Manchester City still needs Haaland if they really want to make it far in this league and shouldn’t just depend on Foden alone since he can also be utilized in the front to score more goals for the team.
If you have been following Manchester City lineup since Haaland's recovery from injury this year you would have probably noticed that Pep Guardiola has been starting Foden and Haaland in most matches. He makes sure to play both of them in Manchester City's important games.
Pep Guardiola prefers to start either Foden or Haaland alone in lower-level matches, keeping Kelvin Bruyne off the field for a bigger match. Let the other team players of Manchester City handle the match for the win, he will only come in to play when the match appears to be tough for them to win.
This tactic is also now one of the factors that Pep Guardiola can manipulate the opponent's concentration, because what we know last season was almost Haaland who was Pep focus in scoring goal after goal. Now that Foden is increasingly on fire, Man City has more big opportunities because both Foden and Haaland can be relied on on the front lines. When the opponent focuses on Haaland movements, Foden position is able to move freely and vice versa. So this time anyone who will face Man City must be ready to guard 2 Man City strikers who are very difficult to intercept.


Tomorrow Man United will start the weekend against Everton. Please note, when Man United play on Sunday nights, they always experience bad luck, you can see some of the matches they have played. Hopefully this time is different, but personally I'm still not completely sure because even though Everton is below Man United, that's not the benchmark. After successfully saving themselves from the relegation zone, Everton deserves to continue winning 3 points. Apart from that, Man United really needs additional points because they are still stagnant and cannot catch up with Tottenham's points. Maybe a bad result if they lose to Everton could be a big problem because it will make it easier for West Ham to attract them to switch positions.

if you are one of those people who can't stop and want to keep gambling to chase losses. It's better if you invite a companion when gambling. not for playing together, but just as a reminder not to overdo it.
So like this, when you have experienced quite a lot of losses and have exceeded your loss limit, you can tell your friends to remind you to stop immediately. That way you can still control your game and not keep chasing defeat which will later become a downturn
That makes sense, it can be done if we can't stop gambling when we gamble, whether we lose or win. Of course inviting friends as a reminder to stop gambling is good, because to avoid excessive gambling such as when you win, of course what you have to do is smart action, namely leaving the casino to enjoy the winnings you have obtained, but there are still many gamblers. who cannot do this because the temptation and attraction of gambling that leads us to get big wins is so strong that many gamblers still often cannot stop gambling.
It's the same thing as when you lose, there are gamblers who can't control themselves when they lose, when they lose, most of the gamblers deposit their money back to chase the win, even though that kind of action is not recommended, it's also a thought that chases the win. or recovering the loss we should not think about. because that will only get us into trouble. It is necessary to stop gambling when it becomes excessive, because otherwise losses or other big problems will definitely occur.

There are gamblers in almost all societies, and all of us have met a gambling addict at least once in our life. I'm sure we all found them in bad shape on most levels. The problem sometimes get more sophisticaed when about the inability to help these cases, especially in areas where there is not sufficient education about them. Gambling addicts suffer from social stigma and are rarely helped.

They are often family and close friends or in treatment centers specializing in this type of disease. I really wish I could obtain data on the cases of recovery from addiction that have been recorded.
These online discussions can raise awareness for players to gamble wisely and for those around them who suffer from excessive gambling addiction. It is a behavioral addiction and one of the most dangerous diseases.
It is clear, with the current existence of online casino gambling, of course many young people are familiar with gambling and they even gamble in their lives. I'm sure that in all countries there are young people who are addicted to gambling, and if we venture out of town and find a group of young people and we ask about online casino gambling, I think at least one of them will definitely know about it or be familiar with it. if they are addicted at a young age of course it will create problems for their future, it is possible that they will have socialization problems.
Yes, that's true, with online discussions like this I also hope to make them aware so they don't gamble excessively which can be detrimental to themselves, including their future. Many people who have a bad view of gambling are due to the actions of the gamblers themselves who gamble beyond their reasonable limits. They hope to get a big win using the amount of money they bet. However, they tend not to see the risks and impacts of excessive gambling.

It's commonly acknowledged that newer casinos often employ deceptive tactics to lure in players with flashy promotions and bonuses, which can be enticing but risky. Instead of solely relying on bonuses or spending time sifting through lengthy TOS documents, It's better to focus on the reputation of the casino itself. Established and reputable casinos have a track record of reliability and consistency when it comes to handling deposits and withdrawals. By sticking with well-known and trusted casinos, players can significantly reduce their risk of being scammed.

Reputable casinos typically prioritize transparency and adhere to strict regulations, which provide players with greater assurance of fair play and security. They invest in robust security measures to protect sensitive information and ensure fair gaming practices. This level of accountability and trustworthiness is often lacking in newer or less reputable establishments. It's surely better to prioritize trusted casinos with a proven track record of integrity.

Currently, there are many online casinos that can be targeted for gambling and of course holding bonuses or promotions is one trick to attract the interest of many people so that they deposit money and gamble because that is the goal of the casino where profits will be obtained by them. gambling and losing. It's true what you said, perhaps by choosing a well-known casino you can avoid fraud or other undesirable things.
It is true that every casino should guarantee the safety of every gambler because that is also a value that determines the reputation of their own casino. With so many online casinos nowadays, we can gamble with casinos that we think are trustworthy casinos. It's possible that we have friends who like to gamble and they can give us advice on casinos that they think are trustworthy casinos. That could be true, but The recommended casino can guarantee that the win will not be the same as what our friend got.

I don't know what this has to do with sports betting but yeah sports especially in high pressure situations brings the worst out in people.  In the United States some cities are worse than others, but generally speaking when going to a visiting stadium it's not recommended to show your colors and gloat or talk smack when you are the minority there. 
For fanatical supporters, they have a different way of supporting than ordinary supporters, they will not even hesitate to commit criminal acts if they meet opposing supporters. In my country this also happens very often, especially if it is two teams that have a very high rivalry, this will be balanced by the rivalry of the supporters too. This is indeed a very unfortunate thing to happen in football, with this bad incident indirectly tarnishing the good name of the sport itself.
Interestingly, this seems to be a tradition passed down from generation to generation, even though it has claimed many victims, they will continue to do it. There are lots of similar cases, although perhaps now bad incidents have decreased more than in the past. However, even though it is decreasing, it cannot be a justification for what a few people do. I would call this an individual, because those who act like this are a small part of the existing supporters. In fact, they are the ones who harm other supporters or even harm the team they like.
726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 08, 2024, 07:23:05 AM
Before PSG dominating become the most winner in Ligue 1 there are has Lyon with their impressive performance and ever won six consecutives Ligue 1 trophy with their players Juninho. After PSG acquisition make Ligue 1 easily dominance by one club only and the most historical teams such as Lyon or Marseille get difficulty not only to pressure PSG for winning domestic league but also not easy for finishing on Champion League spot position.
Before PSG was acquired, competition in Ligue 1 was quite competitive even though Lyon had won several times in Ligue 1. But that still provided opportunities for other teams to become champions. Teams like Marseille, Lille and Monaco have become very competitive. Lyon doesn't really dominate the league with a very large comparison of strength and player quality. This is different from PSG where they have a squad that has a very different market price compared to other teams in Ligue 1.
Financial strength was one of the factors why in the end Paris Saint Germain became superior in Ligue 1, they had more freedom to do what they wanted and that cannot be denied as the reason why many teams in Ligue 1 were unable to follow what Paris Saint Germain did. One way to make Ligue 1 even more competitive is for someone who has a lot of money to acquire another team, or Paris Saint Germain goes bankrupt.
It feels quite monotonous when you see the competition taking place in Ligue 1, yes, that's because there is nothing to expect from other teams. Even if there is, they can only do it at the beginning and then everything returns to normal. This keeps repeating itself almost every season. Last season, for example, Lens were good at the start of the season, but then they also declined. This season, Nice was also good only at the start of the season, but after that they no longer showed any interesting competition. Now Paris Saint Germain is far ahead so there is very little chance of being caught.

Still, this process has to be carried out because we all know that Benzema is a Madrid legend and his presence brings peace of mind, especially when it comes to goals, but Madrid must also realize that they can't continue to rely on Benzema forever because it's a bad situation to continue to do so.

Instead of continuing to think that Benzema is everything they need to address this problem now. Expecting Benzema to stay in the squad is not possible because age is an inevitable situation, so instead of thinking about Benzema they should look for other options.
It was a brave move by Ancelotti not to look for a replacement striker when Benzema left but in the end it was worth it with Jude in the squad and now they just need to find a new talented striker to complement Madrid's already good squad.
To be honest, Madrid has really performed solidly this season. They don't have a pure striker but currently they are leading the league and are one of the candidates to win the Champions League. This means they have a very solid squad composition in every line. Even though they only got a 2-1 win over Leipzig in the Champions League and draws in the last few games in the League, but in the end they will still win the game. I'm sure Madrid will win La Liga this season even without a pure striker. And if Mbappe joins Real Madrid next season then I am sure Real Madrid will be one of the strongest teams and will win the title again next season.
A team cannot always rely on just one player, even though it has a big influence on the team, sooner or later that player will leave too. Benzema is a player who is a mainstay on Real Madrid's front line, his presence really provides something on the front line, he can be a player who breaks the deadlock with the goals he can create. but he is also getting older too and I don't think he will last long as a player and will decide to retire. Real Madrid's decision was tough, because when they lost Benzema they didn't have a replacement who could replace his role on the front line. So it was a tough decision and also a brave one.
But so far it has gone normally, because even though they don't have a striker who is hungry for goals, they still have other players who can provide new colors, like Jude Bellingham for example. But of course they have to quickly find players they can rely on on the front lines, because otherwise it would be a big risk for them. There is still time for them to do it and I hope they can get the players they want as soon as possible.
728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 08, 2024, 06:37:06 AM
It looks like Roma is lucky to have a new coach like De Rossi. Just look at how Roma destroyed their opponents in the Europa League with a fairly large score of 4-0. And the opponents they face are not easy opponents either. Because Brighton is one of the clubs that is quite respected in the Premier League, even though this season Brighton has experienced a decline in performance. But still scoring 4 goals against Brighton is not an easy thing. But I'm also not surprised by AS Roma's win. Because they are also the hosts of the match. It's just that the number of goals scored far exceeded my expectations. Brighton seems to be having a bad season this time. This is different from their performance last season which was much more reliable.
Yes I also think Roma did really well by beating Brighton 4-0 in the Europa League. De Rossi seems to be doing a good job as the new coach. But we should remember that the game was played at Roma home stadium which might have helped them may be. By the way their performance was also good. Brighton hasn't been doing well this season so the result wasn't a big surprise. I'm curious to see how Roma will do in their upcoming games with De Rossi  coaching.
So far De Rossi has shown good progress since he became coach of AS Roma, there is nothing special about what he has shown, but slowly he is able to show a good game and that prioritizes teamwork, for me this is something that is important good for a team because the main thing you must have is good teamwork. If I'm not mistaken, they have only lost once while being managed by De Rossi and that was against Inter Milan, I can say that is a natural thing because the team that beat them is the best team currently in Serie A.
He is showing good things, but I still want to see whether he will be able to consistently maintain his performance with AS Roma, or whether this is only happening at the beginning. I don't mean to underestimate him, but learning from experience I have seen many coaches who were only good at the beginning but then they became coaches who couldn't be any better after gaining more trust from management. He has to prove that he is not only good at the start, but he can bring AS Roma to an even better level of consistency.
729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: March 07, 2024, 07:24:03 PM
It is true that being patient in gambling is not something that is easy for every gambler to do, especially if we are too ambitious to be able to win the bet in gambling, of course we will continue to gamble with greed which results in us experiencing big losses in gambling, but if we can control ourselves in betting Of course we will be able to gamble well and we won't lose much when gambling.
If we can have limits when betting, of course this will be very good because if we continue to use our money to gamble and if we lose, this will really be very detrimental to ourselves.
Yes, that's the truth, because the temptation of gambling is so strong that many people fall into it to do excessive gambling. Most gamblers tend to think only about profitable wins, they do not think about the fact of defeat that will more certainly occur. In the absence of good thinking they take actions that are not considered first because they are already lured by victory so they gamble recklessly and cannot be patient. Ignoring risks and being too ambitious in gambling traps us. Until like that with the occurrence of large losses is only natural.
With the wrong thinking it will trigger greed, as you said. Gambling that is done because of the encouragement of greed will only make everything messy, a sense of dissatisfaction will occur when getting a win. Because the greed that exists can make everything disappear like the victory that has been obtained. It's true what you said, if we can control ourselves then no big losses will occur. Therefore, we must have certain limits in gambling to avoid losses or other things that are not good for ourselves.
730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: March 07, 2024, 06:33:22 PM
Encourage the young ones to look for good jobs and stop depending and placing hopes on gambling. Everyday, we wake up to new opportunities in the system, I know it's not easy but we keep the grind alive and going. We're here to have fun in the gambling system and not dwell on it like some kind of day to day job. We have profession that pays good money, that's what we used for our feeding and paying of bills, more over providing for our needs and wants. Atleast it foots all in and then turn to gambling for fun and generating extra changes. Gambling every day is certainly not a right decision because it comes with its own stress.
I agree with you, young people should have very positive activities, such as having a job because it is certainly for their own good. By having a job, there will be income earned and they can buy what they want with the money earned from their own sweat. Most young people today are stuck in their comfort zone that does not produce positive things, they are reluctant to step forward even if it is for their own good. They only rely and hope on gambling. When they have a little money they only think about doubling it in gambling hoping to get a big win in every gambling they do.
The good thing is like that, doing gambling with certain limits, not doing it beyond normal limits such as considering it as a job. Of course, the factor that will often occur is defeat and gambling must use money, therefore because of the defeat factor that cannot be avoided, it is likely that it will only drain finances. While we live of course need money to survive, as you said, to eat or pay bills or needs that must be prioritized, but by making gambling a job or becoming addicted to it, finances will only be used up with gambling.

I still believe that this halving cycle will be different from the previous halving phenomenon. Big spikes can still be felt in the market, plus the remaining mined Bitcoins are running low, which can create aggressive demand. Having a new ATH created and seeing some whales withdrawing Bitcoin from exchanges to their wallets shows that this will be an important opportunity for them not to hand over the remaining Bitcoin to large institutions. Most of the Bitcoin entries and exits are from Coinbase, based on the reference I saw from @whale_alert, perhaps the intention is clear that behind the Bitcoin entries and exits is due to the increasing demand from Bitcoin ETFs.

I don't know if Salah will play for the Europa League or EPL against Manchester City? This depends on Klopp because if he is back in training then Salah may be ready to play.

Sparta Prague is not an equal opponent, but playing at home will always be different, we saw how Liverpool fielded a young squad before that played very nicely and impressed, maybe Klopp will do the same strategy.

What becomes a lot of problems this week Liverpool will face the rival with a thin point difference even a draw can change their position in the EPL because Arsenal will be ready to overtake to the top if they win, this is what Liverpool don't want because they will keep the points so as not to be displaced.
Jurgen Klopp will not take a big risk to field his important players in the match against Sparta Prague. Because the most important match is waiting ahead with bigger stakes. Man City will use main players with a total attacking style so Liverpool needs a squad with balanced opposition. I'm sure Jurgen Klopp will rotate several players to face Sparta Prague and prepare Mo Salah to face Man City. However until now there has been no clear confirmation from the Red regarding whether Mo Salah will play or not. His physical condition is in a very important phase for complete recovery.
733  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 07, 2024, 12:24:42 PM
Hopefully Klopp departure can be a lesson for Liverpool officials to pay attention to the team's needs and support the new coach efforts to maintain stable performance. Reflecting on Man United monotonous financial support, this club has lost its direction and style of play. One more thing, don't compare it to Chelsea because this club is financially supportive but the player options chosen are messy.
The chance for Liverpool to become a mediocre team is very high because no one is ready with the Liverpool's new era, few players even choose to leave if the other teams willing to buy out from Liverpool.

Manchester United is going to broke, they can't do anything except sell the team to the rich.

Chelsea is sadly managed by a stupid manager, if not they can use the money to buy all star players.
It's quite surprising to put Liverpool in the mediocre team category. Because as far as I know, that term is more suitable for a team that is bad enough that it has never even touched a trophy at all. So it is not right if Liverpool is called a mediocre team, there are many factors in its reputation and its existence in the EPL is no longer in doubt.

Agree to say that if Man United were owned by very rich people who were loyal to the club's interests, it would be better than now. The problem is that the 25% shares that Sir Jim got are still not enough, because Glazer does not intend to give them up completely.

Chelsea, as you said, are not properly managed and are wasting money by buying low quality players.
734  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: March 07, 2024, 11:55:45 AM
The same mistake I have repeated is to continue gambling to round up my winnings. It has happened multiple times. Let's say I won 52 dollars from a game, and I wanted to round up this figure to 60 dollars and continue to gamble even though my initial target was to reach 50 dollars. Sometimes, I wasn't able to round up the figure, and I lost the entire amount.

This happened with me a couple of times and I guess I have promised to myself that I won't continue gamble if I reach a certain limit. But, when I start another session, I eventually made same mistake again. We know that we should stop doing that, but yet we do these stupid mistakes.
I think what you are experiencing can be said to be greed controlling you, the reason is that it is clear that at the beginning you targeted a win of $50 but you wanted to win even more to $60 and instead of $60 you got instead you had to lose $50 that was already in your hands at that time, if you could stop it then you could enjoy your $50 win. And the interesting thing is that you do the same thing every time you play, promising not to repeat it again and the next time you make the same mistake.
I guess you're not the only one who has experienced this, I have too. Indeed, the urge to get a bigger win will always be there when we already hold a win. If we can't control it and follow all the urges that come to us then it will turn into a loss that we will feel. I'm sure there's also a sense of regret as to why we didn't stop, but everything has already happened and that regret won't bring back our previous winnings. What we can do is not to do it again next time. We should be able to use it as a valuable lesson, but I can't deny that it is a difficult thing to do.

Real Madrid were really in trouble yesterday.  Sad  Because their way of play was really problematic. They were quite weak at defending against Leipzig in the first place. They were just lucky that Leipzig wasted many of them so generously. I can't even imagine the potential result if they faced a much more capable opponent.  Shocked

The interesting part is Real Madrid played worse than the time they didn't have Bellingham. You know that he was injured in the time of the first leg but they still won that match. I can't say their game was impressive there either though.  Tongue  If they continue to play the same I won't be very positive about their title chance.
Yes, they were lucky because Leipzig could not take advantage of the opportunities they had so they could only draw and that was not enough to make Leipzig eliminate Real Madrid because they lost the previous match. I'm actually not surprised when Real Madrid play mediocre like this, I wouldn't say they play badly just that they can't play very well like they showed before. Apart from that, Leipzig are also in a state of full motivation to be able to beat Real Madrid, that's what makes them play better than Real Madrid.
I see Leipzig not thinking about anything in this match, all they think about is playing loose and hoping they can turn things around. But they are not that strong to be able to turn things around. The draw is enough to put Real Madrid in the quarterfinals.
After completing this round of 16, we will be taken to a more thrilling round, where the quarter-finals are filled with the 8 best teams in the Champions League this season. The task for each team will be even harder because the level of opponents they face is also getting stronger.

pretty good results for atlanta when competing away to its homebase sporting lisbon atlanta was able to hold the host sporting lisbon draw 1-1 this will certainly make it easier for atlanta to advance to the next round. because in the second leg later atlanta will act as host.
Being able to draw at home does not mean that it is safe enough for Atalanta to advance to the next round unless Atalanta can win at home in the second leg. Because Sporting Lisbon is also a team that Atalanta needs to take into account in the Europa League this season because this team often gives unexpected surprises in the Europa League so Atalanta doesn't have to feel happy if they still can't win the second leg for the Europa League this season.
This result is good for Atalanta because in the second leg they will play as hosts, and that works in their favor. In terms of play, both teams have a game that is not much different, and even Atalanta can play better in this match, this is a good capital for them in the second leg later. Actually at the beginning I also predicted the match would end with a draw, but I didn't have that much courage to bet on this match, yes maybe I was unlucky because I didn't dare to bet on the predictions I made myself.
As the host, Sporting should be able to take advantage of this match better to win the match, but in fact they are unable to do that. Although they were able to take a quick lead in the 17th minute, they could not maintain their lead even until the end of the first half, because before the first half ended Atalanta could equalize. Sporting must prepare for the second leg, at least they must try hard to play better and try everything to beat Atalanta, maybe they can force a draw and force a step to the penalty round.

This season everything is going normally for Leverkusen, they are fairly smooth in going through this season without losing once. 10 points is the gap between them and second-placed Bayern Munich now, with a gap like that I can say it's a comfortable distance for Leverkusen. But they should not be too complacent with their current points gap, because if they are too complacent then it will make them unfocused in the match, and when they are not focused then maybe they will receive their first defeat this season.
Xabi must continue to warn his players that their work is not done before they can seal the title. Therefore, Xabi must be strict with the players in the squad. Now I see Xabi is so respected by the players, even though he is still a new coach, but he managed to apply high discipline, that's what I think is one of the things that makes his players have high respect for Xabi Alonso. And indeed as a coach must have that authority.

Sure, I can agree with you about the issue on whether someone having problems with gambling would be actually willing to admits those problems in order to get help, but that is why enforced committed is/was a thing in the most of developed countries in the past decades, you know. The families of the mentally sick people or people with addictions could sign some papers for them to get committed even if they did not admit they were in need of those treatments. It may sound cruel to many people, but thanks to it thousands of patients got the help they needed (at least those who were so supposed to consume medication).
For instance, I have a friend whose brother suffers from squizophrenia and when he does not want to take his medication and starts to act out, they cannot get him committed because it would take him to agree on it. To me it does not make sense to need to permission of someone in such irrational state in order to be able to help him to recover.
It may be the same with gambling addicts.

Unpopular opinion, but that is what I currently think of the approach of psychiatric institutions.  Sad
In my opinion, those who are addicted will find it difficult to admit their mistakes, because of course they are also addicted, I think they would be embarrassed if other people found out, now there are lots of gamblers everywhere and of course there are definitely those who are truly addicted to gambling. and if asked, I don't think he would answer that he was addicted to gambling. Of course, someone who is addicted to gambling will experience changes in their thoughts which may lead them to take unreasonable actions. and if it's really serious they can't accept the pressure caused by their own actions, the pressure they feel can make them stressed so that it can make them experience mental disorders which maybe at that time they need someone who is an expert in their field, taking drugs which may be a necessity for them to be able to recover from their addiction, some families may be embarrassed but as far as I know the family will definitely support whatever they do as long as it leads to goodness, of course to be able to recover from addiction you have to go through many things which are even hard to bear. themselves, so the role of the family is also important in this matter.

Making gambling hobby is actually not that bad if can control yourself and be able to maintain safety so that bad things or risks from gambling can be minimized.
Gambling is an activity that can spend any amount of money in short time and this is the main reason gamblers must have their respective limitations.
Gambling too often for long time or carrying out gambling activities with high intensity is the right of every gambler and as long as they have money it is not problem, but there will always be risks and consequences that may not necessarily be accepted well.
Losing money may still be acceptable even though it is full of regret and of course money can still be sought, but if become an addict then this is the worst impact because it is difficult to recover and gambling addicts will experience psychological problems.
It is clear that the impact that will be received is very bad if gamble with high intensity and more often this is something that all gamblers must be aware of.

You are right, it would be much better to gamble when you have free time or just on holidays and of course this will only make gambling an activity that is truly for fun.
Talking about hobbies definitely involves money, and indeed if you make gambling a hobby then that's not a problem as long as we have good self-control regarding limiting money and time, if we can limit the money we spend on gambling it might be fine, as long as we can balance our finances well, where we can divide our finances between needs and hobbies, maybe that won't be a problem, it's just that the problem here is about our perception of gambling, and also the home advantage which of course will always be the case if it's gambling. as a hobby, you have to be prepared to lose money.
Indeed, that is the right of every individual, but of course they will not accept it if they keep losing and losing. In my opinion, losing frequently at gambling can also create or trigger big problems such as addiction. That's true, gambling is better done in your spare time, because it's better if gambling is done just for entertainment, nothing more than that. because of course if it is more than that then big losses can occur and even have other bad impacts too.

With learning self-control, a gambler will not trying to break his control and limitations because he knows that can impacts to his finance. He will not spend too much money just playing gambling as he doesn't want to see many losses because he only want to having fun by playing gambling. He will hold himself by his limitations to prevents the losses and anticipating the risk becomes bigger. He will thinks to use his money to fill needs first and will allocate some money for gambling so he doesn't use much money for playing gambling. He will always try to prevent himself from changing his behavior before and after playing gambling because he knows that playing gambling doesn't have to be too serious.
I see you always say self-control, my question is, do you do that?
I agree with you that we should be able to have good self-control with the gambling we do, because in my opinion gambling can damage our thinking, where our thinking can change with the gambling we do, if we misinterpret gambling, maybe the impact will make us change our attitude. , maybe we can gamble excessively by spending a lot of money just for gambling where the winnings are not clear.
However, in my opinion, not all gamblers have strong self-control, because gambling itself has strong temptations, in fact I think someone who gambles with good self-control can become annoyed if they always lose. Having self-control is not easy, so if we gamble we should be able to exercise good self-control so that we don't spend too much money. Of course, as you said, we have needs that must be met.
