801  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who should quit, and why? on: February 20, 2024, 01:02:07 PM
Hey house someone need a few clips here, don't know if a post of this exact nature has been discussed though.

In a situation where the both spouse are gamblers. Husband gambles, wife gambles, how can both of them manage the situation in terms of finance and the family affairs especially when children are now involve so that the time both spends on gambling doesn't affect family moments and affairs in general.

Would it help if  one of the couple quit for the other and if that's the case who should quit for who.

This is a fascinating scenario that raises many concerns concerning how gambling affects family dynamics. The "gambler's fallacy," which holds that one huge victory will solve all of their problems, is obviously rooted in both couples. However, in actuality, they're probably just incurring more debt.

The best course of action would be for both partners to stop gambling and get assistance. Still, it's not always possible for both partners to leave at the same time, and it's easier said than done. Then, it could make sense for the partner who is more deeply to quit, then help the other one to quite as well.

I have witnessed first hand a couple like that both spouses were not gamblers,the woman was lured into gambling as the man had promised her to buy some expensive necklace if he won big.I heard them discussing at loud voice in some point as things were not going well in that specific session.In such case the best would be to stop gambling as gambling to this couple was bringing problems to them.
In my opinion when a report is based on lies like this couple had built it usually won't last long and any couple where both partners gamble is destined to fail extremely fast.
802  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling sites including unsolicited games in betslips to ensure it fails on: February 20, 2024, 11:35:55 AM
On several occasions, a friend has complained that he often sees games he didn't include in his multi-bet slip. And those bets are of games that obviously will fail which then renders his ticket useless.

I ask, has someone else noticed this same thing, as he said he has noticed in two different betting sites. I want to know if its a global practice to expect or a thing with the betting company or that the both betting sites were a coincidence.

Remember, he has series of wins that has been repeated for a long time and he has made serious profit from both platforms without betting with up to 3% of what he has won in total.

It never happened to me in many reputable casinos I have played to see in parlay tickets games that I have not chosen to put in there.There must be a coincidence with what happened with your friend because if it is not then it means there is something very wrong with the casinos and betting platforms where your friend is playing.For me it does not mean anything how much you win in a reputable casino.
803  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The worst slot provider ever? on: February 20, 2024, 09:12:20 AM
each of them has bad and good experiences in each slot game, why do you say it is bad, because you haven't won it, but if you win you will say that it is a good slot, there is no benchmark for bad and good slots because everyone everyone has their own experiences, I don't think it's bad because maybe it's because you haven't won yet, just try to be patient and enjoy every round

Yeah, if you want to have some kind of benchmark, then you would have to look at statistics, and not a single person playing in a single machine.

The expected return of gambling is negative, that is, the more probable outcome is that you will lose money.

Having said that, it's still fun to gamble, so you could still have a good time and spend some money. And hey, you might have fun and win some extra money.

I think that if we see at statistics of all the providers I must admit the one provider who has given the max win more often is without a doubt Pragmatic Play.The other providers may have higher multipliers regarding their max win but surely won't be giving it as often as Pragmatic does.Of course I am talking in default RTP for all slot providers and not for some casinos who alter the RTP and we see something like 0 money during a bonus round in Pragmatic.
804  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Wins: Your Money Was Returned to You. on: February 20, 2024, 08:30:05 AM
There have been saying that before you win a game in gambling, you would have lost enough funds and that means you didn't win any new or extra money to yourself but the casino return part of your money which you have lost before to you. And some will still say that what about those who have not playing gamble before and they won in their first day in gambling. Well those people newly converts to the gambling system will still dash the casino company that win again because the first time win is always to lure them to the system and making them to perpetual adoration to gamble. And I don't think someone in the gambling industry has as a win win gambling history. Or you wins are bigger than the loss. And all the experiences I have in gambling I have not seen that and also those of my friends who are gamblers have not to me that they only win and there is no loss record in their gambling history. And all the ones I have seen and known, the loses are more than the wins. And when I carefully look at the argument I also accept the assertion that what you win was part of your loss. Is that true? Make your input.

I think that these type of persons exist but they fail to stop there and be happy that they got back more than they lost as when they get back such money it means that they have been playing for long enough that they continue to play.They do so with the assumption that finally luck is back on their side and they get a false sense that they are going to win even more.Unfortunately this leads to losing again what they won and this is a vicious cycle.

It looks like tonight Sporting has the best opportunity to get ahead and lead the league alone after so many weeks of sharing it with Benfica.This was a week with quite some surprise results as Benfica lost away to a weak team while Porto barely managed to get a draw and these results clearly are in favor of Sporting if they manage to win their game tonight.I think they would not miss such opportunity and easily win this game.

Tomorrow is a critical game for Manchester City against Brentford as if they fail to win this one too then it is an absolute game over for their title fight.Therefore I think they will be fully focused in this game and will win it as they are not playing in Champions League this week.Even if they were playing in Champions they have a rather easy opponent there so most likely they are going to win tomorrow game.
807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: February 19, 2024, 02:59:19 PM
In the match of PSG vs Real Sociedad team, Real Sociedad team did not score any goal. PSG team scored 2 goals to win the match. Before halftime, the players of both teams tried hard to score, but neither team could score any goal. After halftime, PSG team scored two goals.K.  Mbappe and B.  Two Barcola players scored in this match.
I was not surprised by the result between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Sociedad in the UEFA Champions League round of 16, because the match ended as I predicted. PSG will not be playing with pressure when they visit Real Sociedad, and if they can get a draw at Real Sociedad, they will qualify for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League this season.

At least, Real Sociedad this season doesn't seem to have high aggressiveness in scoring goals so ya, playing against PSG will certainly make it difficult for Real Sociedad to score goals . With that result, I don't think it would be a surprise if Real Sociedad lost without being able to reply. But ya, basically Real Sociedad doesn't have a good chance against PSG because after all, PSG position is safe in the Ligue 1 standings . So yes, with that factor certainly makes PSG able to play well in this phase, because PSG only gets opponents who do not have a level above average. But for the next phase, of course it will still not be easy for PSG to go further.

I also think that Real Sociedad has a mountain to climb in their return leg against Paris but chances are there if they don't play under pressure and be calm during the game.Paris will just wait in this game and hope for a sudden death counter attack in order to kill any hope that Real Sociedad may have.The odds are greatly in favor of Paris and greatly against Real Sociedad yet this is just a game and in a football game anything and any result may happen.

There are loads of countries in the Balkans who do not give a damn if you win a lot of money and as far as I know they don't collect taxes from online winnings and where I live now in Albania,part of the Balkans if you win a lot they don't tax you anything.I have been personally in the biggest casino here,the only one allowed by the state and 0 tax is applied to winnings,the same I suppose of many other neighboring countries.

Get your predictions and picks in now boys, we have the round of the first leg of the KO stages...  Smiley

Is PSV Eindhoven really that strong this season to beat Dortmund?  I asked somebody for a little advice and he said PSV Eindhoven could win it 2 - 1 and could even get a clean sheet.  I dunno...  At first glance I'm thinking something like 1 - 2 for Dortmund.  :/  Could even be 1 - 1?

Anyway,

I would go for that 1-2 since Dortmund as the main objective this season has to go as further as possible in the Champions League as they have no possibility to win the local Bundesliga.

Psv may be in a great performance locally but so far they have not had a real strong contender in the group stage beside Arsenal.This is the real tough test for them and I have high doubts they won't be able to even resist to a draw during this encounter.
810  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever introduced an elder gambler to online betting? on: February 19, 2024, 01:30:57 PM
And you, have you ever successfully introduced an elder person to virtual gambling?

As for me, I wouldn't engage in doing so, I will rather vested my efforts on the young adults whom I know will be able to afford making gambling with their whole energy and vibes, take risk and take responsibility for every of their performance, as for the adult ones, I will I stead get them a game to use and be playing instead of online gambling, how can they cope with the betting strategies and the financial demands involved, some can't even read the screen on a device because of old age, which makes it not a good idea to me.
It is absolutely right that adults can understand things easily, in the case of elderly people it is delayed in old age they are quite disabled, they will not be able to understand betting strategies easily. Knowing the basic rules will prevent damage and increase your enjoyment of the game. For example, if you introduce older people it will be very difficult for them to know when to hit stand split or double down. Adults can control everything more easily than older people.

I agree you would be doing them more harm than benefit by introducing them to gambling.I would not do it unless in a very specific case like I saw some neighbor of mine do it.He never used to introduce elderly people to gambling except one case of one such person living alone and getting quite a bunch of money every month from his sons living abroad.He used to get bored and since he started passing time with gambling we don't see him sad anymore,he even looks more vivid and enjoying life more now at his age.
811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you a generous gamblers on: February 19, 2024, 01:08:31 PM
If you win a lot of money, there is nothing wrong in having fun with friends and family and also giving them a portion of what you won, it is up to the individual and their personality, people who are generous with things normally, would be generous when they win ganes through gambling. Take note that there is also nothing wrong if you win games and decide not to share with too many people, you may have plans of what to do with your winnings and it is fine to make such plans with your money.
I believe those who are generous when they win in gambling are those that aren't really professional gamblers. They are doing it just for fun, and when they win, they feel like it's a blessing that they need to share. Which is qutie different to gamblers who are pro since they treat it as a business and everything should be accounted which should only be business related expenditures.
I agree professional gamblers are less generous because they choose gambling as a profession and earn money from it, so there is no need to be overly generous and spend money. When a gambler wins suddenly, it seems to them that heaven for which they generously spoil everything. But it is not right because there is no guarantee that he will win the next time so he has to spend on other things so that something good happens later. Professional gamblers know many tricks and plan very well so they spend less money on unnecessary activities.

I think I am only a generous gambler when I win in a land line casino as usually there you are surrounded by other persons and you need to tip some persons there to show you care,it would be very ugly to hit a huge win in such an environment and not tip anyone.

If I win in online casinos then it is up to my discretion if I want to make it public the big win and tip some people in the chat or to keep it for myself and not post the win,just go on with my gambling session.
812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What game will you choose for one shot big bet? on: February 19, 2024, 11:54:54 AM
Hypothetically, if you are down with 90% of your bankroll and you want to recover all your losses using your 10% bankroll with one shot bet. What do you think  is the most logical game to do this kind of bet that will give you a x10 bet on one try?

This is hypothetical question which means answering a reasoning like you should save the money, stop gambling and etc. is not allowed because this is not real. The intention of the thread is determine what type of gambling game typically being chosen by players as last resort when they are losing badly.

Answer with specific game and explain why.

I would choose Rabbit Garden slot and use IDR as a currency in order to buy the bonus with that full 10% remaining because in this game it can give you a huge x500 or x1000 during the bonus round which you have 5 levels and if you go to the 2nd level it gets multiplied x2,third level x3,4th level x5 and last level x10.This is what I would do with the final 10% balance remaining after a heavy losing session.
813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Anyone +18 Play Gamble? on: February 19, 2024, 10:51:00 AM
I don't think gambling is meant for inexperienced ones because if they try they would lose everything to gambling so foe that they have to acquire the basic knowledge of gambling first before going into gambling. And it is not all the +18 have the experience to play gamble. Having the experience to gamble is the best ideal and according |MINER| experience is needed on the games you are playing. Though the online gambling has no limitations because under age people would also pretend to be age.

I think most developed countries allow 18 years old to gamble but clearly a person has not developed 100% of their personality and as such I am totally against allowing to gamble as such young age.Gambling has a lot of dangers so it would be better if a person has grown to a certain maturity,something like being 25 years of age as minimum so even the government has no regrets for people losing a lot of money as they are at a mature age.
814  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: February 19, 2024, 10:16:10 AM

It's amazing how many abandon discipline at the sight of green. Loss seems foreign until it's faced. However, this is an opportunity to gain knowledge, not what was lost. You promote gambling as fun, not a get-rich-quick scam, but "just one more bet" enchants many. This psychological trap exploits hope and despair. Discussing counterintuitive strategies: Enjoy your losses. Yes, you heard right. Instead of enjoying losing, each loss teaches humility and reminds us that we are simply human


If the casino game was bad to the gamblers,he should stop the game.Because making money form the gambling site is not easiest one,the gamblers should improve their skills in the particular game.The rich gamblers will play the game as their entertainment,So they will deliver the risk free game in the gambling site.The more money you received from the gambling site will help the gamblers to increase their life standard in the gambling site.The more you play the more you win in the gambling site.The random game was common to the new gamblers,but the random games was avoided by the gamblers.

I don't think this is a right conclusion.It may be right in the sense that rich people play more money and are carefree in their play without any stress during the session yet I don't know rich people becoming richer with gambling,in fact quite the opposite.They are a goldmine to the casinos where they play as their fat wallet becomes slimmer and slimmer if they continue gambling.The reason is simple and that is such people usually play with much higher bets compared to common gamblers.
815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: February 19, 2024, 09:26:19 AM
Rayo Vallecano play really well at home... It's not an easy opponent for any club... Although they lose to clubs from the bottom of the standings, they can also draw with Barcelona...

~Snip
I'm sure no one expected that Real Madrid would have to share a draw with Rayo. The reason is, so far Real Madrid has always continued to win in every match. Even against a team like Girona, Belingham and friends were able to beat them. So when Real Madrid played Rayo, my mind was clear and mature, that I would bet on Real Madrid. Because my analysis and predictions have been carried out carefully from the start, Real Madrid is clearly superior to Rayo. However, it turned out that in the end Madrid was only able to play a draw. Then after swallowing a draw, there was one more thing that made Real Madrid suffer a loss as a result of this match. Namely the red card that Carvajal received in the final minutes of the match.

So with the red card received by Carvajal, next week it means that 4 Real Madrid players will not take to the field. These players viz

Belingham
Carvajal
Militao
Courtois

In this way, Real Madrid clearly lacks its mainstay front line and left back. But even so, Real Madrid shouldn't worry too much. Because next week Real Madrid will face Sevilla. Actually, I am a little hesitant to predict Real Madrid's upcoming match. But I will remain optimistic about betting on Real Madrid next week.


I don't think Real will have much problems winning against a very weak Sevilla as they did not manage to get a win this week and now if Girona wins tonight it goes just 3 points behind opening again the title fight while if Real had won yesterday they would be in a more comfortable position.Therefore I think they will try and win at all costs the game against Sevilla as any other result would complicate things further for the title fight.
816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: February 19, 2024, 08:52:23 AM
Monaco vs Toulouse

After Nice lost from Lyon i think it's good chance for Monaco to taking over 2nd place from Nice because mathematically if Monaco can gets the winning results from Toulouse then they will have 41 points which mean 2 points above to Nice and today it's clearly they are the favourite but Monaco has interesting records at home because unlike other big teams who very strong during playing at their home but Monaco is different because this season Monaco was gets 3 loses from home matches which mean although this is home match for Monaco but there is no guarantee they will being an the winner of this match

For Monaco opponent Toulouse this team was performing well at Europa league but in Ligue 1 Toulouse performing badly which make they have to hard struggling to avoiding relegation zone and Monaco has odds @1.58 but i am not sure this option could be safe bets or not because Monaco performance also still not stable especially Monaco will lost some players who got suspension including their top scorer in Ligue 1 Wissam Ben Yedder and indeed today they will playing Balogun as centre striker but i am not sure played him could be good option or not considering Balogun performance is not so impressive
Well Nice has dropped points already even after starting the season very strong. The lost to Lyon which are one big side of the French League and It was somewhat expected though.The loss in points for Nice gives Monacco the edge to head up to 2nd place in the league. Many will think Moancco wouldn’t  be able to get all the 3 points because of how kind of poor they’ve been especially at home ground.

 I thought this will be a win for  Monaco as they’re also eager to climb 2nd. But when you look at the players availability, you’ll see that they’re lacking some key players due to suspension and injury and the 2nd choices aren’t worth picking in the team. Therefore i wasn't really suprised at the lose they encountered yesterday against Toulouse at their home ground. They had that to their advantage but failed to take advantage of it.

You cannot really call a contender Nice based on their past performances they have always had a piece of the season where they have been extremely inconsistent and as such a team with inconsistency cannot really challenge a team like Paris which is already quite some points ahead and are relaxed for the title fight which most likely they will win it again.

They are now thinking exlusively to the Champions League as it is many years they are after such trophy.
817  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you beleive in the concept of "Luck"? on: February 19, 2024, 08:33:42 AM
I believe in luck because after all it is a real aspect that often occurs in our lives and we can't help but believe in it. Even though at some times luck seems like something that is hard to believe, it is something that often happens. But even so, as gamblers we should not expect too much from luck, because that is something we cannot expect too much from. We must be able to gamble responsibly and always use logic and pay attention to the limits when gambling.

The concept of luck in life is very true but not at all in gambling.In life based on our situations that we go through we can say we were lucky or unlucky depending on each case.It is a completely different story in gambling as there is something called the house edge put in place by slot providers to make sure the house is always in profit which consequently make us be in loss the more time we continue to play these games,so luck is not a real concept in casinos in my opinion.
818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why gambling beginners must not joke with casino announcement on: February 19, 2024, 08:01:53 AM
It's important for beginners to be cautious or vigilant with new online casinos because most of their offers or bonuses are too good to be true which includes risk of issues and potential scam. It's better to do some research and background check of the casino or games before deposititng and placing bets. Beng well informed is important to ensure safety and enjoy gambling experience.

I don't see a need for trying a newly established casino,not right away at least and the reason is simple,the reputable casinos that are established a long time ago offer you everything you need to be happy,daily,weekly and monthly bonuses.The offer of a huge % for your initial deposit from these newly established casinos should be taken with caution and only after evaluating some time by checking other people feedback,only then you can deposit if the feedback is positive.

2-0 for Monza after the 1st half against Milan.

Well Inter will have even an easier job now.
Monza has completely blown AC Milan away. It's Monza 4 and AC Milan 2. Milan had almost made a perfect comeback to 2-2 even when they were reduced to 10 men only for Monza to add 2 more goals in the dying minutes of the game.

It is Inter Milan's title to lose.

It is absolutely not going to happen.Juventus drawing,Milan losing and Inter Milan winning 4-0 shows exactly the supremacy during all this season of Inter Milan.This supremacy is further confirmed by the power of Inter in winning both direct head to head games against Milan and Juventus and there is no team who can challenge them right now.They are thinking much more of the Champions League road map right now rather than Serie A which they already considered this title in their pocket as simply there is no other team capable of facing them and winning more than they have done.Just two days from now and we will see the real power of Inter Milan against Atletico Madrid in Champions League.

As I said some several posts ago here that Bayern should not be relied to be betting on them as all the psychological pressure is on them and they showed tonight that they could not bear such a pressure and I also conclude that in here they completely lost any single glimpse of hope that they may had to win the Bundesliga this year,they simply have not been consistent.

Leverkussen needs just to not be self complacent and I am pretty sure with their performance they are going to have an easy win of the Bundesliga title during this year,they just need to not underestimate any remaining games until the end of the season.
