someone might become a professional gambler, they could take up the profession of playing poker, or other games related to skill. there are many examples of people who have made gambling their profession, but achieving this is not easy because it requires time, experience and luck, so not everyone can and is capable of making gambling a full-time profession.
Even those who have the skill of making mathematical calculations, I still have not seen any of them who take gambling too seriously. Some of them still have teaching jobs and other side hustles that give them money, and they call that their major source of income. Gambling and winning, no matter how good you are at it, is not something you can add all your hope to. Just like walking aside and being asked what you do for a living, you replied, I'm a professional gambler. How does that really sound? To me, I don't buy the idea of giving my all to gambling for any reason. One can still be good at gambling and do other things that are their profession. No one studies gambling in school or learns it as a skill, or do they? If yes, I guess there is something that I'm missing in this gambling community. Gambling is a costly activity to maintain as it takes more from you regularly than it gives in return and there's no connection between the statement " full time job" and gambling. Like you @oprichukwu rightly said, a full time job have got to be that job that provides constant income to you either on daily, weekly, or monthly basis and you're with assurance that immediately that time approaches the income lands but not so with gambling. You just don't depend on it at all, there's no assurance, you always at the mercy of fate and lucky, is that what should be connected or categorized as a full time job? I don't get it too. |

Now I am angry at my friend because he didn't keep to his words. Although I am still happy about the win, I wish he had given me back the $10. Then, I would have win bigger money.
A question I have been wanting to ask and thank goodness this afford me the perfect timing opportunity to ask; which is, why are gambler's never satisfied with any amount of money they won from their bet? They always wish they had staked more than the amount they used is staking the bet, and peradventure they lost the bet they would be wishing they had staked lower amount then losing all that high amount at a single stake. Let's be contented with whatever amount we won, there are other gamblers that have won half of what luck gave you ever since this year they have been gambling. As for borrowing people money, I don't borrow my last cash to anyone be you firend or foe, last cash is like a lifeguard in sea you don't just give it out like that. |

If you feel like people who do this kind of thing are just few and they are stupid, think again. This is so prevalent in the gambling industry that certain countries like Australia even had to impose a ban on using credit cards in gambling sites and sportsbets to make sure that no one's digging their own graves trying to gamble their whole life away. So yeah, real PSA for everyone out there, don't gamble if you can't afford shit. Gambling wouldn't give you anything but entertainment, the money is never a guarantee and by the moment you login your acccount/step inside the casino, you should already set your mind to the fact that you're not gonna win anything and you'd probably end up empty-handed after the ordeal, but don't let it get to you and just gamble for the sake of enjoyment.
One thing is to give warning to people against taking loan to gamble and another is left for them to accept the warning or not. Imposing a ban doesn't make them not scramble for other means to attain loans to use for gambling. Many gamblers do this alot and it baffles me what gives then the guarantee that they are going to win and recover their losses to be able to repay the loan money when they couldn't get a win when they were using their own very money that was taken as a loan. It's stupid and silly yet people do it and am lost in the ideology behind that action for people who this. |

Sometimes watching streamer and being motivated to play unknown games to us brings luck out of nowhere. Keep on trying but just don’t over commit. Trying the unknown and winning big time is really fun experience.
That's the essence of having gambling streamers they are there to motivate, tempt and capture our interest towards a particular game or casino, I mean that's what they are paid to do (to motivate us). it's great trying out new games we ain't uses to as we don't know where in particular our luck lies, can be luck to beat the game at a first trial although not always the case, but when trying out new games whether the outcome turns out to be positive or negative we should not get carried away by it, we keep our cool for just because it's a new game or it's your first time isn't a warranty that outcome was supposed to favour you. Lucky op, congrats to him. |

The match has been over, I there is no change with the score. Barcelona won the match with a single goal made by Felix. Barcelona is lucky that they signed Felix as a loaned player, he contributed well. Without Felix, Barcelona couldn't win this match.
When Chelsea played against Manchester City and Cole Palmer had to go against his old team, he scored a goal but did not celebrate so much out of respect, but Felix was everywhere, paired well with Lewandoski and scored and celebrated heavily not looking remorseful to indicate he loves Barcelona. The win for Barcelona means that they are still in the race to win the La Liga and are ready to take over if Real Madrid and Girona make mistakes. Barcelona will play against Girona next and that game's outcome will have a strong effect on the La Liga table. It was an amusing game from both sides tonight with a well deserve victory for Barca anyway, not would have believed that joao Felix will celebrate that goal he scored against his former club but he did with uncontrollable joy. Barcelona's performance tonight appeared to be an improved one although I expect them to do more and bounce back top at the table and try not to be missing much of goal chances as there were lots of chances they threw away in the person of Lewandoski a prolific striker like him shouldn't be losing such opportunities repeatedly in a single game. It could have been a convincing win if more goals were gotten but it's rather a narrow one for sure. |

Girona performed really well against Valencia. They did not break the deadlock though. They actually conceded first in this match. But in the end, they were able to make a very good comeback. They were able to score 2 goals and win the match. And honestly, I expected them to win this match because the way they were performing in this match was really incredible. Even though their opponent was able to score 1st in this match, they did not have any control over this match. So it made it easy for Girona to make a comeback. But of course, they have to be given a lot of credit for actually making a comeback.
Girona have continued their good form and wants to remain on top of the table amidst the pressure they’ll face as long as they still remain there. This was not suppose to be an easy match for them but they did well by winning this match because it has helped them to still maintain the first position. They are still confidence of themselves to keep the top spot, if they continue like this, they will remain there for a very long time. What we are not sure of now is that; can they be a possible league winner this season? When the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are still in the league and the league haven't gone even an halfway yet. Girona will be part of the champion's league race for next season I think, that should be their objective against next season by maintaining their form at all cost staying within the top 3rd or 4th position on the laliga table. They have a lot of talented and experience players which makes them an excellent mix of players. Though they have strong opponents like Real Madrid who are in heavy form, and Barcelona that are yet to wake up from their slumber, but hopefully by next year Girona's objective will be clear if they are after the laliga title or to maintain their spot to qualify for the UCL next season. |

Please recommend good sites with quality sports predictions and detailed analyses of predictions
I use to depend and make use of some those sport prediction sites after following their numerous analysis and so-called indepth details yet I still lose my bets and it happened many times that I lost games with good money as believed that the odds of winning the games were high due to where I got the details from as per professional analysis. Long story short, I got weary with them and now have to be doing my analysis myself and it has been better for me as my loses ain't that high anymore as it were. So Op, I believe you can do it yourself stead of depending on those supposed professional analysis, some are sponsored analyst by sports betting sites to draw more bettors with higer stakes. |

Excessive gambling can be a sign of addiction. A gambler is addicted to gambling when he feels that he is losing regularly in gambling but is unable to quit gambling even after losing regularly. Gambling addicted to gambling and gambling as a hobby have the same purpose, the purpose of both is to make money but the purpose of both is the same but the effect is different. A person who is addicted to gambling will have very bad effects of gambling but a person who gambles as a hobby will not have any bad effects of gambling. That's why we should enjoy gambling and take gambling only as fun as we have the chance to win money and gambling will not have any bad effect on us or my family.
It is very difficult for gamblers who are addicted to gambling to admit loss from gambling. They will continue gambling again to recover from their losses or to chase their wins again. However, they tend to want to continue gambling because gambling has become their passion to fill their free time. His goal in gambling is no longer looking for fun and entertainment but has changed, but he himself doesn't know what his goal is now. He just felt that by gambling, he could feel comfortable and not want to do anything else. It will be more dangerous when he only spends his time in the casino without doing other activities because he could become a person with a very serious gambling addiction. And if that happens, it will be difficult for his family because they will definitely be confused about how to cure him. Responsible gambling can be fun and exciting. In contrast, the situation you describe is very different. When this happens, gambling goes from being a fun activity to an all-consuming addiction. Individual's inability to notice his changing goals is a problem. Isn't it strange that the bettor looks for comfort in something that is clearly leading to a problem? There's more going on here than just passing the time; it's a deeper psychological trick. It's dangerous because, as you said, it could ruin his finances and have a big effect on his family and social life. What is the best way to balance the thrill of gambling with the possibility of bad things happening? Finding the thin line between love and addiction is very important. Support systems are very important in this situation; being aware and acting quickly are necessary. But how can we make sure that the appealing nature of gambling doesn't make us forget how important it is to be self-controlled? For gambling addiction support system can only yield solution to the gambler when first, the gambler recognizes and accept that he has now turned an addict, and consciously align with the those rendering the anti-addiction support in making sure he escape from it. In otherwords, without the addict agreeing that he's an addict and needs help to be free from the addiction no weight of support system giving will be useful. There are gamblers that have moved from fun gamblers to addicted gamblers and they are not aware they have crossed that thin line, such gamblers are not easy to advise. |

Even with two matches left, it will be a disaster because it may be unexpected that one of these matches loses and you will lose the profit, so if this is a large amount of money then you hesitate to continue this bet it is better to cash out even if it is after the profit that should be.
I very rarely cash out midway because I know what is at stake a little but if you need money and don't want to lose it all then it's better to cash out than you hesitate to make this decision, unless you are ready to lose anything then there is no need to cash out wait until the remaining two matches are completed, if you are lucky you will get a decent win.
At times we should also view this bets in form of business we are running in terms of when we want to make decisions as it's regard to cashing out. As in, what sort of business will you invest $20k and you will be making a returns of $300k+ within an hour as the business begins? Cause from the the bet slip as shown by op it was 20k he used in staking and you're offered 300k+ as cash out when there are three other games left to play which outcome is uncertain. If I were to be in that shoe and I believe so much that those three remaining games will play as predicted in a business man perspective I will cash-out the 300k and use 50k to rebet the other remaining games, for a bird at hand is better than many in the bush. |

Not all gamblers that plays with a small amount of money in order to win big amount do so out of greed it could be that the small money of $10 was the amount they had with them at the time of making the bet, some however, do use small amounts as a means to be able to have many chances of playing to try their luck instead of using all of the money at ones. While some are just mere greed, they want to win even more than a $100 with just $5, even if it's possible with luck setting in but it's rare to happen and before it does you could have lost many times more than whatever amount you will be winning.
Yes, that's true because each gambler has a different fund allocation so they will gamble based on their fund allocation. But most gamblers who use small bets and can win large amounts of money will try to gamble again to win even more. Even though it is not recommended, that is what happens to many gamblers so it only increases the number of losses later. We cannot hope that luck will remain with us in the next round so that the final result will remain uncertain whether we win or lose. They may only be able to continue gambling but have to accept the risk if they lose because they desire to continue gambling. A lack of satisfaction and high expectations is what makes some gamblers to still continue playing after having a win that was supposed to be taken as the achievement of the day but they get unsatisfied with the amount bethinking that maybe if they could try another bet again it might get them lucky to win again but it most times ends in loss. For the fact that I was lucky to win ones or probably twice at a row doesn't make it certain that I might continue in the winning streaks. Sometimes that one win after many times of losses for the day is just fortune own way of smiling at us so we don't go back home completely emptied. |

Newcastle has been the better side so far in this game pressurizing Manchester united without pity forcing them to sit down in their own 18 yard box, making errors and causing fowls and I don't think Manchester united can survive this pressure from Newcastle tonight, they will eventually concede. Newcastle just need to be more creative in the second half with the ball to find a goal behind the red devil's net. Manchester united has lost their old glory and it's just a shame they are playing so terrible with team work and pattern unlike their opponent in this game that's playing as a team that knows what they are out tonight for.
Its very hard to believe that Newcastle united couldn't find the back of the net with several chances in front of goal and hitting the woodwork and mesmerizing the Manchester united defence as if they they were playing against a youth team, how they couldn't find the back of the net is something can't figure out, but I can tell you for sure that the Manchester united side were extremely lucky to have not conceded a goal in the first 45minutes and I wonder how long it would take before they run out of luck, they just have to step up their game or risk being beaten tonight because the Newcastle side are playing with so much intensity and pace tonight and they will surely come back with more fire in second half and if the red devils do not brace up, then Newcastle may break the deadlock. it would have been very disappointing had Newcastle united not gotten a goal in this game after all of the pressures, just after that goal it seems Newcastle felt relaxed taking a back sit withdrawing the intensiveness of their pressure which Manchester united tried to take advantage of the incentive and started making a bit of a possession but it was too late. Newcastle won the game with 1:0 victory, had all the ball possession, shots on target, and with the highest number of touches in the 18 yard box in this game, Manchester had nothing to boast of except fowl kicks. Admittedly, Manchester united has collapsed tactically under Ten Hag's watch this season, |

This Arsenal team is extremely great this season, a side with the most clean-sheet in the EPL this season. I am impressed with the performance of Tomiyasu in this game his energy and concentration shows hinsi back to his former self, pairing with Gabriel .j, Odegaard and Saka to give an excellent combo that's destroying the Wolves team in the first 45mins, Arsenal leading 2:0. Perhaps we should expect more goals to come in the second half as Gabriel .J is yet to register his name into the score sheet.
On the other side of the premier league Burnley is leading 2:0 against Sheffield united who are one man down due to a red card.
Wolves had almost no chances. they didn't have enough possession to create gaps in Arsenal's defense. Gabriel Jesus did contribute quite well to Arsenal's attack. but this season he hasn't talked much about scoring. Even in 9 appearances in the EPL, he has only scored 1 goal. but something was different when he played in the UCL. however, Arteta has 3 very dangerous front players. they also have a strong midfield. Arsenal deserves to compete for trophies this season. and I hope they don't repeat the mistakes of last season when they were close to holding the trophy. I hope so too that they don't repeat the mistake of previous season after giving their all only to get it all wrong at the end. I think a solidification of their position at the top of the table with a clear distant points away from City let say 10-12 points clear will be great. Also, I just wish to talk about the the 1 goal conceded by Arsenal in this game in the 86mins of play, that Cunha goal was due to a defensive error which I think coach Artheta need to give a close look at his defender's for correction in future, because the last 10mins before full time wasn't funny for a team whose objective is to win the EPL trophy this season. |

So it is not wise to 100% trust a site , as anything unexpected can happen any time. We should be prepared and never store so much money on freebitco or any site.
It is true that we cannot completely trust third parties, but we can choose the right place for our money, even though the wallet is not completely safe either, there are also some cases of them losing their money in the wallet either because of phishing sites or others, all of them It depends on each user how they want to store their money, third party sites like exchanges or sites like freebitcoin. There is no guarantee that money will be safe, but we might be more careful in choosing sites or other places to store and place our money and it is not wise to trust third party sites 100%, even personal wallets are also not completely 100% either, The point is that it comes back to each individual's choice, if I personally only save a few FUN tokens in FreeBitcoin just to get WOF, the rest I keep in my wallet as a long-term investment. Every storage methods have their risks, but without any doubts it's much more risky to keep your money at third party hands than keeping the coins with yourself. By storing your coins inside a cold wallet, the maximum which can happen is to lose the keys and access to your wallet, but then it's totally your fault for not taking care of it properly, while when storing money at online platforms your money will be under the responsability of someone else, so you will depend on them all the time. It still seems much safer to think you are the only one controlling your funds instead of relying on others to do so, unless you have the conscience of being a very careless, inattentive person. Story your coins in third party control like the exchangers is same as keeping your money in the bank which some persons hate but still have their coins sleeping in an CEX of what difference does it make. The least I can do with CEX is that my coin gets in there for trading and p2p transactions immediately am done I transfer bank to my non-custodial wallet. It's only irresponsible people that will be scared of manning the responsibility of keeping their own money safe through the safety of their private keys. Your coins are safer when you have charge over your keys than when it's in third party's the rules are so much to bear. |

Congratulations to you OP if this story of yours is true.
Mine was having a shitcoin airdrop way back then, that's why I didn't bother to sell it that time. Way back 2018, its price went up to a decent amount, but it's not that big, I sold it for around $500 worth of Ethereum. I was so happy with that since it was just an airdrop. I don't know how big was your fund collected from your old account or wallet but I'm pretty sure that was a blessing in disguise.
I see people questioning about the genuineness of op story I can't blame their doubts as a lot of stories similar to this sort has been cooked and served on the forum many times but something tells me this is a real one as I have had someone with similar experience in his own case he was so lucky to have the username and password in an old scrap pad (notebook) he lost memory of where he had placed it after some years when he was relocating as he was packing and disposing off item's he won't be needing anymore he stumbled on the notebook. So things like this happen but in different ways for different people people only that we can't say for sure which is genuine when we read them in the forum. |

I have a little knowledge but I need a guide. Bought some cryptocurrency like XRP and Bitcoin. Currently people only talk about Bitcoin but the price is very high for me to afford investing in it. I don't know why I feel like it's the only cryptocurrency worth investing and I would love to try but am still learning gradually about it.
You're damn right bitcoin right now is the only cryptocurrency worth investing on, it's with an irrelevant risk when compared to other altcoins supposing you are investing for a long term. Don't get bothered about the price you don't have to owned 1bitcoin to be a proud BTC owner you can always buy from how much you have and probably DCA to increase your portfolio returns eventually. About not having cemented knowledge it's fine as long as you have the interest to learn, you can invest and be learning at same time in that way you're growing both in knowledge and portfolio. |
