Hopefully, we never get involved in unnecessary things like that so we can focus on our work. We must not allow ourselves to be defeated by desires that tell us to gamble wherever we are because we are in control of ourselves. By always remembering where we are and what we are doing, we hope that we can position ourselves well and that nothing will interfere with our work. We don't want to be fired by our office because we gamble, which we can do after work. We must try to be professionals at work even though we don't have a position because we are accepted to work to have income that can be used to meet our daily needs.

That would be nice but the problem is that no matter if that person new to gambling won and got away I think still he would be back at some time so most likely they will become addict as they will think that winning is easy and will keep losing becoming true gamblers.I don't know anyone that has done just that,won big and moved away from gambling and enjoyed life and never looked back.Difficult to do that so we have yet to see one such person.

A break certainly matters. This is indeed a good recommendation, but it is only one element of successful therapy. And this assumes that you have already decided to stop gambling. But what if you are driven to therapy by failures and losses, but in your heart you still don’t want to stop playing? Then most likely no break will help you. A person must honestly ask himself whether he wants to stop playing? If the answer is no, then the therapy will be only partially effective.
To be fully effective, a person will need to understand himself.

Well.. we are talking about a team that underwent three consecutive defeats in the CONMEBOL qualifiers. They are at the 6th position in the points table (out of a total of 10 teams). Teams like Venezuela are ahead of them in points table, at this point. So if someone says negative about Brazil, then it is understandable. One argument in their support is that they are impacted by Neymar's injury. But then, they have some of the best players in the world such as Vinícius Júnior, Richarlison and Matheus Cunha. So the performance at qualifiers was a big shock to everyone.

That's right, because people will always be happier when they can get more and forget that things could be the other way around, and under any circumstances people who can't accept the results well will try to find something or someone else to blame, because it has failed them to get a lot, or which has caused him to lose a lot, this is a fact that happens a lot and rarely do people learn that whatever the result must be acceptable because that is what we deserve, and there is no need to think about what ifs and ifs because it is just an if it is not a definite situation happen.

Congrats on your win! It's normal for you to feel conflicted after what happened with your friend, but it's great that you were able to turn a small win into a big win. Situations that you didn't expect can sometimes deliver pleasant surprises. You should focus on the good things that happened, and who knows, your luck might get even better in the future. Congratulations!

But in terms of addiction, that is no longer part of enjoying but a lust and desire that needed to fill out, gambler who already suffering from this stage can do anything, things that un-imaginable that those person will do, most cases, they are selling valuable items or loaning money from friends or institutions and worse, they can do illegal things that really put them into a big risk.

That's how madness from a gambling addicted person can do, no control and doing things that not really usual.

You're probably right. At this point, the mental aspect affects all the players, coach and even managers of the Brazilian national team. When the phase is bad, everything seems to go wrong, and things happen that have never happened before, like the Brazilian team's defeats in the 2026 WC qualifiers

I know that many of you no longer believe in Brazil and prefer European teams, but if there's one thing Brazil is good at, it's the power to overcome, and it could be a very good thing if Brazil goes to the 2026 World Cup without all the favoritism (although the 200 million Brazilians already put absurd pressure on the team before any World Cup).

Now that the coach has been appointed, let's wait for the job to be done.
I know that many of you don't know the coach either, or always prefer names already known in Europe, but Dorival JR is good, and could take a good chance

Sometimes I would gamble before work because some baseball would start before it. Either made the day really fun, or bad. So I stopped because there is no point going into work mad because of a bet.

Buddy system.

I say it in this forum every few times. It's the only thing that works for me, it was due to forex I had this system and it transferred over to gambling.

Have one guy know everything. Your bets your expenses. And ask him to confirm your biggest riskiest bets. It has to be a gambler too, but not someone to close. Just we are buddies over 15 years now, I warn him when he is taking too big risk he does same for me.

Take a break, buddy. It's the most welcome phrase to hear.

I don't agree that successful gamblers are addicts. why is that? because I still see some people who are even new to the world of gambling and immediately take the gambling chair. and at that moment he won the gambling. is that person an addict? I don't think so. they just got lucky and then left and never came back again at least not for a long time.

I myself agree with you that Brazil team can return to a good position with their best performance. There is a lot of time before the start of the 2026 World Cup, so if every player of the Brazil team tries well, then they will certainly be able to complete the mission of the 2026 World Cup well. Before preparing for the 2026 World Cup, the Brazilian team must find a good course so that they lead that course and every player performs at their best. Of course, best wishes for the Brazilian team.

Gambling while working is indeed a common thing among office workers. because they think when they have free time instead of just scrolling social media that does not produce anything they start switching to gambling sites.
But keep in mind, because it is only for leisure time, as you said. never set a winning target. even if you get a little winnings it is more than enough when compared to the time wasted if you only use free time to play social media.

What would you do if you had lost this bet ? Would you become happy that your friend didn't keep his word ?
You wouldn't have placed a bet of $10 and lost it in that case. Things don't work that way.
You can be mad at him for not keeping his word and not returning the money at the right time.
But don't be mad at him just because you could have used more money to place the bet that you won.
You could have lost too. It's all just luck and so stay happy and enjoy your returns.

All u need to know about "expert" is what markets he's betting on
if he's sharing bets from most popular markets like Premier League NBA ATP etc then there is basically 100% chance he's not making ANY profit

Actual experts do exists tho, it's just not easy not find them

Depends on what they want to achieve.

Usually it's either traffic or money, if they want to achieve traffic they will create their own site and then get money by renting the space or ads.

If they want to achieve money, they will create a private group or share referral link.

Not really sure what enforcing multiples you meant, but I doubt people put a big bet using someone else forecast.

I think a good number of employees secretly and perhaps, when less busy gamble at work for various reason. Probably to burn some time while seeing how lucky they could get while playing.
It’s undeniable. Gambling in the workplace could affect your work performance in the long run and it’s always advisable to focus on your work while on working hours.

I wouldn’t want to work for an employer who feel they aren’t bound by the company rules and regulations and are actively involved in the running of the business. Also, I don’t think employees would work optimally and at their best for the growth of the organization.

Brazil in the 2022 World Cup had a much better situation than we see from them right now and I think Brazil should think about improving the team if they want to even have the same performance we saw from them in the last season because currently, they are obviously now in the good form. However, I think Brazil with its younger players can have a sssshining future if they get a new coach and pay more attention to the younger talents they have got.

I also wonder if many do prefer playing slot to other games while gambling, sport bettings is more popular and most gamblers engage it more than slot, which means only few concentrate more on slot than the other games being played while gambling, there's no how we can play slot and never experience loss and same applies to many other sports and games as well as we gamble them, we loose and we enjoy the fun at the end which is our ultimate gain.

Funny but that's reality in gambling, each time you play especially when you are inside offshore casino, when you stay longer you will
find different people and some of them will befriends to you and will be there when you are winning,

But try to find them when you are in the losing side, you will find yourself blaming them because they are no longer at your side.

Very common and most of the time can be observe from those people who loves playing but not good in accepting the outcome.
