How easy it will be for anyone to quit gambling depends on if you are an active gambler or a passive gambler. Active gambler refer to someone who take gambling as a major source of income. He might be working or have businesses but the moment he sees gambling as a major source of his finances and also make plans with targeted winnings from gambling, it will be difficult for such person to quit gambling as that will seem like closing down his business venture where he has invested so much.
On the other hand, for someone that is a passive gambler, gambling is just mainly for fun and might be considered a way of earning passive income. He has his job and businesses that pays his bills and he is not desperate to win as the winning from gambling is not part of his planned income.
A passive gambler can decide to quit gambling when he sees it as a major distraction while active gambler will keep modifying his approach leveraging on self motivation, targeting to achieve success.

It's the games in the traditional casinos that are more addicting because a player has more interaction with real people. You could talk to fellow gamblers who can eventually become your friends. I think it's the interaction with people that makes gamblers come back and you get to share experiences on table games.
You have a very good observation and I'm in total agreement with you. Traditional casinos have more addicts. Growing up, it was a tradition in my neighborhood to see people in casino house all day. There are people that spend more than90% of their time in casinos which run 24hours service here. Furthermore, the proliferation of online casinos and the improvements and addition of more games even makes it worse now than before. So the chances of being addicted to casinos just got bigger with online casinos that someone can engage in from the comfort of his home. The online casino games will be the second since you are offered unlimited rewards, and you can win big up to the jackpot especially the slot. But even in offline casinos, the slot is already addictive.
The numerous rewards is one incentives that keeps people actively engaged in online casinos. Most of the outstanding wins in gambling comes from casinos like slots. That a long is enough motivation for people to stay put to them until their lucky day. |

Well, I think that would haunt you everytime you think of gambling. We all know that missing all those opportunities is a sad thing that gamblers may experience and that is quiet common to most of us. But for me the best thing to do here is to accept and move on. Luck is luck.
Yes moving on has always the best option. I have also seen more funny instance where a gambler after predicting and booking his bet then he forgot in his pocket and didn't stake it and by the time he remembered it it was already late whilst all his predictions went through  It could be funny at times the way and situation that we meet in gambling and it is worse of when after all we miss the game we are suppose to stake and their results come out positive, it is more painful that way. I have experienced this many times and it is not funny. I struggle to believe it is just ordinary without any spiritual influence. How can I be so eager to gamble when I will lose and reluctant to gamble when I will likely lose? Many times I have had my predictions worked out when I failed to play the game due to forgetting it or network issues as I use online gambling platforms. At the end of the day, everything will go smoothly when the luck is not on my side and when I was supposed to win, I end up not playing the game. For the sake of my sanity, I refused to accept that there is any spiritual influence to this even when the evidence are many, rather I just take it as mere coincidence. Since I'm not the only one in such situation, I guess it is normal. |

I think Aston Villa's victory over Brentford was lucky because Brentford took the lead towards the end of the first half thanks to a goal scored by Lewis Potter. However, in the second half, Brentford lost one of their players, namely Ben Mee, in the 71st minute, which made the direction of the match completely belong to Aston Villa. Even after only playing with 10 people, Brentford's defense became weak and as a result Aston Villa managed to score 2 goals through Moreno and Watkins.
Victory in the away match with a score of 1-2 for Aston Villa and even though in the final minutes of the match they also had to lose a player due to receiving a red card, but that would not threaten Aston Villa's defense. But indeed losing Boubacar Kamara due to the red card will be quite detrimental to Aston Villa in the next match. This result also solidifies Aston Villa's position in 3rd place in the standings with the same points as Liverpool.
We've got to admit that Aston Villa have become a major team in the English Premiership beginning from last season. For their last nine matches they have not lost any in all competitions. Check their recent home performance below and see the level of consistency of the team, winning all nine home matches in all competition.  Their match against Brentford was one of those surprises that exist in football where the favorite team might end up loosing the match. However, Aston Villa capitalized on the opportunity offered to them by the red card of Ben Mee to equalize the goal and went ahead to win the match. This actually make me think that Astov Villa is targeting to win the league as they are just 1 point behind Arsenal that is at the top for the moment. Anyone underrating Aston Villa will be so disappointed |

Exactly this is the best way to teach them and if anyone will start this method so with passage of time he/s will understand the how important it is and they will be in profit after 3 to 4 years uth they will continue this strategy for long time.
When I have not started using the DCA method, I have tried a few times to teach people about investing in Bitcoin. Unfortunately, the approach then was to put any amount they could afford with target of selling when the profits comes in. Then the hype of Bitcoin was at the peak and the internet was littered with testimonies of people who made huge amount from investing in Bitcoin and some other shitcoins. So my job of convincing them to invest in Bitcoin was not hard and some of them actually joined, saw profits within a short time and some sold while some others held for longer time. What I later realised was that seeing how easy it was to make profits in Bitcoin, a lot of them went and sourced for more money to invest more without letting me know... some even borrowed money and bought at the peak. For those of them that could not sell when they should and are not ready to hold for long, their pains were expressed in various degrees and I listened to the agony with utmost surprise. Humans can actually be greedy and unpredictable. Assuming I knew about the DCA method then, that would have made the job perfect because they would have started off with it already thereby eliminating the panic buy attitudes and quest for quick profits. |

I personally would like the drop to be 10 dollars, yes, 10 dollars! It would be like taking a trip back in time. And take advantage of the opportunities I missed in the past.
Have you really thought about the implication of what you just typed? What gave you the conviction that if Bitcoin drops from the current price to $10 that it will recover? I have the feeling that you are still regretting not buying Bitcoin when it was very cheap, so you are desperate for a second chance which if it happens according to your expectation may mark the end of Bitcoin. There is no way Bitcoin will get to such price unless everyone dumps it. I will encourage you to have a rethink and join Bitcoin now even with any amount you have. You will not be helping yourself thinking you have missed Bitcoin because "anytime a man wakes up is his morning". Where Bitcoin is going is bigger than where it is now...pay attention and it will become clearer to you. |

I believe that a lot of the forum users already know the risk associated with storing money in exchanges irrespective of how secured they say they are. The popular "not your keys, not your coin" phrase that trended in this forum for months is a clear indication that CEX is not for storage but trading alone. Those who are actively trading can also do well to save only their trading capital in CEX and withdraw their profits and any amount they aren't using for the trading activities to their private wallets.

Ten Hag only plays his favorite players. Even though there are still several good midfielders such as Amrabat, Casemiro and Eriksen that he could use as options to play.
That is a fantastic observation about Ten Hag. If not of this point of yours, I wonder why he will not bench Onana in few matches so that he will sit up. It is as if his mistakes and inconsistencies are accepted by the coach that is why he is not making any effort to improve. However, Ten Hag actually made some adjustments today by playing Amrabat probably due to the absence of Bruno Fernández owing to injury. On a serious note, I dont to understand why he used Naino that is obviously not suitable for this match. Now Liverpool is dominating the midfield while Manchester United seems to be more on the defensive side. |

Liverpool are very good now, I think that such Manchester United should not become a problem for them, and while City unexpectedly lose points, they should take advantage of this, although in relation to City. If Aston Villa and Arsenal win their games today, the top three could go ahead. But let’s not rush, this is the Premier League and surprises are possible in every match.
There is no doubt that Aston Villa are performing very well right now. Villa are now third in the table. But I don't think this team is fit to win the Premier League title. I think Aston Villa will go down in the next few weeks. Just when everyone is expecting Aston Villa to go down, they even waxing stronger, defeating Arsenal last weekend and coming from a goal down to win Brentford today taking 3 points at away. I have changed a lot of my expectations about them lately as I'm seeing them to finish among the first four teams to make it to champions league next season. Liverpool team is very strong. Liverpool team will play at home against Manchester United today. I think Liverpool will win today. Manchester United's performance has been very erratic. Liverpool can beat Manchester United only if Liverpool's performance is stable. United's defense is also quite weak.
The only fear I have for the Manchester United sides is their goal keeper, Onana. He has been consistently making mistakes that were never there before he was signed. Even in the ongoing match, he already committed a mistake that can lead to a goal. Apart from this, Manchester United is playing so well. Nevertheless, draw is not a bad result for Manchester United. |

While we are getting close to the game between Bologna and Roma, there is sad news for Mourinho and his team because they need to win the game against Bologna to decrease the pressure on Roma because of the weak performance they had before and even fans are unhappy about the situation of Roma. But it seems Houssem Aouar the player of Roma can't be for this team in the match against Bologna today. He got injured in the game they had against Sheriff and he is probably out for three months..  Roma will have to suffer the absence of two of their key players. I don't know how Jose Mourinho will cope without Lukaku and Dybala, maybe the combination of Andrea Belotti and Stephen El Shaarawy will be able to produced the expected results. In reality, it will be difficult for Roma to win Bologna who have only lost 1 match at home this season against AC Milan. A draw in this match will be a great result for the away side. |

Indeed it's a rivalry game between to of the most successful clubs in the premier league. But lately the match between Liverpool and Manchester United don't look like rivalry any more as the game has become one sided lately and Liverpool has been the dominating team and I don't see that changing in today's game. Manchester United don't have what it takes to hurt Liverpool today.
I remember Liverpool was the match that made Man United sack Mourinho. This match is going to be easy for Liverpool. The way Manchester United play they don't play like a team that can win Liverpool. I believe Manchester United will score because Liverpool always concede but Liverpool will win. Whenever big teams meet, it is always difficult to predict because the match can go either way. If Liverpool will be able to overcome the depression caused by their loss of their last Champions league match, then they stand a better chance against the Red Devils. Liverpool needs to win in other to remain at the top, that's if Arsenal wins against Brighton.
The Arsenal match is looking like it's going to be another hard day for Arsenal. I hope they win with at least 2 goals.
Arsenal is actually making good use of their home advantage. The 53rd minute goal from Gabriel Jesus has changed the pace of the game and if Arsenal remained resolute till the end, they will secure the 3 points. Brighton is a good sides when it comes to scoring, so Arsenal have the option of scoring more goals or populate the defence more to protect their lone goal lead. Arsenal winning this match will keep them at the top of the table pending what will be the outcome of the match between Liverpool and Manchester United. Arsenal did a bad job allowing Aston Villa to defeat them. Without that, they would have been comfortably leading the closest rival Liverpool with 2 points. |

I think the right place for this post is in Politics and Society. I may be wrong though and I would love someone to correct me. Meanwhile, this is an interesting topic I love to know more about. Hopefully, some experienced people will do justice to the post since we have people from all part of the world here.

Moh Salah might still be able to stay at Liverpool. But Lewandowski, I think Barcelona really needs money right now to get the players they are targeting. and if they don't sell Lewandowski to an Arab club with a high transfer value, Barcelona's option is to barter players. unless Barcelona in the transfer market will only look for players with free transfer status. They usually do it, but someone still has to leave the team to support the club's finances, whose expenses will continue to increase.
I heard that in the transfer market yesterday, the Barcelona club was actually quite open to offers from Arab clubs that came in the transfer market yesterday. And it looks like Barcelona really needs the money. Because it is known to everyone that the financial condition of the Barcelona club is that their finances are not in a stable condition. So when a good offer comes from an Arab club, of course this can help their finances. But this will happen if R.Lewandowski is willing to accept the offer. But it seems that what has been widely reported is that Lewandowski rejected it. Even R.Lewandowski's wife also clarified R.Lewandowski's decision. But R. Lewandowski's condition this season is not very good. So of course the club will be increasingly open to offers from Arab clubs. But I don't think so in the current January transfer window. Because after all Barcelona still needs him in the UCL. Because Barcelona has not yet found a suitable replacement for that position. So I think a good opportunity for Arab clubs to make a return offer is in the summer transfer market next year. One thing that play a big role in the career of any player is knowing when to move as a result of your popularity and relevance decreasing. One player that mastered this and continued to shine was C. Ronaldo. When he moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid, many people never knew how important that move was until he went there and achieved fame like never before. Another important decision he made was to move to Saudi Arabia, he didn't think it twice and this move brought him more fame as he practically brought the league to limelight. If I were in the same situation like Lowandowski, I will not think twice about joining fellow legends in Saudi because he is practically struggling to keep up with the pace at Barcelona, with his presence hardly noticed in the match. His days of dominance are over and I think it's time to move. |

I sold my computer and bought about 0.006 bitcoin.
For the rest of money, I saved them in my bank account.
I hope this decision is right.
If you need to sell your computer to buy Bitcoin, I'm afraid you will not be able to hold the Bitcoin for long. I don't know how you arrived at such a decision but I know that computer is a necessity for a young guy especially in our generation. Unless you have another computer. The best thing to do would have been to start small with any amount you can afford to hold for long, even if it is $10 per week or month, let it be what you can afford to hold for a long time without being under pressure to sell. At a situation like yours, if you encounter any emergency that requires money, that Bitcoin may be the first thing to consider for sell. To benefit the most from Bitcoin, it is always advisable to imbibe long term approach and that will only be possible when you have made provision on how to fund your needs outside your Bitcoin portfolio. |

Not only that because gambling is not a place for anyone to find success if you act as a gambler and nothing more.
Can you add more clarity to this statement? How do someone act in other to find success in gambling? I have read several post in the comment sections of many threads and none have made any distinction for the attitude that guarantees success in gambling. So I'm curious to learn what you have to say. It is impossible and almost impossible but strangely few of the gamblers realize that gambling is not a place to earn income but nothing more than a place to fill spare time when they are bored. So that's why for anyone who takes gambling too seriously then they will usually suffer defeat even with large amounts.
I have the feeling that you don't believe someone can actually be successful through gambling. If that is right, I will say you are wrong because I have seen some successful gamblers. By all standard they are rich and all their wealth came from gambling. |

Truthfully city have doubled their lead, obviously this will reduce the seemingly pressure Crystal palace have enjoyed before, Manchester city will now go ahead in demystifying Crystal palace and reduce their pressure entirely, because at this point Manchester city are even likely to score more goals because that's their trademark whenever they get to this point sometimes in a game.
Manchester City may not even see Crystal Palace as a threat today because other things being equal, City is supposed to take the 3 points without much stress. Since it is football, you have to physically work for any point hence, Manchester will deploy all their tactics to secure the win to close in on the major contender, Arsenal. At the moment, the match is still very dicey because one more goal from Crystal Palace will make the match end in a 2-2 draw that will see City still lagging behind the Guners. Manchester City also failed to get 3 points against Crystal Palace. City drew the match 2-2. This result was unexpected for me. Crystal Palace is a relatively weak team. It was not expected that Manchester City would drop points against this team. Manchester City completely dominated today's match. Even then they can't win. City's players had 75% of the ball possession, as well as attacking a lot. However, Manchester City cannot keep their defense strong in today's match. Just what I suspected and raised the alarm. The normal Mancity side would have scored more goals instead of conceding and equalizer from Crystal Palace. Should we say fate has destined Arsenal to win the league? Nobody know for a certainty but it is obvious something us fundamentally wrong with the City team this season. There is a hypothesis that their anytime their coach Pep Guardiola wants to leave a team, the team will start giving funny results just like City is doing now. Even though we don't have enough data to prove this, Barcelona is a good example. He has paid his dues at Manchester City, helping them to win the champions league after many years of failure. |

Valencia vs Barcelona
A lot of my friends are of the opinion that Barcelona will lose to Valencia. I don't agree with them even though I'm tempted to. One thing I know for sure is that Barcelona will not want to lose 2 consecutive league matches. But on a second thought, it seems like Barcelona have entered losing streak; they lost their last La Liga match as well as their champions league match against Girona and a weaker side Royal Antwerp respectively. This shows that betting Barcelona to win at away is a big risk to take.

Manchester City not winning with ease this today is an indication that they have not being the domineering force they are known as. Such a shame that they hardly score over 3.5 goals in their matches. This is the reason they are out of my chart. |

a large percentage of gamblers are guilty of this including me. When I saw this post I just smiled knowing that I'm number one person that do not read T&C of casinos instead I search around to see if I can lay hands on information about their reputation. When I cannot find any negative report about a casino I want to signup in, I believe their T&C must be good. Because of this post, I will try my best to glance through going forward. The terms and conditions of casinos and other companies is usually very lengthy and somehow boring for some people. Hence , many people rarely find time to read them. They may actually contain some of the complaints that people raise about some casinos such requiring KYC if there is need or suspicion of money laundering activities.
What is your take on this?
If the case was to go to a law court, they can use the fact that you accepted their terms and condition against you and you lose the case. Casino that won't to scam their customers will put in terms that will favour them when they want to denied you access to your winnings due to lack of kyc or been unable to convincingly proof the source of your capital that you used for gambling for people that used a large sum and also won a large amount of money. This is the part that scares me the most. Imagine losing your money, going to court and still losing in court just for now reading terms and conditions. Just hope people will start taking this minor thing seriously. The OP did a nice job bringing it here. |
