what you do is "stop gambling immediately" you can come back when your finances have recovered, it has nothing to do with spirituality, it's better to forget about gambling and look for work, slowly your life will improve
It would be much better if someone could stop and return when he had more money to gamble. The biggest problem for those who are addicted to almost no way to stop because spirituality about gambling will affect psychological to continue to be in gambling. For those who are not addicted to gambling will be much easier to forget and the rest will be far more difficult to leave gambling for those who are already in the stages of severe addiction.

If someone can forget gambling and find other jobs that are much better will be more useful. Therefore, before being too far involved in gambling, you should use the budget responsibly and if we get defeat in the previous place then stop so as not to affect our finances to be worse.

Players must understand one important thing: you can't play forever. This, of course, can be done if you play with small bets, but this cannot continue indefinitely. This can be done if the player has a regular income and allows a small part of it in the form of entertainment in gambling, but most players will always want more and more. I think that small bets will not bring the same excitement. It’s kind of a psychological trap if you try a big bet, as if you’ve opened a new level.
Starting from a small bet and so on will be comfortable playing at a much larger level especially if someone has money to be in a bet. That was originally gamblers more addicted and indeed to handle psychological would be far more difficult when someone was comfortable in certain situations. Not talking about the good or bad impact of gambling but how a person can handle gambling responsibly as the method you convey in allowing a small portion of his income in the form of gambling entertainment.

Of course there are successful players, but I can't imagine them in games where everything is based only on luck and pressing the "spin" button. Absolutely anyone can press the button, and even bet on red or black in roulette. I consider only players where a skill is needed, such as poker, to be professionals.
Much more agree when we talk about poker games because it is more to its skills and nature to train to be more professional rather than being successful in the game. Games that are based on luck will be far more difficult to say success and even the nature of poker games is only based on the form of professionalism not about success.

Feyenoord cannot be underestimated, even though in the previous meeting AS Roma managed to beat them, this will be an event of revenge for Feyenoord for their defeat at that time. Now AS Roma has a new coach after officially firing Jose Mourinho. De Rossi has a very difficult task, he carries great expectations from many people, especially from AS Roma supporters. He must be able to meet the expectations given and be able to present something for AS Roma.
I won't talk further like presenting a trophy for example, but I will see how he can bring about changes that will bring fresh air to AS Roma. The process is real and in the process he must show something that can answer the trust placed in him.
As the quality of AS Roma will be very favored to win the match because Feyenoord is not a heavy opponent for them to defeat. But even so AS Roma could not assume the match was easy because Feyenoord performed quite well in their last five matches in the Dutch League. De Rossi has a big responsibility to bring AS Roma to qualify for the next act in the European League and that responsibility is not easy because competition in this league will be far more competitive.

To speak the trophy may still be too far away because the quality of coaching de Rossi has no experience at all handling a large team. But at least the expectations that must be shown they qualify for the semifinals and after that we can see the extent of De Rossi's ability to present the title for AS Roma.

This match will probably be quite a difficult match even for Liverpool. Because in this match Arsenal was the host. And looking at Arsenal's performance in the last match, it also shows a quite drastic increase in performance. And this could make Liverpool difficult and maybe this match will be a difficult match. or it could be that lots of goals will be scored because of course both teams will both display attacking strategies. The match will definitely be quite exciting and the aggressiveness of both teams will probably be quite high.
Liverpool will face two tough matches for the next match because before facing Arsenal, Liverpool will first face Chelsea at Anfield so that there will be many preparations that must be done by Jurgen Klopp. Although Chelsea are not in good condition, Liverpool must be aware of all possibilities that will occur and if the match ends in a draw, Man City will be very beneficial because the difference in points will be closer especially if Liverpool have to experience defeat.

For Arsenal the match will be quite important besides playing in their own homes, Arsenal are also required to win the match in order to keep the opportunity to continue to be in the title competition. Arteta will definitely try to use home games to get full points because it is the best opportunity they have.

That's why crypto users don't recommend you store large amounts of fiat. Fiat will lose its value due to inflation, we all know that although there are still many people in this world who do it consciously.

If someone is not interested in crypto, including bitcoin as one of them, then they can choose gold or land as a place to store value. These two assets will not lose value in the long term and it is very rare for land to become cheaper after purchase unless it is not strategically located. You have to choose a store of value asset because inflation has clearly made the value of an item more expensive over time.
It is far more useful than storing Fiat in large quantities because Fiat is not productive in the future and loss of value. Storing fiat on a certain scale is not a problem and it's quite important because we need it for daily processes in meeting needs. People's awareness of loss of value in Fiat has happened so long but they do not do something far more useful because of the absence of encouragement to them.

In the past we often see parents store gold and they are the most anti -storing fiat in the bank, today we realize that gold is not devalued and even the selling value continues to grow at any time. Especially for those who are not interested in Bitcoin, gold is an alternative choice that can be utilized.

This is bartering, but I think this method is ancient. People don't like it anymore and they tend to look for more realistic and practical solutions without the need to prepare warehouses to stock dozens of boxes of such low-value items. So far I prefer holding crypto (bitcoin or some altcoin) as a store of value asset other than gold. I think both options can provide resistance to inflation.
True because it is barter but this method can make people maintain the value of the currency they have and that is just a small example that I say. Those of us who know Bitcoin will definitely use Fiat to buy it and for those who don't like bitcoin can buy gold. Both of these methods can be an alternative to dispel inflation and when we can use correctly at least we can save ourselves in the midst of these conditions.
506  Economy / Economics / Re: In times of Crisis and uncertanities toilet paper can be new currency on: January 21, 2024, 06:57:46 AM
Yes it's very valuble it's limited source but it can be working as currency and while world is full of crisis and more need to be printed some currencies Will value like wc paper.
Because of the devalued nature of fiat its value will continue to fall over time and not to mention when inflation or recession occurs which will make it even worse. Fiat currencies are increasingly losing balance and it is becoming increasingly difficult for us to store them because their value continues to decrease.

Imagine in your village something happens then Im sure you can use to exchange toilet paper to food becouse toilet paper have Same value as oil food or some other commodities and in times of Crisis toilet paper value it's even higher.

So i bought a lot that in my basement lol ...i can borrow this with % and set up the local exchange rate in case for Crisis Im not expecting to see Crisis but Im just telling that's good valueble Asset.
Goods may retain their resale value much better although price reductions can also be caused by competition, but commodity goods will be much more reliable in retaining their value and perhaps in the next ten years they can be exchanged for food and still have value. For example, currently we save the same amount of fiat currency to buy tissue, so in the future fiat money will no longer be valuable in that amount while the price of tissue could soar due to the price increase process.

That is the real difference that we encounter in everyday life because storing fiat currency is completely unproductive and we can see the impact in the long term of not being able to maintain value. That's the nature of currency and it will continue to run like this forever, so we have to be able to think rationally to keep the currency we have more productive.

508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in your country. on: January 21, 2024, 04:24:35 AM
On 28th May, 2023 Nigeria government signed into law the finance act 2023 which grants 10% tax on gains in digital assets including cryptocurrency while still keeping cryptocurrency transaction banned in the country. This is the state of the confusion about bitcoin and cryptocurrency in my country. 
More or less, the treatment of bitcoin in the country where I live is almost the same as in your country because currently we can only use bitcoin as an investment asset and its use as a legal means of payment is prohibited. Likewise regarding taxes because the numbers are not much different from your country, but for me this is not confusing because being given the right as an investment asset is enough. Because we know that bitcoin can be an alternative to protect the money we have compared to placing it in a bank or elsewhere.

But still we use banks when converting bitcoins into fiat and that's where taxes start to apply and are deducted automatically. To expect bitcoin as legal tender especially in my country is impossible and perhaps the current treatment of bitcoin is enough for those of us involved in it.
509  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paying house rent with bitcoin is it appropriate? on: January 20, 2024, 10:42:06 AM
Paying for a house with bitcoin sounds to me a mistake or lack of financial knowledge. Bitcoin is better than Fiat. Bitcoin increases in value and fiat faces inflation. Why then would one spend Bitcoin instead of fiat on a house rent which may expire in few years? Accommodating the Bitcoin can birth the person more money to pay his next house rent. But fiat wouldn't add any interest in the bank. Moreover the house owner will not hold the Bitcoin.
I prefer bitcoin to be used as an investment asset compared to a means of payment and perhaps the reason is quite simple because there are many places that do not yet accept bitcoin as a legal means of payment. Even if there is a place that accepts purchasing goods or services using bitcoin, I personally prefer to use fiat currency. Bitcoin has a value that can exceed the limit when ATH comes and spending something using bitcoin we lose the opportunity to reach its highest value even though any purchase is not in the large capacity of bitcoin.

But in the end it comes down to each individual and how they fully consider purchasing using bitcoin to provide convenience. But if I could choose, I prefer to use fiat in any shopping because we have the opportunity to hold bitcoin until it reaches the next ATH because that's actually our goal to accept bitcoin as one of the best assets ever in the crypto space.
510  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this the end of excitement on: January 20, 2024, 09:09:57 AM
I have been buying small amounts of bitcoin for over 10 years. While I was always knew bitcoin would grow I did hope that some events might make it jump up in price say 3 to 5 times. Events like etf approval, a harvening etc. I still remember those charts that had predicted supersonic prices by now. But now read that both the etf and harvening aew now priced in and yet the price is not even an earlier all time high.
There is no need to worry because there is always a way for bitcoin to reach the next ATH and this has happened before, you just need to be patient until four years becomes the basis for bitcoin to move towards its highest price. Now what you need to think about is how you can continue to increase your ownership of the number of bitcoins because if the approach you take and the bitcoins stored are still small enough then profits will follow the price process with the amount. So you will be quite disadvantaged when bitcoin reaches the next Ath but you still hold a small amount.

Does that mean the excitement days are over. Has bitcoin become boring in terms of big price fluctuations
I don't see it ending yet and so far there is no doubt that bitcoin is getting closer to its highs. I also believe that you have not fully studied the four-year process where doubts that arise must be adjusted to the facts that have occurred.

To further trick people to buying these coins after the launch, the devs and creators make up articles and stock charts insinuating that Bitcoin was just a few cents during its launch but it now has a value of over $43k so people should endeavor to buy much of these coins and hold them for a long while hoping that it would eventually rise like Bitcoin over time which is a lie.
These are some of the tricks used to attract buyers to invest in the coins they launch, but this structure must be learned so as not to get trapped by launching a new coin that has no future. Generally it will be quite difficult to see the development of a newly launched coin because it requires analysis of the coin. Many people also have difficulty seeing the development of new coins because there are no things that can impact the coin in the progress process.

Why waste  your time and risk your KYC data on the shitcoins?  when you can actually easily understand and hodl Bitcoin which is safer and decentralized. Don't be deceived that such coins in the future will turn out to be like Bitcoin.
There are many scam projects out there so make sure to research and most importantly avoid KYC.
Remember don't forget to keep your keys safe!!
The importance of knowledge to see the development of coins and there are many people who are influenced by hype when they want to make a purchase, so that in the end they have to lose money trying to believe in such coins. In the past, I also tried to buy several coins that had just been launched even though the capital was not large, but I always failed to return the capital because the coins died. Avoid KYC if it is not needed, but there are many exchanges that require KYC, so the choice of KYC or not depends on each of us not because we are forced to do it.

The use of money for married women and men is of course very different based on their living needs and the needs of their own families, even though the goal is to make themselves and their families happy. However, this will look even more different for an unmarried woman and man who sets goals only for themselves because they don't have family needs that they need to think about. Apart from that, the way women and men care for their face and health is often not the same, so any differences are always born at first.
In essence married women will be much more able to control their finances because at this point they are no longer concerned with themselves but rather with how their family's needs can be met well even though their husband's income level is small. The needs of unmarried people are quite different from those of married people because they talk about responsibilities. But for those who are not married, money is definitely sought only for their own needs without sacrificing the needs of other people.

I see women who are much more wasteful before they get married and even though there are also women who are married they are still quite wasteful. There is a fairly basic difference in how someone who is married is much more able to control their money to meet the needs of living together with their family because maybe they were taught by circumstances to live more frugally..
513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 19, 2024, 08:08:06 PM
For the sake of your prediction this week, take noted of the two ongoing international competitions and how they may affect the clubs whose players have gone for international duties. I saw this article that gave me detail run down of the players and their respective clubs and I felt I should shared it for those who might find it important.

Personally, I will be careful with clubs like Liverpool that have their hitman, Mo Salah engaged in international duties. Seems Machester City is the only top team that has no player in those competitions.  
I think this will affect clubs a little because the international break will cause several club to lose core players, so it will have an impact on the matches that certain clubs will play. Man City will be quite fortunate because no players will leave to defend their country so their strength will be complete without losing a single important player. Especially if you look at Liverpool, which currently needs full strength to be able to maintain the top of the standings.

Losing Mo Salah will definitely have an effect on Liverpool but I am sure Jurgen Klopp has options for this. Mo Salah's presence can affect Liverpool's game and maybe losing him could have a bad effect. Liverpool must win in the next match if they don't want Man City to shift their position at the top of the standings.

Napoli firing their coach because of management’s policy was quite crazy. Why would you let him go after bringing that trophy home after how many years? Well the club board knows what’s best for them, and i think maybe there was a big disagreement between the manager and board which triggered the departure of their former coach Spalletti.
If management knew what was best for the club then they would not have taken the initiative to fire a coach who was able to give them the title they had been waiting for for so long. But one wrong policy could affect the club to be worse than before and that has proven to be the case with Napoli now.

However, our focus is to Jose and what happens to him next, well I think he’ll be off to Saudi to go get the bag and have peace of mind as that’s what is key to him now because he’s basically written his name in Gold in Europe. As for Roma, I think it’ll be quite a huge struggle going forward.The new coach will have to continue with the philosophy of Jose and see how things goes for him then maybe get his own players to his advantage next season.
It is not yet certain where Jose Mourinho will go although there are rumors that the Saudi Arabian League is a place he might visit. Jose Mourinho had a good career in Europe but his career faded after failing to manage several previous clubs and maybe if he wanted to live a quiet life in the Saudi Arabian League it would be a good place for him to have a career. Roma will experience much worse conditions when a new coach comes with coaching abilities that are not much better than the previous coach and I doubt that Roma will be better under the current new coach.
515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: January 19, 2024, 06:48:32 PM
Its just common sense on which there would really be those main difference, in speaking about being addicted then we do know that there's no way that it could be called to be a success.
It is really just that on the time that you do able to cope up with that kind of addiction and been able to realize things along the way then this is where you would really be considering
yourself on having such recovery and not all would really be able to successfully be able to hit up such thing on which you would really be having that kind struggle on handling your
gambling addiction.
Basically there is no such thing as success in gambling, only luck with a much uncertain level. If someone is involved in gambling, it means they are considering the level of risk that results whether gambling is responsible or not. But the problem is when gambling is at the addiction stage because they can no longer control it, causing problems for the person concerned in considering stopping. So gamble when you have money and don't need to think about luck or success in it, at least if something happens we can accept the consequences.

Gambling has been going on for a long time since before we were born and there may be no way to limit gambling if every individual does not want to stop gambling. It is difficult to stop gambling if it is not filled with other productive activities because psychology will be much more difficult to handle and someone will really stop when the gambling activity they no longer like.

How can one control the uncontrollable urge to keep gambling despite the toll it takes on once life.
The way is to stay away from gambling and never get involved in it when someone is not capable of being responsible because there are big effects that we will bear if gambling is carried out irresponsibly.

It's getting worse every day. I'm extremely depressed I have thoughts of unaliving myself more often, some times I feel the betting companies manipulate people spiritually to get them addicted where be playing without plans and strategy. Once a bet place get cut, there is this uncomfortable urge to quickly book another one with the plans of recovering the first money lost but it will end up cutting again.  
They are not deceiving anyone but we are the ones who are trying to deceive ourselves, the company is looking to make a profit from the gambling services they provide and that cannot be blamed because it is actually ourselves who need to be limited. Another mistake is that we think will be able to cut our losses by ordering another betting place, even though in that condition we will lose everything if we don't stop. Gambling must be handled responsibly if you don't want big losses to occur and if someone is unable to control it then that's where we will be even more stressed.
517  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 19, 2024, 05:34:27 PM
I don't understand why he was fired in the middle of the road when let him finish the task until the end at least with the 6th position again for Roma it was good enough for them, but maybe they judged that the current position of 9th could not be saved anymore by Jose Mourinho so he preferred to be fired rather than continued failure, which surprised De Rossi who was appointed as an inexperienced coach.

I only see news through social media Jose Mourinho is always associated with the Arab team, it's not certain Mourinho always rejects it, then there is a chance at Newcastle? I don't know about this because despite Newcastle's losing streak with a mid-table return they are not planning to sack Howe on deck.
Rumors circulated that he had a disagreement with AS Roma management, resulting in a sudden dismissal and the management appointed De Rossi as a temporary replacement. If AS Roma looks for a coach who is more experienced than Jose Mourinho, he might have a chance to make AS Roma better. But De Rossi may not necessarily be able to provide something much better than Jose Mourinho because in terms of experience he has not yet been proven as a coach.

Apart from the Saudi Arabian League in the Premier League, there are also rumors that several clubs want Jose Mourinho's services, such as Chelsea and Newcastle United, but I am not sure that Jose Mourinho will return there. Maybe if the opportunity exists, Jose Mourinho will go to the Saudi Arabian League because there he can provide something new compared to returning to the Premier League.
518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 18, 2024, 07:12:15 PM
The same pattern is always repeating again and again. No doubt people named this club as a clown club. It was always running out of its fuel at the end of season. People are also feeling so tired of watching this club caused by they never meet what they have expected.
Im concerning about how arteta was not even building the mentality from the players. It seems he was not even caring about that. Arsenal was always performing very well at the early of season but it's always bottling its performance at the end of season.

Even thought the gap was not so big but it is quite difficult to surpass the club that was always performing very consistently. This must be noted that if arsenal was losing against manchester city small gap last season.
The same thing is going to repeat soon. Im not even doubting it to happen caused by i do believe arsenal will be performing so badly till the end of season.  
Arsenal have had quite a problem in the last five matches and if last season they failed to become champions because they were unable to maintain consistency then this season it will be much more difficult for Arsenal to reach the top of the standings. Liverpool and Man City are getting stronger and both will definitely try to play consistently to secure their standings and Arsenal's opportunity to become champions will be quite difficult to obtain because last season was actually the best moment for them.

This is not just talking about the difference in points even though the distance is quite close, but how the top of the standings is a place for a team that is much better prepared. Liverpool and Man City are much stronger and these two teams have the same chance of being favorite candidates this season. Arsenal probably won't be a title contender as I don't see them having a chance this season.
519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: January 18, 2024, 06:24:49 PM
Just as the tittle already ask, I really want to know if people who are successful in gambling also seen as addicts because I believe  for one to be successful in gambling or whatever they choose to do, there must be some good amount  of time and effort invested in it as well as money and we know that a successful  gambler must have invested  both time, effort and even money to make any reasonable  winning  and these also are features of an addict as there are always excessive time spent on a betting site.

Now let's be sincere, will you also classify a successful gambler as an addict?
Addiction and success have quite big differences in meaning and because gambling relies more on luck, it should not be called success. But when active gambling has influenced him not to do other work then addiction is a suitable name for them. Gamblers who have invested time, energy and even money to produce reasonable winnings, then they should not be addicted because they are consciously able to handle gambling quite well.

It is irrelevant to attribute success in gambling to a class of people who are addicted. Addicted people are unable to control their emotions, money and so on, but if they are successful in gambling then they should be quite aware that they are gambling responsibly.
520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: January 18, 2024, 06:07:08 PM
Yes i dont understand Roma coach remplacement at all, i dont find any clue in the move, you go from a top and super experienced coach as Mourinho to a new coach with 0 experience as a coach with the only support of being a star of the club when he was a player. Strange.

The good thing is we can see Mou talking more on TV and dropping facts.
Previously Napoli also fired the coach who had succeeded in giving the fans and club the long-awaited title. In fact, it is difficult for many people to accept why management fired the coach who succeeded in making them become champion candidates. The rumors circulating were almost the same as those experienced by Jose Mourinho because both of them criticized management policies in managing the club so they were disturbed by the criticism and fired him.

The next question is where Jose Mourinho will go and which team will be the place for him to coach. Likewise, for AS Roma, the arrival of a new coach who has no experience can produce much better results than Jose Mourinho and as far as I know that will be much more impossible because in terms of experience Jose Mourinho is much better.
