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

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

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

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

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

Depends on what they want to achieve.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Addressing gambling addiction affordably is crucial. Online forums and community groups offer accessible support, while low-cost counseling services and helplines provide assistance. Educational campaigns about responsible gambling raise awareness inexpensively. Implementing self-exclusion programs at casinos and online platforms allows voluntary access restriction. Combining these affordable strategies creates a supportive environment without significant financial burdens.

wow, I didn't know that
quite interesting
as some say, the house always win, but I like these movies and stories of people who can find an edge and win big over the house too, be it by luck or by finding an edge...

Short and precise but it's true, if you win a lot is celebrating with you but when you lose, you'll find yourself alone, and most of the time you are
really putting blame to someone, unlike when you win where most of the time you always wanted to take the credit.

It's always the sentiment where in gambling it's not that easy journey, most of the time you will lose a lot and you will find someone to be blame
for such mistake that you did, instead of keeping it by yourself and look for a better way to accept that mistake and move forward.

If he is disqualified from running, then he has two options - either support one of his proxies like Ivanka Trump, or kick start yet another resurrection. The second option is quite risky for him, so in all probability he will settle for the first option. But the issue is that GOP establishment may not support Trump's choice. They would rather go for Nikki Haley or Ron DeSantis. And Haley's campaign has so far attracted some of the largest GOP donors, such as Stanley Druckenmiller and Ken Langone. What concerns me is that Democrat leaning donors such as Reid Hoffman have started funding Haley's campaign, just in order to block Trump from getting GOP nomination.

If I could I would. The backend software runs Exahashes worth of hashrate, and finds BTC blocks everyday. Of course you have to take my word for it, and I wish you didn't but I think I have built enough reputation around here that im not some bad actor. Unfortunately to be able to provide a product like this I had to make some compromises I did not want, but we weighed those to be worth being able to get a product like this out to market.

Of course the more successful this product is, the less compromises we have to make...would love to port the firmware over to cgminer and hopefully we can get there soon.

There's no fun on free or demo mode which we know that there's no way that you can lose and there's no way that you could really be able to win up money and this is why people would really be not interested and this is why its not really that shocking that people would really be that sticking into those games on which it does really give out that kind of opportunity or chance
for them to make money and this is why they would really be dealing into those games which does have that real balances. Its true that there's no fun when it comes on dealing
up with something that you cant win or something that doesnt give any value. Yes, its fun on some point but it would just simply vanish on some few rolls.

I don't really believe on being addicted forever by one use.

There's also the difference between behavioral addiction and chemical, quite different when you make something a habit than when your body could breakdown due to stop of using one substance
long term heroin users, as an example, can't simply stop using it out of nowhere otherwise they breakdown, at least I saw something about it in the past

regarding using cannabis once,
what if you use it once a week? what about alcohol? a drink a day is ok?

the subject of frequency of use varies a lot from person to person and is quite subjective as well
connects with genetics, behavior, culture, resistance to each substance or how it affects you

quite interesting.

Haley has now solidified her position as the no.2 in Republican nomination race. But what will actually happen in the unlikely scenario of Trump banned from participating in the POTUS election of 2024? Is he going to put his weight behind Haley? That is very unlikely as on previous occasions he has spoken against her. But with DeSantis and Ramaswamy trailing in the polls, Haley is the second-most probable candidate for GOP nomination, according to sportsbooks such as Stake. And many of the polls have shown Haley with a bigger lead against Biden, when compared to Trump.

The point is to be consistent because it is impossible to restrain yourself from being greedy when you win, usually people will feel dissatisfied with a small win but if you feel satisfied with a small win it indicates you are a responsible gambler so you know when to gamble and when. You have to stop gambling, of course as a gambler you have to be able to control your greed.

It's true what you say, don't expect to win millions of dollars, let alone chase it, at least winning a little is more than enough, not always the dealer will be easy to beat, everything requires extraordinary luck, always enjoy the slightest win, as long as it is consistent, of course it will feel good to be able to win, even though We know that sometimes there are more losses than wins, there's no harm in enjoying the victory and stopping playing 

The first thing is,  why should I blame another person for my gambling loses when I don't share my winnings with them, some time why some gamblers fall into this kind of troubles is because of they inability to speculate and predicts the games themselves there by relying on third party to make games selection for them,  and those in this category can easily be known,  since they're always playing the blames games all the time.

But if you see a self-grounded game spectator and speculator you will know and at some point be able to point to the fact that no game is a sure game and at some point,  no matter the accuracy of your predictions you must still rely on luck to win.

In fact the only contender to win the next copa america is Argentina aside of the internal turmoil, because Brazil is another big internal turmoil and also they are gonna miss Neymar for this cup and this team has showed they dont have the strenght of another ones.
