Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?
I will be ashamed of myself and look for a means to pay back the funds to my parents. For me to be able to make up for my mistakes and win their trust back, I must quit gambling for a while, in order for me to be able to overcome my addiction. This is because it is only an addicted gambler that cannot be entrusted with money, because he will end up using it for gamble since he cannot control his gambling activities and would always want to chase his losses all the time. If I quit gamble and overcome my addiction, I can look for so many ways so show them that I am now responsible and can be trusted upon with funds, but it would be hard for them to believe you, only if it was very easy for you to make the repayment in a short period of time, when his father noticed the money is no longer in his son's account. If it was very hard to pay back or was not paid back, you have lost their trust in you for life. Yeah, sure truth, it's hard to ever trust a person again when they one way or the other breaks and loses the trust we had in them, and i agree that for this dude, it will be difficult for him to win back his father's trust again. ut what about that which is said about blood being thicker than water? Do you think such statement does not apply in this type of situation?
I am not saying that he can not gain his parents trust, he can in other aspect but not in terms of entrusting him with their funds anymore. If you look at my statement above, I also said that it still depends on how fast he was able to give the funds that he used to gamble back to his dad. If it did not take him much time, and he refunded it, it can tell his dad that he used the funds for something else and not to gamble. In this case, his dad can still trust him easily. However, he needs to stop gambling and have disciplined himself enough, if he must continue gambling in order for him to gamble responsible, otherwise it will be useless for him to pretend in other to gain back his father's trust. This is because if he is still given money to keep in his custody, he will gamble with it, amd if he is not able to refund it back this time, the trust will be lost. Blood is thicker than water is assuming, he was given the money to invest, and the business failed or he lavished it, his dad can give him a second chance, but not on gambling. |

I dont want to curse them or something like that, but the luck on Bayern Leverkusen side this year is mighty. DO yous ee how many games they win or draw in extra time? or even in the last ten minutes of the game?. Is incredible last week this happen again against Stugart, where they were losing 2-1 and reach the draw in the 90+6.
In this competition we see them doing this against Qarabag and the last time also against West Ham.
I also do get surprised on the way they don't accept defeat, and must work out something to make sure that the goal is equalized. It shows how passionate they are not to be defeated, I will say that they are extra ordinary. If they have being like this since the beginning of this season, it means that they have the fighting back spirit, and that will be difficult for any club to win them. Their match with Roma might end in a Penalty, if Roma can be able to score them first, because they will be struggling to equalize the game and it to be defeated which will be an advantage for Roma. But if Leverkusen scores first, that is where the problem lies. |

I believe Man City will be able to defend the championship trophy. Arsenal should only blame themselves because they continue to make the same mistakes as last season.
Arsenal skipped pass Tottenham who were predicted to be a problem for the team in top three as they all fight to finish well this season. Manchester City will face the same conditions as Arsenal did, playing the game at Tottenham's stadium. Tottenham press very well, and if Manchester City are not careful, they can make things difficult for them at this crucial point in the season. It remains a fierce battle, Arsenal lost one game this year and it looked like it ruined their chances already, it shows that this season in the league is very competitive. It is only in this league that we still cannot pick a winner for this season title due to the tight competition between these two clubs Manchester City and Arsenal, as none of them is ready to give up for the other to win the league. In Seria A, the winner is clear which is Inter, while in Laliga, the winner is clear which is Real Madrid. In Bundesliga, Leverkusen is the winner, and in Ligue 1,it is clear that it is PSG. I don't think that Arsenal have scaled through some difficult challenges on their journey, no matter that they were able to win Tottenham yesterday. Manchester united is still there for them to play, and that can be a big problem to Arsenal if Manchester united put in their best performance or got motivated to win or share points. I know that it will be impossible for United to win the match, but they should also be considered as a threat. |

WHAT? Really? How in the heck can Bayern Munich pay 2.47 and Real Madrid 2.75? is a super nonsense guys, for me that odds has 0 value in the bayern munich side.
In the Real MAdrid side can be a good one, 2.75 odds for backing a super team like Real Madrid seems really good, and also to put on some multibet.
There is no need to follow the odds when betting especially when the odds does not match with your own prediction. We also saw the quarter finals how things went the other way round the the matches. Personally, I give Real Madrid the winner of tomorrow's match against Bayern Munich in Allianz Arena. This is because Real Madrid does game performance does not depend on where they are playing, as they can put in their best performance whever they are either home or away. I am betting for Real Madrid to win the match, because I see them more capable of winning it than Bayern Munich who played at home against Arsenal and struggled to win the match. They are not also in their best form and that will be a big challenge for the host team. I cannot wait to start watching the match by tomorrow. |

it is very clear that the youths are more into gambling than the older people, since most of the older people can't even operate a smartphone, and right from time the youth are the most pressured ones, they have to do this and do that so that they will become successful.
It all depends on the kind of gambling that is popular in your location. Besides online gambling, other kinds of betting don't require any electronic gadgets like mobile phones or computers. Physical games like cards, chess, ludo, draft, and other local games could be used for gambling. In some locations ( mainly underdeveloped areas) some of these physical games are still popular that both the young and would elderly engage in them. But I can attest that online games are popular in urban cities where many people are educated and have access to mobile phones. Therefore I will absolutely agree that when it comes to online gambling young people are more active because most of them are conversant with the internet. Not only online gamble that youths are more active in, even in taditional gamble, youths are more active than elders. In general, as long as gamble is concerned youths gamble more than elders. If you have noticed, those elders that gamble traditionally must gather up at a place which is seen as their gambling arena. Youths that love more traditional games or that are use to traditional gambling, can gamble anywhere. In the bus, in an uncompleted building, in empty classrooms and any more unusual places. I have seen some set of young gamblers that gambled for 24hrs. An elderly gambler will not try to gamble in such manners, but with caution and in public. Many more reasons why I believe that youths gamble more on either side whether tradition or online. |

Probably Barcelona will be on the rise now, there is no longer that uncertainty with the coach, Xavi decided to stay in the team, the players also wanted this, so all attention will be focused only on the game. In addition, there are already many rumors that Barcelona will strengthen the team, and this will be an additional incentive for the players to show good play. That’s right, Atletico quickly showed that they were not going to fall below the top 4, and Bilbao could not survive the end of the season. Barcelona will not play an easy match with Valencia, because Valencia still has a chance to compete for the EL, but if not in this round, then in the next round, I think Barcelona will get ahead of Girona. Now it seems to me that when Barcelona no longer have uncertainty in the team, they will play better. After Xavi changed his decision, everyone involved in the club was certainly quite enthusiastic about completing all the remaining matches this season, but that didn't change the fact that their chances of winning a trophy were already very low. Madrid still leads the standings and has maintained its consistency to date, where they have not lost their balance even though they have other matches scheduled in the Champions League. Barcelona management will certainly try to add depth to the squad, where next season the competition will also be fiercer, it will be very difficult to compete with Madrid if Barcelona doesn't do something in the transfer window. Next, Xavi fleet will host Valencia in the closing match of Week 33. If they succeed in securing full points, the point difference with Los Blancos will be slightly reduced. Meanwhile, ATM has succeeded in asserting itself as one of the dominant clubs in La Liga, which every season manages to qualify for the Champions League, Simeone fleet manages to secure fourth place in the standings from the pressure of Bilbao. Very unfortunately, Bilbao lost a lot of points towards the end of the season, and this automatically meant they failed to finish in the top four. But Bilbao has a big chance of getting to the Europa League, provided they have to recover in the remaining 5 matches. From my own observations we only have three strong clubs that no matter how tough the season is they must ways qualify to the champions league because they don't have any rival. These clubs are Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, so I am not surprised that they will be in the Champions League next season. It was assuming that they did not make it, that I will be shocked. Xavi needs to bring in one or two players during the transfer window to add to his current squad for more efficiency in order for them to achieve a better result next season and to also win trophies. Xavi is a good coach, and he has proven himself right despite the little challenge the Barcelona was facing in the beginning of the season which made them not to be on track with Real Madrid for the title competition on time. But he was still able to overcome those hard times and improved the performance of his men. |

Trading is good but not to be taken as a job, because it is risky, and only you bear the risk alone. A trader is unemployed, and needs a job to balance up any loss made in trading, otherwise, life might become more difficult. A professional trader can make mistake and run into a big loss, and all the fund made in various trade will be gone in a twinkle of an eye. This is how trading is i.e you cannot depend on it to take care of your basic needs.
A lot of traders are just answering the name traders but they don't have the knowledge of trading and strategy of making profit, some depends on signals. I will call such people gamblers and not traders, this is the reason why majority of traders run at loss.

Stopping immediately is the best choice to make. You don't have to wait for bigger losses or wins before you stop, so the deal here is when you win an acceptable and satisfying amount then you can stop from there. And the same goes for losing, when you lose a substantial amount and you can't bear anymore to keep going then that's the time that you have to stop.
Don't be a hero to yourself and set measures for you to stop because no one is there to stop you but only you and your pocket. When your pockets are empty, that's going to be your indication to stop but are you going to let that happen? IMHO, you shouldn't.
Because if you allow that to happen then you'll get used to it and the bigger problem is what if you don't realize that too soon and often and you're causing yourself a trouble that you're not noticing it once in a while when you gamble.
The thing is you'll keep on pulling money on your other pocket and much worse if you're going to take some real cash from your savings until you can't gamble anymore because you have nothing left.
A lot of gamblers have their specific times to draw the line when they're gambling which I think is absolutely valid provided that it helps them to stay remain responsible in their gambling engagements. For me, I have my own pattern of gambling and when I do deem it necessary to stop gambling for a moment and come back to it in subsequent time. These are the two times I find it very necessary to stop gambling. The first is when if immediately after I start gambling, I notice that I'm not getting wins as I should, I draw the line at that moment to come back later and the second is if I start gambling with a lot of winnings, I stop gambling whenever i notice that I've started losing my stakes. Failure to follow this my personal gambling guidelines would always make me to lose more than I bargained before gambling at that particular moment It is good to have gambling rules in order to keep you on track to make sure that you don't over gamble or be prone to addiction. This is why a gambler must have rules in order to gamble responsible and enjoy the fun in gambling. When you just gamble anyhow without having a gamble budget and time frame for gambling, you will not be able to know the amount that you are using to gamble, and that can lead to great loss, because you will not be able to manage your bankroll. |

The younger ones gamble more than the older ones. The reason is because the population of the youths is higher than the elderly, bad health conditions and death is a challenge to elderly people. Technology have made it easy for the youths to access the casino and place their bets easily, unlike the elderly ones who are used to traditional gambling, they need to go to where they will gamble.
Majority of youths see gamble as a get rich quick scheme, which is making more youths pumping into gamble, thinking that they are hustling.Elderly ones already understand that gambling is for fun, and they gamble only for fun. I don't think that there is an elderly person who have not gambled before in his life, that will say he wants to start gambling at old age. Any elder gambling, have been gambling for long.
The checkers game that you mentioned in which our elders use in gambling, is a game that I understand and know how to play it. So sometimes, if it happens that I need to see someone but he is at the traditional casino gambling, when I get there, I watch the game for a while to see who will win the bet, before I leave.

I also had that feeling that it will get to $80k and above before the halving because as of then the market price was on a high speed without any barrier, at least it didn't stay at an exact amount for a week or two. To be sincere with you I don't think the market price is on the positive side, it hasn't been the same since the count down to the halving period, it still doesn't mean that the market price won't get to $70k anytime soon, no but I believe that this week won't showcase a negative sign and before the end of this month those who are holding without patience would keep calm and enjoy Bitcoin price heading towards $80k. Why would anyone hold without patience? If they were planning to sell some BTC but they did not, and then the BTC price drops 10-19%, then maybe they should consider buying some more.. .. or yeah, otherwise, they are waiting to sell the next time the BTC price goes up, and hopefully out of their anxiousness (lack of patience) they do not end up selling too many too soon Too much anxiety and worries of taking profit will lead to lack of patience and selling too much in a short time, forgetting about the benefits of hodling without selling too soon. I think that those that are eager to sell, are those that believe more in selling than hodli. If not I don't see the reason why anyone that have not accumulated a significant amount of bitcoin will be eager to sell at this price level. This is the best time to buy more Bitcoin, because it might be possible that we will not see this price level till the next bear market. I only care about the price of bitcoin to see when I can take advantage of the price to buy more, and not because I want to sell. |

I am of the opinion that we are all in to predict. I believe we will see two great matches in this semifinal, and it will be in the balance until the end of the 180 minutes of these two matches! As an Italian I hope Roma will reach the final, but I am also aware that if Leverkusen wins, we can only congratulate them.
We should be careful because the level of the football have changed. AS Roma might look underrated but they have simply best performance. a can only portray few threats but when it comes to winning, just be mute and leave for Bayer Leverkussen to deliver a good job, it's usually a normal activity for them this current season. This is no debate because Bayer Leverkusen are in their prime, winning, they already have an idea of handling their opposition in simple space. Xabi Alonso will not lose matches because he has a target he's persuading and will not stop until he achieved. I don't think that there will be any surprises on this week's European matches, unlike last two weeks. I believe the Leverkusen will win Roma, as they are the favorite to win this competition this season. Only one club disappointed us which was Liverpool, because they felt they are too strong to be defeated by Atalanta. Leverkusen would reach the finals, and possibly win the trophy, because they are strong and consistent this season. They have never lost any match in all competitions. This is why I see them as winners already because they would love to end the season with an unbeaten record. |

The cash out amount is encouraging and the gambler must have made profit, that is why there is no need to be greedy, and allow the game to end, because just one game can cut this slip.
I have seen a lot of people that got greedy and lost the bet and also I have also seen someone that didn't cash out and won the bet. Currently, he is using the wins from that game to build his house. Personally, cash out is my best option on this. This is because I will get mad at myself if I don't cash out and end up losing. I

I believe sae, most of us here never hear or done about the hike wey Multichoice wan do concerning the increase rate package of DSTV and GOtv wey go start on May 1st 2024.

Seriously the government should do something about it the subscriptions are too high, e no really make sense now. As price of things dey skyrocket, he better say make we too trim down our expenses to meet up with the current situation. I no think say I go dey happy to pay these multi choice new rate because enough expenses full ground remain. Na only ball I dey watch sef and e be like say I go start to dey go watch Ball for somewhere else. If this new package make sense, na e be say them go shame multichoice people wey think say we no go fit do without them.

How long them go fit dey waste our money to bring down dollar price wey no dey show any significant change for price of other commodities. |

There’s no benefit of smoking. There’s nothing it does other than slowly kill you. If you want to lower stress and anxiety, there are so many ways to get that done. Some people even smoke electronic cigarettes thinking they are being smart but they don’t know that it’s just as dumb as smoking an actual cigarette. The carbon monoxide you say binds to hemoglobin in the blood, and reduces its ability to carry oxygen to his vital organs and tissues in his body. This can lead to a handful of problems that he probably doesn’t know. Encourage him to quit smoking. If he needs help, help him seek help. Or someday you may not have him any more.
I think that most people who smoke are aware about these things. I doubt that anyone thinks that's healthy to smoke, but they still do it. It's their choice, same like people choose to drink alcochol, junk food or too much energy drinks - none of these aren't beneficial for health too. Anyway, no matter how you will live, what you will drink or eat, in the end most likely that you won't be healthy when you will die. They definitely know that it is causing harm to their body, but I am in doubt that they know to what level the damage is caused and what exactly is the damage. Additionally, I feel that maybe the dangers of smoking hasn’t been elaborated enough to them other than the “smokers die young”. They really need to know how it happens and the fact it could happen anytime unexpectedly. Most smokers already know the damage that tobacco smoking does to their body, but they cannot stop because they are addicted and see no reason to stop smoking. This is why they feel reluctant of stopping because they feel that if they stop, they will not be able to overcome stress and tension. Some smokers have quitted smoking because they don't want any side effect from smoking or maybe their loved ones don't want them to smoke, so they just have to sacrifice for love by giving up to smoking. |

Napoli and AS Roma achieved a draw in this match, they showed a tight game and both teams showed quite good buying and selling attacks in this match. In the first half they couldn't score a goal, but in the second half, they were able to score 2 goals each. I think this result is a fair result for both teams, because they also played evenly.
Even though Napli had more opportunities, AS Roma under the guidance of De Rossi was a different AS Roma than before. Napoli tried hard to win this match, but they didn't succeed because AS Roma managed to score an equalizer in the 88th minute.
Napoli this season is not the Napoli of last season, where last season they were very effective when attacking. However, this season they are having a bit of trouble when they want to attack because they fail more often.
Even though it was a draw, this was a pretty good result for AS Roma before they played in the Europa League against Leverkusen.
It is a good hit back from Roma to equalize the last goal. I was thinking that Napoli with the penalty advantage will win the match, but I saw how Roma never wanted to accept defeat and that gave them the morale to make sure that the goal was equalized. Napoli performance will good today, as they were able to play the ball in their favor, and created good opportunities but they were unable to make proper use of those chances. Napoli needs to improve next season in order for them to keep up their stand in Seria A. |

Napoli are disappointing everyone this season. Last week they lost to Empoli. It's as if they weren't champions last season. This season they have 13 wins, 10 draws and 10 defeats in 33 matches. They can get very surprising results this season. On the other hand, there are Roma, who started to get very good results after De Rossi came in charge. There are 5 weeks left in the league. We are very close to the end. Roma have the possibility to get a Champions League ticket for next season. Napoli are the hosts of this match. But my favorite will be Roma tonight.
The game has now begun, let's see what Napoli can do today to be able to pick up points at home, Napoli performed quite great last season by being able to win the Scudetto after 33 years they can only compete without getting results, but like other team that can surprise one season and the next season they will sink and fall, The change of coach, I think is the main problem of Napoli this season and of course it has an impact on Napoli's performance so that it makes them very down this season, this season of course Napoli has no hope of being able to play in Europe next season. Currently the two teams are still tied 0-0 and of course Roma have greater motivation to win today's game than Napoli, Roma who are ranked 5th at this time certainly have great motivation to be able to continue chasing Bologna in the 6th place in the Serie A standings especially in other matches Bologna and Udinese draw, Roma currently only have a difference of 4 points with bologna and if Roma win against Napoli of course will cut their gap to 1 point so Roma's chances of playing in the Champions League next season are wide open. The first half of the match have ended and it was a goalless first half. Both teams tried to find the back of the net but it was impossible for them throughout 45mins. Roma are trying their best but Napoli dominated the match and had more chances of scoring than Roma, but Roma goalkeeper was able to deny them from scoring. The second have will soon start, and I expect to see a winner by the end of the second half. Napoli or Rima might able to break the deadlock if some substitutes are made. If Roma continues with the way that they played in the first half they might lose the game to Napoli |

What do you mean by that? What's annoying about the tactical approach of the game? Isn't defending part of the game now? I don't like the way too many people viewed that game.
I was amongst those that said, Real Madrid has been too defensive. But, after that game, I had a quick glance at what Sir Alex Ferguson said that, defending is also part of the game and that's what win you trophies.
I'm just quoting what many people thought about Ancelotti's style in that game. That was why I used quotation marks while writing "annoying".  It was a really defensive play but that was a smart choice. There wasn't any other way to beat this powerful Manchester City in the end. We all know that. Before this match takes place, both teams will study the strengths of their opponents. Ancelotii is not stupid to implement a defensive strategy for no reason, as long as we know that Manchester City's attack line is good, and they also have good ball control. So Ancelotti will implement a strategy which will benefit them, and after considering everything, Ancelotti makes a decision to implement what kind of strategy, and that is his choice. We all know that Real Madrid does not emphasize possession of the ball, they put more emphasis on fast counter-attacking play. If they had played with an open strategy, would they be in the semifinals now? Not just Real Madrid, even all teams will definitely adjust their strategy based on the opponent they will face. Defense is part of strategy, and here actually whoever can implement a better strategy will be able to win, and Real Madrid proves that. Defensive game and sharp counter attack is the only way any club can use to win Manchester city. This is because they are good at passing and holding the ball for a long time than any club playing with them. They can easily break through your defense, and that was what happened last season when City won them 3-1 in the second leg at Etihad. Real Madrid hardly plays defensive game, but if that is what they can use to win or get rid of their rival or any club to quify to the next round, then they should use that strategy. Real Madrid will not play a defensive game against their opponent in their next UCL match. Bayern Munich should be ready to face Real Madrid striking force and quality football. |

It is also funny when people ask for an advice for what should they do after losing. If they can allow to continue and want to do it, then they should continue gambling. If they run our of money, have no wish to continue, then they should stop. I mean what advice do they want to get? When they lose, for someone suggest them a winning strategy, or a bet that will be a 100% win next time? Or where to get more money?
It is simple...just quit the game for that day, and allow yourself not to be controlled by your emotions. If you quit, and play again tomorrow, you might be lucky. If you are not lucky, always quit when you have used up to the money that you intend using to gamble, and play again next time. It will help you manage your loss and also prevent you from any trauma and addiction. He who cannot quit gambling when losing, will always loss more, and will be affected by his losses which can lead him into frustration. This is why when gambling, you think about how to gamble in a way that you have nothing to lose, apart from that small amount of money that you ha e used to stake your bet. I would not call that a loss, because you enjoyed the game and had fun. |
