641  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Simple mistake that makes you lose everything on: March 17, 2024, 09:29:46 AM
I am a person who does not believe in strategy in gambling, because I think it is luck. I have heard a lot about this strategy used and to be honest, I have also used it, but in reality, I always lose, that's why I don't believe in strategies and things like that. Because logically a strategy can bring victory, many people have been successful in gambling if they use a strategy. But I don't see that now. I also wouldn't blame them for believing in the strategy, that's completely their right. It's just that for me, when something depends on luck, then all strategies don't work well.
This strategy requires us to double the bet every round, it allows us to spend money in a short time. And when we do that it doesn't increase our chances of winning. So consider everything, are we able to lose money in a short time because we hope for a strategy, or will we play normally as usual, because if luck comes to us then we won't miss out on winning, even without the strategy we use.
It's not just strategy that will win you over there. I have also personally tried various strategies to win at gambling but not always the strategy favour me. I've had some wins and some losses there. I'm pretty sure that strategy might give a gambler some advance clues to win but there's no guarantee that those clues are actually correct. Luck plays an important role in winning in gambling. It is never possible to win in gambling without luck. I can't find anyone who can win a bet for sure. I agree with you that if luck is good we can get a win even in an impossible bet. But no strategy is useful in gambling without luck.
So that's why I don't believe in strategy, because even if strategy is useful, it won't be free from luck. However, some people still believe in strategies and even one of my friends really believes in tricks, winning patterns or strategies, and strangely enough he still believes even though as long as he plays with tricks or patterns, I never see him win. Lol
Maybe this has brainwashed him because he can't think rationally anymore, but I'm sure he will slowly realize that it's wrong, and I still think it's a normal thing because he can be said to be a new gambler. In fact, it's not uncommon for me to see him watching videos on how to get big wins in gambling. Honestly, I laughed when I saw that, because how could we believe a "tutorial" video like that.
Indeed, I see that many of those who are new to gambling already believe in things like that, this happens because there are lots of promotional advertisements about winning strategies which eventually enter their minds. But one day I'm sure they'll realize it.

Carelessness usually leads to something undesirable, such as a big loss or something else. when careless actions are taken, big problems can occur, thought patterns that can become messy will cause many problems to occur. Wrong thinking if we chase victory in gambling, it can cause us to experience big losses such as losing a large amount of money. This is different from wise gamblers, they gamble naturally and always consider the action they will take because they know it will be decisive. later. In my opinion, gamblers can think well about the gambling they do, so that everything can go well.
It's true what you said, luck plays an important role in gambling, because in my opinion the wins we get in gambling are also because we have luck, many people force themselves to gamble to be able to win but they don't look at their luck, so they engage in excessive gambling.
Carelessness in gambling, or any element of life, is like going into a deal without research - a disaster. I know how to win deals. Your point about being thoughtful and strategic rather than thoughtless is spot-on.

Most gamblers fail to spot bad bets, not luck. I've seen folks chase losses, thinking the next one will be their great gain. Thats wishful thinking, not strategy, and losers do it.

Compassion for this cycle's victims? Absolutely. However, scorn for the narrow-minded. Your wise gamblers are like excellent business executives. They evaluate, take calculated risks, and may quit. Its the art of the bargain, in gambling and life. To those who think they can defy odds without thinking: Wake up! Its about smart, informed judgments, not chance. You win in gambling and life that way.
Well, all decisions are in the hands of the gamblers, whether they will be responsible gamblers or they prefer to gamble without restrictions, which then we will call them addicted gamblers. No one forces them to gamble and no one forbids them to gamble, all decisions are completely in their hands.
Actually it's easy, they just need to understand what they can do when gambling and what they can't do when they are gambling, if they are aware of things like this, then I am very sure they will avoid unhealthy gambling or from gambling that is not responsible.
Nothing can be predicted from gambling, with facts like that, gamblers should be able to form a pattern of thinking that when they lose they should not chase their losses and when they win they should not be greedy. If they still do those two things, then I won't be surprised when one day I hear they went bankrupt because of the gambling they did all this time. It's actually easy to control yourself, but the first thing is that we have to realize it first.

There are elite teams pulling up to win the English Premier League title, none of them will want to relent, not when other oppositions have geared up their brilliant performance. You're underestimating Manchester City because they had a slight decline in performance this season? They're back and they're doing incredibly balance in matches. Manchester City will always come first when it comes to clubs that are favorite to lift the EPL crown title. Pep Guardiola won't hesitate to push his team forward because winning the EPL have been his for top priority this season.
Three elite teams, in orders, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, are competing for a first position to win Premier League title. Their differences are slim, only in goal difference and 1-point difference. Every team among these three elite teams can win the league title and we will have a big match between Manchester City and Arsenal.

It will be chances and risk for both teams. If this match ends with a draw, it will be a great chance for Liverpool to take over the first position but if any team win in this match will get a big advantage for the title race. A loser will fall behind the opponent and maybe behind Liverpool after this week.
This is a very tight competition shown by the three teams at the top of the standings. Arsenal leads by only having a goal productivity advantage over Liverpool, while they are the same on points. Manchester City is in third place and they only have a difference of 1 point from both Liverpool and Arsenal. With a point distance like that, the position can really change in just one match.
Of course, all teams will not want to beat to give the title to their competitors just like that, they will try as hard as they can to ensure that they will be the champions this season. Nobody wants to fail this season, but the problem is when the competition becomes very tight and it is not easy for all teams.
There is still a meeting between Manchester City vs Arsenal, this will also be one of the matches that will be very decisive for them, winning will put them above the team that lost in this match. I think they will go all out in this match, because victory is something they must get.

Juventus vs Genoa in the next 4 hours, will Juventus able to gain full points today? They have lost so many points during February till the last match, now they are 1 point behind AC Milan as the 2nd position in the standing and they are leading 4 points from Bologna. If they lose point again today, their position will be more dangerous because Bologna may overtake their position if they keep losing points in every remaining match. Anyway, odds for Juventus is 1.5 in this match but looking at their recent performance, it is a bit risky to bet on Juventus to win the match. What do you think?
Juventus is in a bad situation, they have only won 1 win from the last 5 matches they have played, clearly this is a bad result for them. Genoa, who will be their opponents this time, is also no better than Juventus, they also only won 1 of the last 5 matches they played. In my opinion, this is an opportunity for Juventus to be able to win again after it was very difficult for them to win in several matches.
In fact, the negative results they always receive mean that their position has to be shifted by AC Milan, which is now in second place. They have to get up and win again, because if they continue to get negative results then they will also be in danger of being knocked out of the top 4 positions. Things like that are clearly not good for them, so they have to prepare for this competition as well as possible. Because if you look at the quality they face, they should be able to win the match even with a narrow score, especially since they will be playing at their home base and that will make their motivation even greater.

Freiburg vs Leverkusen

Both teams has opposite results from their recent matches at Europa league because Freiburg was humiliated by West Ham with big scores 5-0 and Leverkusen dramatially win from mediocre team Qarabag but from this match i can see Leverkusen has champion mentality because they can fliped the situations after conceded 2 goals and about this match the winning result from Bayern Munich is pushing Leverkusen to gets maximum result from this match but not necessary to more analysis because obviously Leverkusen is much better tham Freiburg so that's why i believe Leverkusen can able to beat Freiburg today and the odds for Leverkusen win is @1.51

Yes, the two teams who will meet in the Bundesliga match will experience different fates in the European League this time. Surprisingly, Freiburg had to admit a very painful defeat to the English team West Ham, because after they were able to win in the first leg, in the second leg they actually lost with a very heavy score which ultimately resulted in them being eliminated from the European League. Meanwhile, Leverkusen were forced to work harder and were very fortunate that they were able to score 2 goals in second half added time which made them successful in getting a place in the quarter-finals.
In this match, Freiburg will act as hosts, which is an advantage for them. However, Leverkusen is in its best performance, apart from that, Leverkusen is also maintaining their record and they want to succeed in becoming champions in the Bundesliga this season. So they will go all out in this match to ensure they can get full points from their away match.

And the purpose of investing should be profit making, which is the reason people look for a good asset in the market to invest their money and have hope of earning from the investment when bull run come and it will be a good decision to carry out your research before conclude your choice.

Once you have the money on ground and you also have the skills in that particular business you are about to start and the location you want to establish the business is a busy area,  I guess you will never be poor again because you have all the skills the business required.
indeed the aim of investment is for profit, but this can happen if we make and carry out investments, also depending on the knowledge we have, if our investment knowledge is extensive and good, perhaps there will be no losses, because in my opinion losses in investments can be avoided by we have good knowledge, and conversely, if we don't have good knowledge then it is possible that the investment we make will not produce a profit, it will only result in a loss, therefore I think before making an investment we must be able to have good knowledge first .
and also with business, if we really want to start a business there are many things that we have to pay attention to, and what you said is true, skills are one of the things you must have when you want to start a business, because with good skills I think the business you run will run well so that it can generate profits or development. Not everyone can do business, because there are people who are lazy to move on to something better.
647  Economy / Economics / Re: Reckless financial decision ? on: March 16, 2024, 03:30:38 PM
Actually, the purpose of life is to enjoy life, what's the point if you keep looking for money until you don't have time to enjoy life? I understand what he means, being rich is actually simple, all you need is enough, there are no shortages and not having bills or debt is already happiness in life.

Indeed, on the one hand, money can buy happiness. That's clear. With money we can provide for the people we love and that will give us happiness. However, happiness itself can actually be obtained without needing money, aka free, namely by being grateful and learning to enjoy what is there. But still, money helps increase happiness. However, if money is not used wisely, it can actually bring sadness and even disaster. Basically, we all have to avoid rash decisions in our finances, because wise decisions will make us rich.
In fact, I think it's very likely that we have bills that have to be paid every month, such as water, electricity, and maybe wifi. Indeed, life should be enjoyed, because of course if we continue to earn money there is a chance that the mind will become stressed, therefore when the holiday time comes we must be able to pamper ourselves because in my opinion it is a must also because it is a way to calm the mind. by going on holiday or by shopping with the money earned from our work, it doesn't matter.
It's true what you say that money can help increase our happiness, but even so, I don't think everything can be bought with money. I agree with you that if we can't manage our finances well then it will probably be a problem for us too, when the money runs out what will happen is confusion. Therefore, when we have money we must be able to manage it well, including expenses. so that there are no regrets at the end.
648  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you believe in savings or investment on: March 16, 2024, 03:11:42 PM
I don't feel that it is a mistake when someone prefers to save their salary rather than investing it. Because not everyone wants to invest their money, either because their knowledge is limited to it or for other reasons. So whether someone saves or invests doesn't matter, because both are equally good, but it's even better if both things are done together.
I agree with you, although investing can be profitable, it cannot be done by everyone, of course everyone has their own wishes, including managing their money. I myself don't think that saving is a bad thing, because it is a pretty good way of managing money. Many people save money to fulfill their desires, such as buying their dream property or gadgets and so on, and I think that's not bad, because then they have the will to try.
Meanwhile, for investment, of course we must have knowledge of aspects related to investment so that the investment made does not experience losses. because of course everyone doesn't want to experience financial losses. therefore not everyone invests. It's true that what you're doing might be better if we do it simultaneously, but make sure our finances are stable. Don't force yourself to be able to do both of these things simultaneously if your finances are unstable.
649  Economy / Economics / Re: How can it be possible coping with one source of income on: March 16, 2024, 02:51:20 PM
The problem the OP is facing is that she only has one job, and in the last year she's had a lot of bills, so I assume she doesn't have any money to save let alone invest. There is only one way to overcome problems like this, namely by looking for additional income without disturbing your main job and learning to live frugally so you can pay off existing bills.

After everything is finished, then think about investing, because investment is not a get-rich-quick scheme, let alone crypto investment, of course for the long term. If you invest with less money and still have a lot of bills, I don't think it's a wise choice. The wise choice for the OP at this time is to continue to hone your skills so that your life becomes more productive, especially in the current technological era, it is very easy to find additional income, the important thing is to keep trying and not give up easily.
That's true, perhaps one way is to look for additional work or side work. but not everyone can do it, because to do this in my opinion it requires more energy and time which must also be taken into account, don't force ourselves to do it if it will torture ourselves. and with time, of course when we do extra work or side jobs we have to be able to manage our time, where we are also humans who have to have time to rest, too much work is not good for our health.
and if you are capable of everything going well, what you have to pay attention to is money management so that everything can be better, don't let having a side or additional job make us more wasteful in managing finances, when finances start to stabilize then we can think about save or invest if that is what you want, because not everyone wants to invest even though it has been recommended, and to make an investment of course we have to be able to pay attention to many things such as emergency funds and others.

Wise gamblers know how to manage expectations and understand the dynamics of the game. Indeed, greed can cloud judgment and lead to reckless behavior, ultimately undermining the chances of success. It's normal to expect winnings while enjoying the game, that is a balanced mindset that allows for enjoyment without succumbing to the pressure of chasing elusive wins. Gamblers have to realize that both wins and losses are part of the gambling experience. This enables gamblers to maintain perspective and learn from their experiences.

Exploring different casinos and being mindful of variations in house edge is a sensible strategy. The fundamental principles of gambling remain consistent across different establishments, but slight variations in rules and odds may impact outcomes. Adapting to these differences and staying true to effective strategies can enhance the chances of success. Luck plays a significant role, maintaining accuracy in strategies and staying disciplined can help mitigate the impact of fluctuations in luck.
Carelessness usually leads to something undesirable, such as a big loss or something else. when careless actions are taken, big problems can occur, thought patterns that can become messy will cause many problems to occur. Wrong thinking if we chase victory in gambling, it can cause us to experience big losses such as losing a large amount of money.

My personal experience is a bad experience when playing blackjack. that's because I always double my bet when I lose.

Indeed, at some point the doubling can restore the condition of my money. However, when I returned, I continued playing in that way and ended up losing in a row which resulted in my money running out before coming back again.
It was a bad experience that I will always remember and use as a valuable lesson. that not always doubling the bet can restore the situation.
Doubling your bet after a loss is the famous, or should I say infamous, martingale strategy, the martingale strategy is often sold by scammers as a strategy that can allow a person to become profitable when they gamble, since it is true that with it you can win up to 99% of the time, but what those scammers do not tell you is that once you hit that 1%, not only you will lose your bet, but it is almost guaranteed that you will lose all the money you had at that casino.
I am a person who does not believe in strategy in gambling, because I think it is luck. I have heard a lot about this strategy used and to be honest, I have also used it, but in reality, I always lose, that's why I don't believe in strategies and things like that. Because logically a strategy can bring victory, many people have been successful in gambling if they use a strategy. But I don't see that now. I also wouldn't blame them for believing in the strategy, that's completely their right. It's just that for me, when something depends on luck, then all strategies don't work well.
This strategy requires us to double the bet every round, it allows us to spend money in a short time. And when we do that it doesn't increase our chances of winning. So consider everything, are we able to lose money in a short time because we hope for a strategy, or will we play normally as usual, because if luck comes to us then we won't miss out on winning, even without the strategy we use.

This all comes back to each individual. Where there are some people who bet for the reason of adding sensation and pleasure when watching the matches they are taking part in, especially matches of their favorite club. in other words, they enjoy the match more than the bets they place. But there are also those who bet just to make a profit, so they always consider every opportunity in the bets they place, even if they have to bet against their papvotrit team. Because when the prediction results show that the opposing team is stronger than our favorite team. So it would be stupid if we bet on a weaker team. And people who bet like this, they tend to like the bet more than the game. But as a fan, of course this is unethical behavior, and can violate the code of ethics as a fan. Where as fans we should be able to respect the integrity of pair play. As fans of a certain team, we must have confidence that our favorite team will always try to give their best so as not to disappoint their fans.
If we already love a team then we don't care about the odds given by the bookie and even though realistically the chance of losing is much greater then it won't affect us, because in my opinion it is no longer the mind or brain that speaks, but the heart that speaks.
I have a story about this, this is the experience of a friend of mine who happens to be a supporter of one of the local teams in my country. He will do anything to support his favorite team, until one day his favorite team faces the team at the top of the standings. He asked me to help him find an opponent to bet on at that time, I was a little confused because logically his team would definitely lose, but he insisted on still looking for an opponent to bet on (he made individual bets, not from a gambling site).
From that experience, I believe that a fanatical fan doesn't care about the status of the opponent he or she will face, because usually they will always believe that their favorite team will win and that's why at the beginning I said they had used their heart.
653  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 16, 2024, 08:49:20 AM
Lyon didn't start the season well, they had quite a hard time getting points but slowly their performance started to improve from a total of 10 wins or 30 points, of which they achieved six of those wins when the season was halfway through.
Lyon is lucky enough to be able to improve the condition of their team as soon as possible, which has kept them away from the relegation zone and so far has managed to get into the top ten.
Lyon managed to beat Toulouse, and the two goals they managed to score after trailing 1-2 made them successful again in getting full points even though this was an away match.
The first reason why Lyon started the season badly was just a lack of talented players and a bad coach, but after Lyon replaced the old coach with a new coach and also got new players, they were finally able to make big changes and it was very clear that the new players were obtained from the season's transfer market. Cold yesterday made a good contribution and successfully helped Lyon leave the red zone.
Lyon's victory against Toulouse can be guaranteed if Lyon will win according to the history of meetings between these two clubs. Lyon always dominates the victory so yesterday's defeat was not something sad for Toulouse because they have often experienced defeats against Lyon.
Lyon is one of the popular clubs, so as I said at the time, Lyon will definitely rise again to improve their performance and enter the top 10 positions.
Yes, that makes sense because at the start of the season they didn't show anything good and after they changed coaches they started to show an improvement in their performance. This is a risk for a coach, because if a team's performance under his direction is bad then they will immediately be blamed, especially if the arrival of a new coach brings fresh air, it is something that confirms that the problem is with the coach.
Now Lyon is ranked 10th in the standings and they have a pretty good record. 4 wins from the 5 matches they played is a very good record, especially with their condition gradually improving. This can be a motivation for them to always be able to play optimally in the next competition to maintain their winning record. Their next match will face Reims, which is not much different in terms of quality. This will be a tight match and it will be difficult to predict, because for now they don't have any significant differences in terms of strength. However, Lyon has a slight advantage because they will play as hosts.

Quarter final draw is here:

Tell us your favorites in this round.
These draws are interesting as Roma and Leverkusen might have another chance to meet each other in Europa League semi finals. Last season, Roma won with Mourinho but the coach was sacked in this season. In Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso is still there and he is improving his team a lot in this season.

If they re-meet in this season, it will be chance for Leverkusen to revenge their defeat last season but Roma are still strong and this semi final between them will be exciting.

Roma have a stronger opponent than Leverkusen but going to quarter finals, no team will want to give up here. Roma in Serie A does not have good head to head record against AC Milan and they will have to play carefully in quarter final matches.
AS Roma have opponents that they are actually very used to facing because they both come from Serie A, but this is actually a problem for them, because in the last few meetings AS Roma has had difficulty winning when facing AC Milan. Likewise with AC Milan they will face AS Roma, which if we base it on their performance in Serie A then AC Milan has a better performance, so this is an advantage for AC Milan in this quarter-final round.
However, it will not be easy for both teams in this match, because what I said earlier is an advantage on paper only, it does not guarantee that the match will go on like before. Moreover, this is the European League which may have a different atmosphere. Both AS Roma and AC Milan must be careful if they want to advance to the next round. In fact, this is an opportunity for both teams to win a title, because in Serie A itself it is very difficult for them to win it because Inter Milan is already far ahead. So they can take advantage of this European League to win at least 1 title this season.

This Rashford news I keep seeing in the newspapers, internet charter etc about the number 10 him leaving for PSG is looking more likely than not... especially that United hasn't sold a player for profit in a long time and an 80 million opportunity presents itself ...

If Manchester United decided to sell him, they gotta need to find another replacement for sure. As for now, Aside from Garnacho there isnt a single player that could fill in that spot. Diallo is still inexperienced to play on that position though but if they decided to get back Greenwood then I guess there is a chance that Rashford could leave but as of now I dont see this happening or atleast we'll see at the end of the season if Ten Hag decided that Rashford needs to leave
I think if they decide to let him go then they definitely have something they want to bring in, it's just that it hasn't surfaced yet. Manchester United's squad depth is still problematic, so therefore they cannot sell without bringing in new players who are ready to fill the void left by these players. So like it or not, they have to look for new names that they can recruit of course at prices that are not too expensive so that they can still make a profit from selling players.
For now, Erik Ten Hag seems to have gained the trust of Mancheter United, so I think he will stay longer to manage this team. But I hope he can provide something even better in the future. because at the moment I am not very satisfied with the performance he is giving with Manchester United. In my opinion, there is still a lot that needs to be improved about this team because it still does a lot of unnecessary things, both from the player, coach and management side. They will rediscover their identity, if Manchester United can manage a little better.
656  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: March 15, 2024, 03:14:56 PM
but if we look at Cadiz's last match, he was able to beat Atletico Madrid with a score of 2-0, of course it will make us think about which team we will bet on because a team that is ranked 18th can beat a team that is ranked 4th, which is very extraordinary and I too Very impressed with Juanmi, he performed well against Atletico Madrid, scoring 2 goals. So what do you all think about this match, are we going to bet on Real Sociedad or bet on Cadiz winning? I think the match between Cadiz and Real Sociedad will be an exciting match and of course those who will bet will have difficulty on which team we will bet on. I think we should discuss who will be the winner between Real Sociedad and Cadiz.
Cadiz is already at the edge of uncertainty and next season they really seem to be dropping to the second tier of the Spanish League. That's even if Sociedad is able to control the match, because in their last 3 matches in La Liga, Sociedad performed poorly and only won once. So this match is not very interesting, in my opinion, even if Sociedad is able to get 3 points, it still won't change anything in the standings table. Bilbao remains strong maintaining a 10 point difference.

This season Barcelona suffered three defeats and what is interesting about that fact is that all the defeats occurred in home matches so I quite agree that it is very likely that this match will end in a draw although it does not rule out the possibility that Barcelona will win it, because the home team winning looks quite difficult to happen.

In their last four meetings, Barcelona has been more successful than Atletico Madrid because Barca can win home and away matches, both teams are in good momentum because of their success in the UCL match, but fatigue could hit them because the midweek match is quite emotionally draining, especially for Atletico Madrid because had to play a tiring match against Inter Milan which had to be resolved through a penalty shootout.
As long as Barcelona is able to anticipate the pressing of Atletico Madrid's game, maybe a draw is quite deserved. But because Atletico Madrid needs 3 points if they want the top 4 position to be safe from being chased by Bilbao, they need to play aggressively like they did. Bilbao is clearly waiting for Atletico Madrid to lose because that way they can little by little catch up on the points they are behind. For Bilbao playing against Alaves is a big opportunity and will be targeting 3 points, it is not too difficult because Alaves is in a much more unstable condition.

Arsenal's nightmare is back!  Grin  After seeing this draw between them and Bayern Munich their last matchup in the Champions League came to my mind. A total defeat by 10-2... Arsenal got really embarrassing results back then. Of course there are big differences between Arsenal in 2017 and the one in this year.  Smiley  This time I expect a much closer fight considering Bayern Munich's not being the usual as well.

We have an early finale between Manchester City and Real Madrid as well. I was really hoping to see these teams competing against each other in the finale. But here we are.   Sad  It is better to enjoy this huge matchup from now on. My favourite is the Manchester side but I wouldn't be shocked to see Real Madrid getting past them either.
Can Arsenal break the curse this season because as usual, Tomas Muller is very enthusiastic about welcoming his friend Kai Havertz, on April 9. This will be the most exciting match and this time perhaps Arsenal need to forget the history of their meetings so they can calm down a bit and not be a scary image. Bayern Munich squad is different so expecting a big score will not happen. At least Arsenal can provide resistance because with Bayern Munich situation under Tuchel, Arteta and his troops can still take advantage of it a little.

I actually don't want Madrid to experience the same thing as last season, but I also can't expect much if you look at the Man City squad which is still stronger. Madrid has young players but still hopes that Kross and Modric can still help Madrid face Man City. Bellingham must also be sure to be ready because it is not easy to beat the current Man City squad.

Due to these winnings, I might stay playing on this website a little longer. I feel like my luck hasn't run out yet.

winning will always bring gamblers to come again to play the next day. sometimes even losing gamblers also have the same feeling. not because they think their luck is still there, but they think when their luck will come.
you get some good wins for you, that's your luck that maybe other people won't get. When there are gamblers who win from the casino, there will always be other gamblers who experience losses in the game.
That's right, because the end of gambling can both make us want to come back to gambling again, with the final result of losing or winning it will make gamblers addicted. When experiencing victory, it is clearly very susceptible to addiction, because the feeling of wanting to win more must exist, and when it ends in defeat it will make them curious, because when they win, they will be addicted and lose, they will be curious.
It's true what you say, when we get a win but that's not obtained by others, because the luck of each person is certainly different, in gambling when there are losers then there are winners and vice versa. In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you'll be able to make use of it as best as you can, don't waste it just like that, be a smart gambler by always utilizing the winnings that you've got.

And I think as parents, they know more about the risks and negative impacts of gambling, knowing exactly the consequences of irresponsible gambling. And only stupid parents let their children get caught up in bad behavior.

But of course, we as parents are also busy with various activities so it is impossible for us to monitor our children's activities and behavior throughout the day. However, it seems that it is quite important for us to be able to spend a little of our time just to provide learning, love, attention and also encouragement to our sons and daughters. And quite a few parents behave unwisely, by immediately punishing their sons and daughters for their bad behavior. This could cause disharmony in the household and foster feelings of hatred in a child towards his parents. So it would be good when we punish something, we can first see what is the root of the problem or the indicators that cause our child to behave that way. Because it could be that they gamble because of a lack of attention and love from their parents, so they try to look for other activities that can make them feel happy.
Of course, good parents must provide the best education and direction for their children, because they definitely want their children to be successful in the future, not trapped in harmful things like gambling. True what you say, only stupid parents let their children get stuck in a cycle that harms their children, although there are some parents who sometimes don't care about their children but it seems strange if they don't want their children to succeed in the future at all. I agree with you, parents must also have their own activities which must be done such as working to make ends meet, and of course with that we cannot fully supervise our children's activities.
True what you say, there are also parents who are not wise in their behavior or in educating children, they tend to provide education that is too harsh so that it actually has a bad impact on their own children. Parents' education certainly has an influence on their children, too hard is also not good. I agree with you that they might do bad things because of the lack of attention from their parents, because not a few children also lack attention and affection from their parents.

Imagine that we are experts at gambling which requires skills such as poker, but no one knows our opponent, even if he doesn't have the skills, but if he is lucky then the one who can win is our opponent, not us.

This is very true, things can happen this way, and many people currently seek to play poker because they trust a lot in their strategies and their experience, even so, you can know a lot, but if luck is not with you, a good game It will not bear fruit, of course other types of Strategies come into play, such as betting large amounts of money to make other players afraid and show that they have a great hand, and that can work, of course, it is a Reckless strategy but it can be applied , because you can lose a lot of money, and there are also players who have a lot of money and don't mind losing, sometimes the game of poker can be very open to this, so sometimes without having a good hand it can generate big wins.

These types of strategies Exist and can generate many profits but also significant losses, but poker is open to all these possibilities.

That part is where you go deeper into poker, it is because the poker player can run out of strategies, but with some cunning and intelligence you can recover a lot, and if you apply these types of strategies well you can make some money when everything was lost.

I have seen on the forum that there are many poker fans, maybe they already have their own strategies already perfected and they just needed a lot of experience to be able to master them, which means that luck or the luck factor Decreases.
Sometimes they do have their own strategy and are sure they can get a win with the strategy they use, but unfortunately victory certainly cannot be obtained that easily. Even if they spend money to pay for a strategy that is said to be able to get a win but it would be ridiculous if someone sold the strategy, because I myself of course if I have a strategy that can definitely get a win I will not share it even if someone pays it. So I think it's ridiculous if there are people who sell strategies and if someone buys it maybe he is one of the stupid people.

The profits in gambling in my opinion cannot be obtained consistently, even if we have a solid strategy but I am sure we cannot get consistent profits. If the profit can be obtained consistently then this can be said to be a job that can generate income or profit with certainty, but unfortunately it is not like that.
