet has said that in a few days he will officially say that he will hang up his boots. Great appreciation must be given to this player. He is one of the legends of Italy and Serie A, especially maybe for Juventus, which indeed sees Buffon's career record for a very long time at Juventus and it can even be said that Buffon's golden career is at Juventus. now he just needs to relax with his family and enjoy the times after becoming an ordinary person and letting go of his career.

PSG needs experienced players in attack. This is PSG's main weakness at the moment. We still don't know which players Enrique is considering as replacements for Messi and Mbappe. On the other hand, even though PSG's defense has experienced players, their performance is not good. Luis Enrique needs to work more on PSG's defense. I think Luis Enrique will add new players to PSG's attack and midfield soon. Despite PSG's defeat, Tader's gameplay has seen some improvement. In the previous match, they lost 3-2 against Japanese team Cerezo Osaka.
In this match it looked like Enrique wanted to try to explore some of his players in new positions. Like Asensio, who has always been a winger but has been used as a targetman even though it is also often done in Madrid but we also know Asensio's performance is a little less if he is in that position. Another example is Vitinha who was forced to move up to right winger which is a little off his original position. Their possession is still just as dire but looking at the chances created I think there is still a lot of work to be done. But the good thing in this case is that their squad is not in the mode of some players who just dominate because they act as a team not as individuals which i like.
