Yeah it is half way thru the season and they are break for the rest of the summer that is left until end of August.
Three week hiatus seems like a very long time to wait until the next race. But Red bull are going into comfortably infront of the rest of the pack.
Ferrari as Leclerc has said have been making questionable calls when it comes to his car.
Tyre changes cost him this race and everybody can see that.
Due to the start of the football season, this break will pass very quickly (at least for me). I even missed the last race completely because I was distracted by football. As for the results, I can say that they are very sad, since the intrigue dies very quickly and it is no longer clear what should happen to revive it. Ferrari surprises - sometimes technical problems, sometimes miscalculations of the team, sometimes just a unluck, but something negative happens to them all the time. I wonder if there is a chance that this black bar will end? |

I agree with you, without real money in gambling the games like poker or blackjack become very different. I used to play some poker only with play money to try some new strategies and found that people play more aggressive if it's not there own money they lose. There were so many more All ins happening that it became not realistic to keep trying out new strategies. To me the excitement in gambling comes not only from winning or losing, but also from the chance to win a big jackpot. Without the chances of winning real money the thrill is not there. It would be nice to have a casino where you can only win, unfortunately that is not realistic. For us to have the chance to win a jackpot, we must also face the chance to lose money. The only real alternative I see to money would be to gamble with things. For example, you could gamble with your PS4 and if you win you get another one. I did that in the past with CSGO skins, it was a nice way to build up my inventory.
But in any case, any thing (if it is not a unique collector's item) is just a replacement for money and nothing changes: if candy wrappers cost nothing, then people do not appreciate them, so the game for money and candy wrappers is very different. As for testing strategies, this should work (for most strategies) on candy wrappers - if you play seriously, and your opponents do not, then if your strategy works even a little bit, then you should easily beat your opponents, right? |

Usually no but if there's stuff there that attracts me, maybe I will try it. Prior to doing that of course, there should be enough positive reviews on the site and I also should see some negative reviews too for me to know that those review page I have encountered is not truly manipulated by that said sites.
In case no reviews around, even how good the site is, with stunning effect and design and wonderful promotions for new users, I might not try the site but it's now on my watchlist as I wait for more reviews. Sometimes, scam sites are not putting effort into the design of the site so maybe I will give an exception on other new sites with stunning designs with proper caution.
What stuff can attract you to a new project? Taking into account the fact that the set of games is almost the same everywhere, and if we are talking about sports betting, then the odds are also approximately the same everywhere. Probably these are bonuses (especially bonuses when registering and making the first deposit). Often they look very attractive, but I never use them, as this initially introduces "tension" in the relationship between the player and the casino. |

They are now will reopen prior to the recent lockdown due to low gambling activity in there casino towards the covid-19 lockdown. This is always the dilemma of country that has a huge gambling economy. They are now risking the health of there citizen just to get back again the profit from there gambling business. I think this will make worst there current covid-19 situation.
I think that the health of local residents will suffer much more if the restrictions continue to work and the economy continues to stagnate. In my opinion, in 2022 it is no longer relevant to talk about the dangers of the virus, since it has mutated into a much milder form than before and has become no more dangerous than a common cold. Life goes on as usual and there is always some risk, but you can not endlessly "safely" sit at home and do nothing. |

I know die-hard gamblers that travel internationally just because it is illegal to gamble in their home country. Banning gambling isn’t a solution. Those people will find a way. Some of them are not even rich. They just live near the border of a gambler-friendly country and visit them when they gather enough money. Of course they always return empty handed because that’s how gambling works.
This is not a problem for those who decide to follow the path of prohibitions. You can always ban travel abroad, export money, ban VPN (to prevent online gambling), etc. The scary thing is that there will always be people who will be arranged by such measures, if only there was a good pretext. In my opinion, it is wrong to stop some theoretical future violations with the help of human rights violations in advance. |

I cannot remember having made a cashout before a match ended. If I made a cashout, probably for only 1 or 2 times. But I remember contemplating on doing it a number of times. That's when you can see that a comeback is possible. But I normally just stick to my bet until the end.
In the case of counter betting, I made a few only because I was convinced that the team I placed a bet on earlier is probably gonna lose. So it was not about the odds really. It wasn't about making profit. It was simply about trying to recover my potential loss.
Sometimes events in the game develop in such a way that a comeback becomes really very likely (for example, the removal of a player from a team that has an advantage) and theoretically it makes sense to make a cashout. But bookmakers take into account such changes in the situation much faster than ordinary players, so it is difficult to cash out with good odds, usually they are already very unprofitable. But if we are talking about a premonition based not on facts, but simply on intuition, then this works. |

Past accomplishments don't guarantee anything, especially if we're talking about tournaments like the Copa América (where Argentina has one big rival, Brazil) or the Finalisima, FIFA's next "important" one-game tournament. Argentina has a good team, but there will be many good teams at the World Cup and they will definitely not be the favorite there. As for Messi, even earlier, from tournament to tournament, his contribution was unstable, so it is not known how well he will play in Qatar.
Messi's contribution to his national team has not been bad. However, it has not yet reached the level we expect. In the 2018 World Cup, the performance of Lionel Messi was not very stellar. In 2014, however, I believe we can safely say he was the one who carried Argentina to the World Cup finals by himself. But the problem is he is not getting younger. He is quite old right now and that is obviously going to have an effect on his performance. Personally, I don’t think he will be able to do anything amazing in the upcoming World Cup. But if we do see something amazing from him I think there is no reason to be surprised as it is going to be his last World Cup. He had both successful tournaments (with a national team) and not so good ones. If I remember correctly at the 2010 World Cup, he was the record holder for the number of shots thrown but scored 0 goals and made 0 assists. He is getting older and this will be his last World Cup, but I think a lot will depend on the shape in which he comes to this competition - if he is ok then the age will not be felt much. But in general, everything will depend on the general condition of the team, plus on the opponents, everyone has a chance. |

Tickets for the 2022 Women's Euro final game between hosts England and Germany are already sold out, breaking the previous record for both the women's and men's tournament finals. The game will take place on Sunday night at Wembley Stadium. This is one of Germany's eight European championships, and it is a rematch of the 2009 final, in which Germany defeated England 6-2.
Strong England vs. unyielding Germany will make for an exciting matchup between two of the finest teams in the competition. Beth Mead and Alexandra Popp, who have both scored six goals, will compete for the tournament's golden boot.
I heard that there are also record numbers in television broadcasts (number of countries and audience share). I wonder if this is due to the fact that women's football is developing on its own or the fact that the men's world championship was postponed to the fall, so the hungry spectators watched the women's European championship with increased interest. I have seen only a few games, but I can say that due to the large number of goals, this is a quite watchable competition, even though women are much inferior to men in athleticism. |

If we check deep facts about all teams and their possible players then surely I am feeling France is moth lethal team in this world cup with have full ability to defend their title because they have too many quality players for all departments and these players are already doing good job in their clubs, and we can call them cream of Europe because of their strong play and quality.
With this comparison there is no competition with Argentina which is mostly depending on Messi and others are also good but have no enough quality like France and this is going to be the biggest difference between these teams here Brazil is also having few good players but comparison they are also not good enough like European teams which are currently good and having better quality for winning.
I agree that France is very strong, but this does not guarantee anything especially at the playoff stage. If you recall the last European Championship, then France was just as strong there as it is now, but in the end they were eliminated at the 1/8 final stage, and it was knocked out by not the strongest Swiss team. In fact, I would be happy to see in the champions some team that has not yet won this title, but the pool of "traditional" contenders is too strong. |

I don't know what percentage, do you know? In my opinion, this percentage is rather higher when compared with the middle class. As you know, the children of rich parents very often become "golden youth" who suffer from idleness by using drugs, gambling, etc. In any case, whatever this percentage, such people, by the very fact of their existence, refute the stereotype that they come to gambling only because of disappointment with their financial situation and the desire to make money. Everyone has their own reasons.
As I have previously explained to you, each person has his reasons for falling prey to addiction, regardless of the general principle that confirms that there are certain personalities who can fall into the trap of addiction of all kinds, and not all personalities can become addicted to something as a result of circumstances, whether private or objective. . But when we are in the process of setting a general rule for defining a gambling addict, all evaluations will go to the search for easy and quick profit, which is the characteristic of the poor in the majority. I understand your point, but your theory is contrary to the facts because there are facts (rich people who gamble and become addicted) that are contrary to your "general rule". If you really want to talk about some serious theory, then you probably need to give more numbers and statistics and not just "I think so" or use such vague formulations as "majority", because even this formulation can change its meaning if we take not natural numbers, but percentages. |

If an old champion has no motivation to defend his title, then he is weak. Like it or not, but the motivation and will to be the best for many years is one of the parameters that determine the strongest players. Carlsen gave up the title and the fight for the vacant seat is interesting by definition.
In addition, we can assume that the level of contenders for the title is approximately the same, so we will see a sharp fight and not the dominance of one side, as in previous matches.
lol, the internet judges we have no idea what are the challenges in the guys life, 1 million things could be happening on his personal life and he already proved he's the best... what's the big deal on taking a break now and then? These are not arguments from the internet, but simple facts: regardless of the reasons (physical, mental or otherwise), the one who cannot defend his title is obviously weaker than the contenders. Strength is a combination of factors, not just one factor. Carlsen came close to repeating Kasparov's period of dominance, but gave up almost at the very end, probably such a distance is extremely difficult in every sense. |

If feng shui had any practical utility, then it would be applied everywhere. But mostly it is used as a means of psychological complacency. If a person believes that some actions will bring him good luck/are simply right, then he receives a charge of positive emotions, regardless of whether he is right in his belief or not. Thus, feng shui only works if the person himself is sure that it works. In a way, this is the paradox of self-fulfilling expectations.
I think the real understanding is not as simple as you think. Fengshui is a belief system from ancient Chinese heritage, and it is not a means of psychological gratification. however, the cultural practices applied are passed down from generation to generation. Fengshui itself does not mean that one will get success after practicing it especially in this case gambling, of course as you said, if fengshui has practical uses, then it will be applied everywhere. it will never work. I think the meaning of fengshui has strayed far from the original source. As far as I'm concerned, fengshui is the practice of harmonizing energy to achieve harmony and I'm not sure if fengsui can be linked to one's luck when gambling. If we try to formalize the words that I have underlined, I am afraid that everyone will come to an individual result and it will be philosophical and not practical. This is what I wrote about - those people who use feng shui see it as a specific meaning for themselves and it works for them. If you try to transfer it to another person who has different views, then most likely he will say that Feng Shui does not work. |

This is too stereotyped representation of addicted people in my opinion. What can you say about rich people who already have a luxurious life but are starting to get involved in gambling? It is hard to imagine that they play for money, they are just looking for adrenaline and new sensations, which is why many of them take risks by trying drugs and other stimulants.
How much of the wealthy represent the general percentage of addicts to gambling in the world and throughout the entire history of gambling? I don't think they are large enough to form a definition of gambling addiction. But in general, they have in common with the poor in many points, including their inability or loss of the desire to do something useful on the belief that they are smarter than others, or more fortunate than others. And considering the state of addiction inevitably linked to successive losses, they will lead themselves to bankruptcy and return to the same definition box that I referred to. I don't know what percentage, do you know? In my opinion, this percentage is rather higher when compared with the middle class. As you know, the children of rich parents very often become "golden youth" who suffer from idleness by using drugs, gambling, etc. In any case, whatever this percentage, such people, by the very fact of their existence, refute the stereotype that they come to gambling only because of disappointment with their financial situation and the desire to make money.

When we look at this from a logical point of view it affects gamblers of course. Because if they want to make some money and convert it to fiat money again then a dump in the market would be frustrating. However there are some people also who just like to gamble with cryptocurrencies without looking at the movements in the market much. These people might be aiming to reach a certain amount of that cryptocurrency by gambling and even to HODL that amount until some point. I don't know how many people do this in the world now but this is another interesting way of getting away from being sad about a dump. Because you are already not aiming to withdraw your funds until it increases its value to a specific level.
It seems to me that if a person wants to increase the amount of his fiat money through gambling, then he initially uses fiat substitutes - stablecoins. If he is trying to increase the amount of his fiat money by investing in cryptocurrencies, then most likely he understands the risk and if a collapse occurs, he continues to hold the cryptocurrency in anticipation of a bull market. And in this case, he may be gambling or not, but subconsciously he values his cryptocurrency not at the current rate, but at the one he expects in the future. |

Argentina comes to Qatar with positive capital, namely the 2021 Copa America champion, the 2022 Finalisima champion. And an unbeaten record since 2019. I think this will be the capital for Argentina to win the world cup. I agree with you, Argentina is not only Messi but there are many other potential players.
Past accomplishments don't guarantee anything, especially if we're talking about tournaments like the Copa América (where Argentina has one big rival, Brazil) or the Finalisima, FIFA's next "important" one-game tournament.

Many successful people have never resorted to Feng Shui but still managed to make a huge fortune so it can not be a fact that Feng Shui helps to find good luck in business and in gambling. In my opinion, the main factor in achieving a goal is persistence, self-belief and hard work. If in business you can negotiate with competitors and partners and change something, then in gambling you can only hope for luck.
If feng shui had any practical utility, then it would be applied everywhere. But mostly it is used as a means of psychological complacency. If a person believes that some actions will bring him good luck/are simply right, then he receives a charge of positive emotions, regardless of whether he is right in his belief or not.

The most prominent characteristic of most addicted to gambling is that they are not satisfied with their standard of living, even if it is acceptable and sufficient to lead a good life. They are not good at doing something useful and aspire to a life of luxury without thinking of doing something useful to reach that standard of living. They resort to gambling in the hope of achieving quick and easy profits, and with the successive disappointments, they become more and more stubborn by being lucky more than others and deserving of the best. Their aspiration towards a life of luxury is not so much ambition as it is hatred and envy for what they see in others. Their situation becomes sophisticated the more their losses increase, and if it happen to make profits, they think that they deserve more than that, so they do not stop.

Addictions are difficult to leave behind precisely because most of the time the reason behind their addiction can be easily obtained to the point changing the environment may not do much, and gambling addiction is like that, after all almost any person today that lives at a city has a smartphone with Internet access, this means that they only need to do a quick search, make a deposit and they can be gambling in a matter of minutes, so only those which are completely determined to leave gambling behind can ever recover from their addiction.
But it's probably easier to give up addiction when there are no constant reminders of it around you that constantly initiate your memories and habit. It's like with smoking or drinking - I know a few people who quit these habits, but gradually returned to them because if your friends (let's say at work) regularly go out to smoke, then you go with them and sooner or later you will start smoking again. Similarly with drinking - if your group of friends is used to playing billiards (or sitting in a computer club) and drinking, then it is very difficult to go beyond this pattern of behavior without stopping communication with them completely. |
