Does it really makes sense when so many claim that gambling at work affects job effectivity, yet nobody works non-stop at work and during working days always have moments to go make a coffee, chat with others employees, check their social media or simply surf in the internet? Why spending 15 minutes on gambling is unacceptable and will have an impact on result, but reading news for 30min while drinking morning coffee + going out every few hours for a smoke is ok and does not make affect on a result?
Reading the news, drinking coffee, smoking, and even talking with your friends is a different activity from gambling. Gambling requires focus (depending on the game that you are playing), and you need to have enough time to decide on your bets. Some gambling games are not about placing a bet randomly and just waiting for the results to come out. Unless you are playing games that are purely on luck, but sometimes even in these kinds of games you will not have a great result if you gamble at work.

Gambling requires enough time to think and decide for every bet. If you do that while you are working, it may highly affect your decision-making. You might make a rush decision due to the limited time you have on gambling. Aside from that, gambling while working is a domino effect that once you are affected by the result of your gambling activity, your work will also be affected and as a result, you will not be productive at all.
Gambling is a game of prediction, the better the prediction, the higher the chance of winning. So if someone gambles at his workplace then his full focus is not on gambling. Part of his focus will be on gambling and part on work so he will not be able to make good predictions at this time. And so his chances of losing will be very high. If someone has a habit of gambling at work, it is undoubtedly a bad habit. and such addiction destroys people in many ways. So I will call such a person as a crazy
It is impossible for someone to be gambling, and also pay attention to work. The person must either be committed to gambling or his work. Therefore, anyone that do not want distraction in carrying out his duties efficiently would never think of gambling. It is a gambler that is addicted, and cannot control his gambling activities, that will bring it down to his workplace.

Gambling at work will make you lose focus on the right thing to do at the right time, which might become a problem to you, because you will not take your job serious. This will affect the company's progress and if your Boss noticed that it was from your side, you might lose your job. Especially when he notice that gambling is what has made you not to be serious at work.

     Spain 1-0 Brazil

This is the most interesting match today, and the match is currently ongoing. In fact this match is filled with superstars, and currently Spain is in control of the game, maybe because the match is being played in Madrid. Youngsters are the ones currently in both teams. Yamal is Spain youngest player, and goak score ever since history.

Rodrigo have scored with a penalty on the 12th minutes, after Yamal was brought down inside Brazil box. It was a brilliant goal from Rodrigo. What an early goal for the host, as they started the match impressively by mounting pressure on Brazil defense.

Inter is now certain to have won the Scudetto, all that is missing is the mathematics, but it has the Scudetto sewn on its chest. There are only nine matches to go before the end of the championship and already in April it could be crowned champion of Italy. Now the focus falls on the second, third and fourth places! Where everything is still in the balance. We will certainly witness a very exciting championship finale with Milan Juventus Bologna and Roma competing for second to fourth place.

and yes, congratulations to Inter, even if we still don`t have mathematical certainty, we now have a certainty of the strength of the many points accumulated, really many!
the much talked about and criticized AC Milan are finally finishing the championship in second place, not bad.. but i think Pioli is fired anyway
Mathematically, Inter Milan chances are very close to locking in the Scudetto, the performance of Inzaghi squad is still very stable so we can conclude that they can win the Scudetto this season. The remaining matches ahead are also not too worrying, Inter Milan can take it easy in each match. There are still some troublesome matches, but I don't think Inter Milan will lose. So far Inzaghi squad has only lost once, and I believe they will maintain that record until the end of the season.

On the other hand, regarding Milan, which is currently ranked second in the standings, I think they will continue to come under pressure from Juventus. The difference in points provide opportunities for Juventus to overtake Milan again in the remaining 9 matches. Since Milan also still has a tighter match schedule, Juventus will definitely hope that Milan stumbles on the way to the end of the season. Regarding Pioli, it would be better for Milan to appoint a new coach next season, reportedly Conte will be appointed as Pioli successor.
Inter only needs 15 points to seal up their victory, and it will be impossible for Milan to fight with them. Milan still have a big pressure on them, because they would love to finish second on the table, and this is a very big task for them. The reason why I said so is that Juventus might pick form and overtake them if they drop any point.

The second position on the table is open to both Juventus and Milan, and any of this club that can become consistent in the rest 9 matches will have the higher advantage than the other to secure the second position. Inter will take their matches easy because they know that it will be a win win for them, since there is no more pressure from UCL.

Unfortunately, Manchester United's good performance came at the right time, after a dramatic win over Liverpool in the FA Cup, the competition was temporarily stopped due to the international break. Manchester United will compete again in the EPL on March 31 against Brentford. This match may be easier for Manchester United because Brentford is not a strong team in the EPL. Namun setelahnya Manchester United akan away ke markas Chelsea dan pada berikutnya Manchester United akan kembali Menjamu Liverpool di Old Trafford.

Ten Hag must make Manchester United appear consistent for the remainder of this season to secure a place in the European Zone. Manchester United still has the opportunity to finish in the top four if they are able to maintain their performance, but Aston Villa and Tottenham will also try to provide competition that will make Manchester United have to fight hard.
After the international break, everything will change again and it is possible that there will be several changes that occur, but regarding the revival or improvement in Manchester United's performance, it is not just against Liverpool in the FA Cup because in the last few matches we have also seen an increase or progress in performance. better than the Manchester United team.

The possibility of finishing in the top 4 mathematically is still there, but we also have to be realistic looking at Manchester United's current points lag, now Manchester United is 9 points behind Aston Villa who are in 4th position in the Premier League standings and also see the consistency of these two teams is quite the same, so even though Manchester United are able to be consistent until the end of the season, their percentage will still be small because Aston Villa is also likely to do the same thing.
I don't think that it is possible for Manchester united to finish fourth on the table, because it will be hard for them to achieve it. The team faced a lot of difficulties this season, and it is just recently that they have started improving in their performance but it was too late for them to secure a ticket to UCL next season, due to the few matches left, and the big difference in points of the club sitting on the fourth position.

Aston Villa may/may not qualify to the champion league if they are not consistent in their rest matches, because Tottenham is a threat to them, and also have the interest of qualifying to the champions league next season. Manchester united should will be in Europa, I think that fits them better, because they found it very difficult to win their UCL matches this season.

It is clear that soon, bitcoin would be use as reserve currency by most countries, especially countries with poor economy. I believe that after Argentina have seen the value of bitcoin that Bukele bought as the country reserve currency has increased so much in value, Javier Milie have decided to take a bold step to invest the country's funds into bitcoin.

Anything fiat currency is must depreciate in value because as time passes by, the cost of products and commodity will be on increasing due to inflation, and government will keep on printing more money to increase the inflation level, thinking that is the best idea. Bitcoin is an hedge to inflation because as fiat value depreciates overtime, bitcoin value increases overtime. This is the main reason why bitcoin investment is the one of the best investment to invest in to safe the value of your funds in future.

~snip~
I would not agree with you on this, don't get me wrong on this one, being poor should not limit anyone on gambling as long it is not considered and seen as a source of income, the choice is yours, many has gotten huge raise financially through gambling but prioritizing gambling as the mantle to escaping poverty can lead to severe consequences and hardship.
Nooo.... poor people should refrain from betting even 1 cent in gambling... the beginning of destruction is not those who consider gambling as their main income, but those who try to gamble and bring about the worst possibility, namely addiction.
I disagree with you on those bolded words. Anyone who take gambling as his main income must become an addict, because he thinks he can live on gambling for the rest of his life, which is impossible. This is because you don't want to take life serious and addiction will frustrate such person, because he will always be gambling and will say that he is hustling.

It is not possible to live on false hope, how will you get the money to feed your family. Infact life will be miserable with such person because in gambling, there are sometimes that we don't win for up to two weeks. Gambling is a game where luck dominates than skills, which makes it not reliable. Check out most forum members that have addiction stories to tell, or that are currently still addicted, they will tell you that they were gambling for profit.

If any gambler does not have the mindset of using gamble to double their money, he will gamble once in a while maybe at weekends alone, and when he has important thing to do, he will not give it up and gamble. Little amount of money would be assigned for gambling because losses are greater than wins.

Last season, Manchester City won over Real Madrid and went straightly to their fist Champions League title. It is their first title in history and in total Champions League titles, Manchester City can not compare to Real Madrid but in this season, they are defending their title and want to repeat success of Real Madrid. Defending a title in Champions League is very challenging task and in history, only Real Madrid succeeded so far.
Manchester City's first UEFA Champions League final was against Chelsea, and they lost to Chelsea. Last season, Manchester City was better than Real Madrid, which made Manchester City easily beat Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. Manchester City will find it difficult to win against Real Madrid in this season's UEFA Champions League because Real Madrid is more consistent than Manchester City this season.

You are correct, but when you examine both teams and conduct a thorough comparison, you will be able to conclude that they are not so far apart that one is clearly superior to the other in terms of strength and who will advance from this stage. Real Madrid and Manchester City have been identified as two of the top teams to win the title this season, but to our surprise, they must now face each other to determine who is the better team. To me, both can showcase their best in this match, and the better team will have success and will qualify for the next round of the competition, as I see them both on an even level.
I agree with you that Real Madrid and Manchester City are on the same level this season. If you look at Manchester City's recent performances in the Premier League, you will find out that if Haaland and Foden fail to score for Manchester City, they find it hard to win their match. I see this as an advantage for Real Madrid against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League competition because Real Madrid does not depend on any players to score goals.
Both team have their own weaknesses, but both teams are strong enough to fight till the end of 90mins to see who will take advantage of the other and win the match. I will not place my bet on such match, because the outcome is unpredictable for now. Maybe the match day is drawing closer, there might be a problem in one of the teams that can make the match predictable.

Real Madrid should be able to win City because they can strike from anywhere, and anybody can score the goal. Their goal scoring is not relied on only some particular players, which gives them more advantage in the match.

Whatever game that you use to gamble will always give you the same result, which is that you will always lose more than you win. Crash game is not different from dice. I think that those youths in your country who is gambling on crash game, are not doing it for profit, because if they do, they will run at big loss.

Since they have a job and what gives them income, it is good that they only gamble on crash for entertainment, so that they will not put their hope on winning big, because that is what triggers chasing of losses, and from chasing of losses they will become addicted. Addiction can lead to frustration, depression and early death.
809  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blacklisting Wallet Addresses Across Various Bitcoin Wallet Types on: March 26, 2024, 09:30:44 AM
Only a centralized platform can blacklist an address. This is because you kept your coins with a third party, giving them access to do whatever they like with your coins. But in bitcoin, you only have access to transfer funds from your wallet address to another wallet address because you are in charge of the private key to unlock your input in the blockchain.

You cannot stop coins from coming into your wallet address, because the network is decentralized and is been run by nodes. Like the posters above said, use coin control to freeze the dust attack.

When you are benched on alcohol, you will not know exactly what you are doing, because you will do things due to the control of alcohol. Most times, you will not know what you are doing and when gambling, it is the worst because you can gamble with your entire bankroll unknown to you. It is surprising to see a man like this not that worried on losing $3M on gambling and will still continue gambling.

It shows that these rich gamblers always  lose more than the poor gamblers. Imagine if a poor gambler won the amount that this man gambled with unknown to him. It means that the poor man have hit the jackpot of $3M. It is good that when we are gambling, we stay away from alcohol or whatever, will make us not be conscious of ourselves to avoid great loss that might affect our lives tomorrow.
811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Becomes of Gambling if Sport book is taken away. on: March 25, 2024, 05:07:40 PM
There will still be a way to gamble. Scratch and win is also another gambling game that one can use to gamble. If no casinos and gambling is banned in a country, I believe that country would not ban this, because they see it as try your luck. Since you can get a scratch and win tickets in shopping malls and shops. Lottery is also an option.

However, I think this will be impossible for government to ban sportbet, because football is a sport that everyone likes and have a body. People's career will be jeopardize and I don't think any government will do this when they see the negative side of it and how it will affect the citizens and the world at large. Many jobs would be lost.

I admire Arsenal's performance in the Premier League. I haven't anything to say against that. They are even the most scorer team in the league in addition to their being the leader there now.  Smiley

But we don't see the same team in the Champions League. I assume you would agree with me on that as well. We can't say their performances here so far have been very consistent. We have all seen how much they struggled against Porto. There is still a point that they can benefit from though. Bayern Munich's performance in the Champions League hasn't been amazing either. If Arsenal manage to make big difficulties for their defense then things can get really interesting.
Arsenal in the Premier League has indeed performed extraordinary, they are able to lead the standings with their good record this season. Well, in the Champions League, of course they also have to be able to perform better because at each stage the opponents they face become increasingly difficult. In the quarter-finals, Arsenal will face Bayern Munich, where Bayern Munich is the team that is quite the favorite to become champions. This match is a big challenge for Saka et al because if they succeed in beating Bayern Munich, the mentality of Arteta team will certainly be stronger to visit the Allianz Arena in the second leg.

In terms of experience, of course Bayern Munich is superior to Arsenal, but in terms of ambition, Arsenal may be the strongest this season. The first leg will be an important match that Arsenal must win because it will make them more confident when playing in the second leg.
I don't think that Arsenal is more ambitious than Bayern Munich in the Champions League, because Arsenal is have the hope of winning their domestic league EPL because they are topping the table, but Bayern does not have this opportunity, because they are second on the table, and it will be impossible for Leverkusen to drop point and lose the league for Munich.

This is what will make Bayern Munich take their Champions League matches more serious to make sure that they advance to the semifinals. Arsenal are weak when it come to UCL matches, and Bayern Munich is strong when it comes to UCL matches due to their experience. This makes me to doubt that Arsenal will be able to qualify to the semifinals. Bayern Munich are very dangerous playing at home. Bayern Munich is not Porto that they struggled with and qualify with a penalty shootout.

It is good to have big dreams in us, but we cannot achieve that, if we don't start from somewhere. Some people are waiting to ha e a big resources before they think that their dreams can come true. Forgetting that a thousand Mike's starts with one step, as long as you are focus on what you are doing and still have that zeal to achieve your dream, it is possible.

You need to take advantage of little opportunities around you to get started with something, so that from there you can plan on how to move ahead to the next level. But if you sit down fold your arms without starting something, waiting for when you will have the big resources to accomplish your goal, it might become impossible. What I mean is that if you have big dreams, start from something little and that can accelerate you to your dreams, because from the little that you are doing, you might meet someone who will help you achieve your dreams.

  I am wondering if will
bitcoin still go down to at least $50k?
No one can predict or know it bitcoin price will actually dip down to 50k.The price is now 68k as I am typing this post. It has pumped from 66k - 68k not quite long. It might be that it will be hard for us to see 50k, since bitcoin price resistance is still within the 60k range.

However, I would say that it is better, that you buy now if you have the money to buy, rather than waiting for bitcoin to dip to your target price before you buy. Delay is dangerous and if you buy at this price now, you will still make profit by next year when we might see bitcoin price above 150k. You can buy gradually bit by bit using DCA strategy to by regularly using a specific amount, so that you can buy at different price intervals. This will still give you an opportunity to buy at the dip, because waiting might make you miss out, if bitcoin price did not dip as you expected.

Milan will have a hard time against Fiorentina, but they will not lose. The league champion is now clear, but the competition with Juventus for the 2nd place continues.
My prediction is that Milan will win this game and keep the points difference with Juventus.
Fiorentina always makes it difficult for their opponents who play at home because they have more strength when playing at home, however, AC Milan will not just let defeat happen to them. AC Milan will try as much as possible to get the full three points so they can sit comfortably in their position. secondly because Juventus and AC Milan are still fighting for the runner up position. Either AC Milan or Juventus both still have the opportunity to overtake depending on their efforts to maintain consistency.
I think the favorite in this match is Milan, no matter how stubborn that Fiorentina are at home, they will not be able to stop Milan from securing three points on the match day, because Milan needs to keep winning their matches to give them higher chances of finishing the league as second on the table.

Milan is also stronger than Fiorentina is 8th position on the table with 43 points. This shows how weak they will be when they meet Milan, because Milan is stronger than them. In the last 6 matches that Fiorentina played against Milan, Fiorentina only won 2 and Milan won 4. So I still expect Milan to win this match.

But the problem now is that we are worried about Kevin De Bruyne's injury. I am sure that if De Bruyne cannot appear in the Man City vs Arsenal match then it could be a big loss for Man City. Because we know that De Bruyne is the best there who can move the ball into the attack line very smoothly and make the squad score more goals. Now the news is that De Bruyne is injured again but what I read is that it is a groin injury or something similar. I forget. But it doesn't seem to be the same injury that kept De Bruyne out for so long since the start of the season.

I hope Man City and Arsenal can play with their best squad. Because the match will not be balanced if one of the mainstay players from each team cannot play.
Manchester City has bad news ahead of Arsenal's opponents this week not only with Kyle Walker but some regulars players potential will absent for upcoming match such as Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne has withdrew from Belgium national team for FIFA friendly matches. Pep Guardiola will face problem if the three main players above will absent for several weeks later not only crucial match against Arsenal but also Manchester City has important quarter final Champion League against Real Madrid.
Its most crucial moment when closing for winning domestic league tittle but Manchester City has losses many regular players, wish most of them can recovery as soon possible regarding Manchester City keep in the premier league tittle race with Liverpool and Arsenal. If losses three points against Arsenal on next match will make difficult for Manchester City to defend their domestic league tittle.

Actually, what I really think about this Manchester city team is that they are not as efficient as they were last season, compared to this season, if efficient is the right word to use, so if most of their top players is absent due to injuries, it's really going to bite them hard because they can't replace such qualities, regardless of the debth they have in their squad.

And as for their quest for the title, I really don't think they can win it, because their are so many tough fixtures ahead of them which arsenal will be the first, and with the absence of most of their key players, I really do think they will struggle in that game, so getting a win from that game will be even more difficult with the absence of those top level players like de bruyne an co.
Manchester city chances is winning the league this season is getting slimmer, due to the injuries of their players. Injuries is what declines the performance of a club, and this was how Arsenal had injury problem on their players last season that made Manchester city to snatch the title from them. I think this is payback time for Arsenal in their next meeting with Manchester city.

Maybe this season was never meant for City to become the winner, that is why we are seeing this late hour injuries in a critical time like this. City needs to pray that De Bruyne gets back to his feet before the clash with Real Madrid, if not they are out of the champions league. What a bad moment for them, I hope Pep will be able to make sure his team doesn't drop much points.

I think Xavi still wants to be at Barcelona and the players also still want Xavi to remain their coach, but there is another thing that made in this team. Not because he doesn't like it, but he has the best way to get something more appropriate. Actually, Barcelona's performance is not bad, but management always demands the best that they want to receive. Indeed, that is a normal thing, but they also have to be able to see and adapt to their current conditions.

I heard that Barcelona also seems to have the opportunity to keep Xavi for next season, but that is a rumor that I heard and the truth has not yet been confirmed. However, if that really happens, then Xavi must ask for something that can be included in the contract, so that he does not receive something that he experienced this season. I really understand if management puts pressure when Barcelona's performance is very bad, but that's not what happens, they always force what they want, even though logically it is difficult.

Xavi says that he is not appreciated, maybe he would like to stay with the players, but it is difficult to work in such an environment. I very much doubt that Xavi will remain in the team, if he announced it officially, he will do it. But I am also confident that he will not remain without a team for long, he showed himself very well in Barcelona, and if he gets into a team with good financial opportunities, he can achieve excellent results in any other team. He did a great job at Barcelona, considering the time he joined the team.
Xavi is a good coach, but just some periods that he was faced with challenges on inconsistency, and decline in his team performance, he was criticize as an unexperienced coch and not competent enough to coach Barcelona. This made him feel bad and decided to leave the club which he made the announcement officially.

If Barcelona wants him to stay, then they need to make him happy and feel at home at all time, not only when he is victorious, and they say a lot of crap when he is facing hard time with his team. Now that he has put Barcelona back to a good form, and they have being consistent with their matches, they want him to stay. Forgetting all those crap that they said. If I was to be in Xavi shoes, I would leave the club.

When you have one or more children, you have heavy responsibilities. Sometimes you're on a tight budget. Can being a parent change our playing habits? Are losses even harder to bear when you're in charge of a family? What are your experiences in this area?
When a new member is added to the family the financial aspect of the family changes and there will definitely be some changes in the person who conducts the family. Those who are regular gamblers try to reduce the family expenses and some money in gambling but when household expenses increase, they will be constrained to make that expenditure. Moreover, it is normal for every gambler to change their situation. I saw a friend of mine who was very active in gambling but since he got married he can't put much money in gambling even if he wanted to. He cites the increase his daily expense is the main reason. And when a new child is born in a family, the consumption rate will increase a lot. As a result the gambling habits of that person will definitely change.
That's actually true. The thing is, having a child just like what happened to your friend greatly affects the family expenses. The necessary needs include different vaccines for the child, milk, and regular checkups of the infant are not cheap, and need to have enough savings to sustain this kind of expense. If the parent continues his gambling activity even in this case, it will only result in more problems, primarily financial problems.

During this scenario, it's better to prioritize the needs of the child and forget about any gambling activities. Having a child consumes a lot of money in anyone's budget for their daily needs, that's why this is the time when we need to focus on our priorities and avoid any more expenses.
Down here in my country, they say that children can make some more responsible than when he does not have any, which is true. If you see a man without a child spending with no reserve, the moment he have child a child, he limits his spending. Imagine when you receive $300 weekly, and you gamble with 5% of it which is 15%, without a child. The moment you have a child, you are to take care of him/her, and you are still receiving $300.

You will have to cut down some unnecessary expenses, so that you can focus more on the child welfare. The first that will come to your mind is to cut down your gamble budget, because taking care of the child is necessary, and if you don't gamble, nothing changes. Gambling is like throwing away money, but any money that you spend on your child is a blessing to you.

The person needs to be in rehab home, where he will be deprived from gambling for a very long time. I guess that will help him, but he needs his family to succeed in this. I haven't seen such gambler in my entire life. Is it that the losses was what made him mentally sick or something else.

Chasing losses is one of the most easiest way to loss all your funds, even become addicted and irresponsible with your gambling. When you begin to chase your loss, you'll start making decision that are not from your right sense of reasoning. You can even gamble until all your money has been exhausted just because you want the old loss back. If you gamble and experience any loss just take it as part of the experience because at first you are advise to gamble with what you can afford to loss with affecting any of your other financial activities.

It's true what you say chasing losses is basically useless, we won't get what we want, it will only complicate matters and there will be a lot of losses there and this factor is also influenced by big emotions about what happens because of expectations. not in accordance with reality and agree with you, if we have experienced defeat once or twice then take the positive side, namely from our experience that gambling results in more losses than wins, then we can use this as motivation and valuable experience so as not to lose. excessive gambling.
Chasing losses is not the ideal way to recover your loss, because it is impossible to recover them. It is only when you are lucky to gamble at the right time, that you can win and recover some of it. But if you say that you want to recover your loss by yourself, it will lead to more losses.
