8141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some Tips To Aide Successful Sports Betting. on: August 14, 2022, 01:39:35 PM

3. Learn All the Basics
Although it’s very simple to start betting on sports, rushing into it is not advisable, Learning the ins and outs of the game will allow you to have a better understanding of it and make an informed decision when it comes to making money, Although it might not be possible to win every bet, but learning the ins and outs of the game will allow you to make a better-informed decisions at all time and of course increase your chances of winning every bet you place.


That's a very important tip for anybody who wants to go into sports betting. I would go even further than this and advice anyone to pick the sport he likes the most and try and become an expert in it. The more we know, the more we follow the games and the leagues, the better our betting results will be. If we only know the basics it becomes hard to look at the odds bookmaker offer us and see if they are cheap or expensive of us. The most money we can make when we feel that the we know more than what the odds imply. Back in university I was betting a lot with friends on all kind of sports, even when we had no real clue. Now I limit myself to mostly football, rappers and basketball games. It's the sport where I always check results, follow the top teams and watch the games even without betting on it. To stay around for a long in sports betting it's good to have a passion for a game and maybe even play it ourselves.

Yes, in fact there is one thing that many people don't know about if they don't ask it out of pity, but at least the first time I came across a page or platform to make sports bets I didn't know how it worked, and I really liked it. It took some time to learn to know how to operate, what each square meant, and this was something basic but for me it was difficult because I had never made bets like this, although there are people who are experts, I think the details are something that could make us lose money if we don't know how to handle the platforms, then apart from this if the basic concepts are not very clear I think the player could face a complete disaster.

I was really happy to see and read that Nürnberg have won the last weekend for a long time again against Greuther Fürth at home.
The " Franken Derby " is some kind of special game for both teams and the last time Nürnberg won that was in 2018.
And it shows that Nürnberg is on the right way and i still have hope that they can back in the first German League.

It’s also not like they just got lucky. Both teams have played well. Nürnberg is the team that could convert their chances into goals. On the other hand, Furth could not convert the chances that they got. Furth actually had a significant amount of possession of the ball. At times, it felt like watching a WWE match. That’s because of all the fouls that happened in the match. But overall I will say it was a really enjoyable game. And of course, it is really encouraging to see Nürnberg win the match. They actually played well and even though it does not seem very appealing to the eyes, they did what they had to do to maintain the lead.
The fact that Nürnberg has won is something that motivates me a lot, this team is playing with order and with a lot of efficiency, I think that if they continue like this they can be among the leaders, right now it is very difficult to say who could be the winner of the 2nd Bundesliga, but something that last season has taught me is that there are teams that come from very low and manage to surprise, they are even capable of beating those who are leaders and give them great lessons, but if that is the case, I would think that they have to continue with the same level or even much higher, because so much effort has to be reflected in the results.


yesterday, kaiserslautern suffered its first defeat of the season, losing 0-1 at home vs paderborn.
today, hamburger sv can keep contact with the top of the table with a win at the still winless relegated arminia bielefeld.

I don't know about the others but I see that Hamburger SV is having good results, and I really like the way they are playing, I am seeing that there is a lot of organization, understanding and above all harmony in them, this reminds me of many eventualities where I saw a brotherhood like that was in the Argentinians a long time ago where they treated each other like brothers and they did very well in their games, I don't know, I'm just speculating, but I think they are doing something like that, I like it because they focus as a team and if one does something wrong, the rest of the team is there to support the teammate who failed, I think that's what football is really about.

Already you weren't able to make a big win out of gambling, then it is good to take a break than just looking for financial freedom out of gambling. When you're into financial struggle, gambling is not the right choice. I've experienced similar situation, and I'm trying the take a break than just trying to recover what I've lost. Gambling brings good only to the luckiest.
That's correct - and that is something I needed strongly. Made my day.
I have lost a big amount and I am still disturbed and restless for not being able to digest what has happened to me .. but sometime we have to accept what's not yours go from our hand. Like a bird. God give me patience. Thanks.

Restless betting can lead you to more losses which might make your situation worse. If you're struggling with your finances, gambling isn't the right alternative for you to recover. You better stay away from it especially if you're holding funds that you can't afford to lose. Gambling has risks and is mainly for entertainment purposes. Not everyone can be lucky in gambling so keep out of it if you're starting to feel unlucky in it.

Normally when something like this happens, the best thing is to have self-control, I know some cases where restless bets have made them lose a lot of money, and people who don't fall for it continue to lose, and the worst thing is that when people lose in that way they have left a "pique" against the game, and they don't know well when they keep trying to win, this is something that is very dangerous because it can lead to total addiction. When there are people who are very easy to manipulate these things, they tend to fall into these types of traps, I usually call them traps because it is an easy way to make them lose money.
8144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Free Gambling Course provided by OnlineGambling on: August 14, 2022, 04:40:08 AM
An initiative that isn't necessary, because gambling is for fun. When it is associated with the learning, it becomes a profession. Giving a visual content to make gamblers know how to play is different from giving a course on a specific game. Some might find it a needed one, but in my view it is unwanted.

Does the course assure of a win and profit out of the game once after the completion of the course. No, it won't. If it assure of wins, then it is fair to have such courses.

It's not totally 'unnecessary' but rather just a simple idea that made happen. Yes, gambling is indeed for fun, but 'fun' is just a perk on those who enjoy playing it. Learning about it more WHILE enjoying it does not just make it a 'profession', but rather a fun game with a serious strategical analogy and movements. Also, 'giving visual content' is how courses are being taught, hence could never be different, unless such visual wouldn't contain information and just pure images with no explanations to be followed. Lastly, maybe not everyone wants such course, but some will - especially those who knows how enjoyable gambling (especially blackjack) could be.

On the other hand, Courses, in any aspect of gambling or in real life, never assures something out of it. Imagine taking a Programming course, the professor or the administration that offers/endorses that course NEVER assures that you will be a better programmer, YOU MAKE YOURSELF ONE. Hence in this case, this program is just a plain course to teach strategies and ideas in Blackjack gambling, and never assures you can use such course to be rich.


I completely agree with you. 
one thing i believe that no player really gets rich from gambling. and this is a fact regardless of someone winning thousands of dollars, if he doesn't quit then the money will go back to the bookies. but there is no harm in trying to take the course to become new knowledge  in gambling especially blackjack especially if one wants to become a professional gambler.
again back with my words:  no one is really rich by gambling.


There is something that I have learned over the years, especially with gambling and trading respectively, the first thing is that we cannot think that we will get rich with gambling or trading overnight, people who believe that this is so, they are very wrong and I think they have to do something about it as a protection measure for themselves, another thing that I have learned is that every profit, no matter how little, is profit, it is much better to have a very small profit to a loss, there is no doubt about that, however I have learned to see both trading and gambling as a business, a business where if you get minimal profits we are doing things right, and every time we operate the ideal is that profits are obtained, not extreme, but something.
8145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos You're Playing That Are not On This Forum on: August 14, 2022, 03:47:33 AM
This is in reference to a newbie thread in the gambling section about his list of casinos that surprisingly are not on this forum, there are too many of them some of them are already running 5 to 20 years already.

So I would like to ask are you playing in casinos that are not on this forum, if so what are these casinos and how's your experience can you recommend them here, can you name your own list

I used to play in a few physical casino's but now I mostly play in online casinos which are famous in this forum. Even if sometimes i try to play in a new casino, I came to know about those casinos through this forum (as new casinos often start their ANN thread here).

I have also seen this list which you have mentioned and i was also surprised to know that these casino's were so old, but I never heard of them before.

Well I was like that too, until it was banned for many years, but I think it's safer to play in online casinos, so I've seen many casinos that I don't know but they show them on TV, usually they are casinos that don't accept crypto, everything is pro credit card, but even so, I am sure that if the casinos manage to get here something could be done, maybe a way can be found to integrate this type of casinos that handle a lot of money and that handle a high business model, They could be expanded here in the forum, perhaps it is what is needed, but it is a matter of reaching the casinos with a type of proposal that is focused on crypto.

Usually no but if there's stuff there that attracts me, maybe I will try it. Prior to doing that of course, there should be enough positive reviews on the site and I also should see some negative reviews too for me to know that those review page I have encountered is not truly manipulated by that said sites.

In case no reviews around, even how good the site is, with stunning effect and design and wonderful promotions for new users, I might not try the site but it's now on my watchlist as I wait for more reviews. Sometimes, scam sites are not putting effort into the design of the site so maybe I will give an exception on other new sites with stunning designs with proper caution.

What stuff can attract you to a new project? Taking into account the fact that the set of games is almost the same everywhere, and if we are talking about sports betting, then the odds are also approximately the same everywhere. Probably these are bonuses (especially bonuses when registering and making the first deposit). Often they look very attractive, but I never use them, as this initially introduces "tension" in the relationship between the player and the casino.

Well, it's not that it's a casino as such, but a friend lent me his pokerstars account and in reality things move very well there, he told me that I could only spend 5usd on him, not more than that, however I put to play and I really couldn't expand them, I reached 2 usd, then I went up to 3, from there I lost I reached 1 and then I won, I reached 7usd, the truth is that it is very exciting, they still need to implement the BTC thing, although I really don't know if they will, maybe over time they can think about it, but generally I see that this platform moves many players and they are constantly playing games and everything is very busy.
8146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: POSSIBLE THINGS TO HELP US TO WIN AT CRYPTO CASINOS on: August 14, 2022, 03:13:47 AM
~snip~
Even also for those that have been gambling for so long. It's applicable to everybody because we often forget that greediness is going to lead us to the result that we don't want to happen.

Once they get into the situation, they'll think of how they can deal with such and will remember that having this attitude will not allow them to move further.

So, when they win, that will suffice them and will just have to wait until the day ends for them to get back on track by tomorrow.
Controlling greed so that it doesn't grow big is the responsibility of every gambler, be it a new gambler or an old gambler who already has a lot of experience in gambling. But unfortunately, many of them forget about it and do not follow the rules they have applied. They will forget about that, especially when they can win a large amount of money because some of us already have experience in this. Very few of us can stop when we win because, at that moment, we think this is a good day for us and we have to make the most of it. But the reality is not the same as what we wanted; instead, we end up losing all the money.
It is for everybody that has the idea to gamble. You'll never know that you're already greedy and you can't identify it to yourself because there's a denial stage and you'll not figure it out to yourself.

That's there are gamblers that has a minimum target for the day if they're for the money or the profit. And if they're lucky enough, that's the limit that they create so that they won't push that much.

You know you're right, sometimes there are many people betting on a parlay, but I see that they go every day to buy lottery numbers, and I always see them, but what they spend is very little and for the same the same number, then the majority of people who buy like this are older adults, and they don't care much about the results, they only concentrate on what they play, apart from being aware of all sports, local and international leagues, there are some who they win and others who lose the same amount of money every day, and when you talk to them, they know a lot of information, they know every detail, it's incredible.
8147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Gambling companies can get more users to deposit. on: August 14, 2022, 01:46:06 AM
The deposit bonus is widely practiced whether its crypto or fiat based casino from my knowledge and to be honest which itself encourages people to deposit more money than what they are actually planned but before all of these they need to have trust on the casino then only they will deposit whatever money they are going to gamble wither it can be a 10 dollar or millions of dollars which means the reputation and user experience p[lays a huge role in attracting more money into their bankroll.

But I thunk having the deposit bonus is not enough to gain more users to deposit and play with their website. They need to make more events and giveaways if ever, a lot of competition is happening right now there are a tons of gambling website and games that can be found in the internet, they need to gain the people trust because for me it is the first thing to do and it is needed to be prioritize. I also read somewhere in this board that a certain casino website is having an issue in referral bonus wherein users took advantage of it, they can also use this referral strategy but they need to take care of this issue as well.

Casinos are currently looking for many ways to attract more customers to the casino, and one of the things that attracts a lot are welcome bonuses, in my particular case I see this as a double-edged sword because when bonuses are accepted we are conditioned to many things What should we do to be able to make a withdrawal of funds, and among them the large wagers that exist.

I always look for a way to read all the conditions that the bonuses have to be able to acquire them, and if I see that it is not renewable for me, I simply do not accept them or try to communicate with support to say that I do not want them to give me the bonus, it is something strange but I believe that each person has the right to choose well what they want.

Gambling sites are a special type of business. Every business principle is to do several tips to attract customers. New gamblers will always be attracted if gambling sites offer deposit bonuses and various occasional cash bonuses. Handet Person Deposit Bonus to be offered to new joiners. Withdrawal system to be introduced without KYC. A gambling site needs to increase its trustworthiness rating points so that new gamblers will be attracted to that site.

Trust and perks are the common factors why gamblers will bring their money inside a casino, if they feel that they can entrust their money they will keep sending and enjoying the platform, and with additional offers including those bonuses they will bring more and possibilities that they will recommend the site to their friends.

It's a business that needed to attract interest with offers that will really impress new and old users.

Not easy though, but if the owners are keen to succeed, they will use every platform to bring new and old users to keep coming back.

Sacrifice is a must in these kinds of businesses because you cannot attract gamblers to play on your platform if you're not willing to give what they want to get them tempted, bonuses and cashback or some offers will do the trick to get more gamblers playing in your platform and of course consistency so that they will remain playing and won't bother looking for other platforms that will attract them more.

Allowing them to enjoy and feel that they've got something that they can't get from other service providers. Gamblers always wanted to be treated special and with those promotional offers and bonuses, it is something that they will really appreciate. As owner, you just need to be consistent and always ready to adjust.

It's not easy though, competition is always present and the more you show up what you can give, the more interest gamblers will show up, and a possibility that they will use and keep the site as host for their gambling activities.
Yes, in fact there are some casinos that have their community and that are all the time in live presentations with their streamers, a casino that is not what others do not give is the main feature that they are looking for and that they as a company seek to attract. to more clients, some try the bonuses and others try the contests where they offer prizes on social networks for doing tasks, this is something that many players like to participate in and in turn they get good publicity and more traffic.
8148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling on Psychology & Sociology Perspectives. on: August 13, 2022, 11:48:51 PM
I find this thread as a thread of merging several topics about gambling and it's a good one. For the first one, there's the relation and sort of feng shui to it and that's why they want to test their luck. Yeah, what a way to test your luck and it's part of their culture so there's no question to that whether they're in for entertainment or for money.

I think with these researches, they're on point and we as gamblers will really have something to say and reason out for the decisions that we're about to do. Whatever is our purpose, there's something of its cause that we want to achieve and if it's not achieved by us, we tend to say another reason which is also valid upon explanation just to hide the actual reason out of our frustration.

Well when I read the title of the thread, the first thing that came to mind was in sociology, which meant doing public relations, and the psychological part was the part as such, but there are many versions, according to what I spoke with a psychologist, tells me that there is no psychology of trading, that there is no psychology of Gambling, but only psychology exists and that is what sets the tone for anything, just as there is no psychology of sport, our entire psyche is the that tells us what we should do, that many times our subconscious is the one who gives the orders and it is executed almost in the long term, I think this is a topic that can be extended a lot.
8149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2022 Group Stage Highlights on: August 13, 2022, 10:58:13 PM
Do we have already odds for the FIFA World Cup 2022? I think that's more likely best to know rather than just saying there's easy or not for the groups. What I mean is odds for every group if ever there is. I don't think that it will always favor on the South American continent, even the defending champion is from Europe.
Well, in reality, the statistics on the soccer teams for this World Cup are very partial to what everyone thinks, I have seen many who affirm that this World Cup is for Argentina, Germany, France or Brazil, for many these are the favorite teams and although technically and at the level of results they can be very likely to win, we have to be aware of the possible surprises that some other teams can give, the majority do not have much faith in Portugal, some put their hopes in Germany, if I am honest I would have I'm pinning my hopes on Italy, but since they won't be in this World Cup either, I think I'd lean more towards Brazil.

Yes, and the truth is, Byron Casstillo had a very bad time, I saw a video where he himself said that he should be removed from the team in order not to damage Ecuador's classification, however, the Chileans were very bad, and it was not only the Italians who speculated that they were , the Colombians were hoping they would go to the World Cup, I honestly don't like Ecuador's style of football, sometimes they have explosiveness in their plays, maybe I would have liked Italy to go, but that's football, although now I don't see how boring the matches are, there are many without flavors from countries that want and deserve to go to the World Cup and this is something that is used with more inclusions.

Lop-sided matches will be there even if the number of participant countries remain at 32. The main argument from FIFA was that it wanted to give more chances to teams from the CAF and AFC. But even with the current qualification system, teams that qualify from these two confederations struggle against the teams from CONMEBOL and UEFA. Remember the inaugural match from the last world cup? Russia thrashed Saudi Arabia by a margin of 5-0. And this is despite the fact that Saudi Arabia is considered as one of the strongest teams in the AFC, and Russia doesn't rank among the top-20 UEFA nations.

Yes, I remember that part, what strikes me is that after that successful world, Russia is no longer in this World Cup, of course, like Italy, Sweden, they are countries that are really worth seeing, like their fans, I think that the countries that go for these teams will be seen differently, I am a little anxious to see this World Cup, the fact that it is until November is something new for me, but I do know that this Christmas will be much happier for having the World Cup at this time, it will be of another level and I want to see and I am curious to see some teams from countries that qualified in the playoffs, how will their behavior be when they have to play against the greats.

It is very unfortunate that the countries you mentioned were unable to qualify for this year's World Cup.
in particular is Italy where they are one of the European countries that have a tradition in the World Cup but in fact they have not participated in two editions of the World Cup,
what is clear is that this is a new world cup because it is held in November and hopefully it will be even more interesting
Yes, I am not Italian, but I am a fan of that country, Italy for me represents that elegant football, that beautiful football and with a very nice style in particular, however I think that now that it will be done and celebrated with more countries, Italy must be there present.

Yes, I remember that part, what strikes me is that after that successful world, Russia is no longer in this World Cup, of course, like Italy, Sweden, they are countries that are really worth seeing, like their fans, I think that the countries that go for these teams will be seen differently, I am a little anxious to see this World Cup, the fact that it is until November is something new for me, but I do know that this Christmas will be much happier for having the World Cup at this time, it will be of another level and I want to see and I am curious to see some teams from countries that qualified in the playoffs, how will their behavior be when they have to play against the greats.

Russia would have qualified for the world cup, but based on the complaints by Poland and Ukraine, FIFA decided to suspend their participation. If Russia can be suspended for the war against Ukraine, then I don't know why the US was not banned after their invasions of Iraq, Syria and Libya. Anyway, Russia will be missed, along with the teams that failed to qualify such as Italy. In case of the latter, it was unexpected. I never imagined in my wildest dreams that they will lose to North Macedonia. Lesson learnt. Never ever underestimate Goran Pandev.

That's what they say, but those are things that are decided by elites much higher than what is normally handled, I don't particularly like that soccer teams are kicked out just for political problems, I understand that this is a problem that goes much further, and what a pure logic to having so many war drums is logical, but in the Russian team there are good players, players who have been training since they were children, who have made a career in other teams and that is not fair to them However, I think that they have no intention of wars or anything, it is very difficult for them to live under the yoke of a Russian president who only wants to take over an already consolidated country, so much so that it has affected the sport.
8150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Infographics] Does Football Betting Pay Off? on: August 13, 2022, 10:24:30 PM
There are too many factors influencing an accurate outcome to that survey ...

1. People can lie about their success.
2. The amount of people that participated per country.
3. The knowledge levels of the people that participated. (Professionals or Rookies)
4. Population of the country.
5. Citizenship. (UK are a mix breed of people)

So you cannot simply take this as an accurate reflection of the facts per country. You have to gather more information of the people's background before you draw up the statistics.  Roll Eyes

Eventually the things you say here are true, many people can lie, sometimes that can damage the results and you can't have totally truthful information, although I think one thing, and as my personal opinion there is one thing that influences many of us , we can have a lot of knowledge, but if there is a team associated to our liking, even if the team is at its worst, the person will always bet in favor of that team, just because the fundamental part is much stronger and weighs more on the team. when making a decision that the same reason for reality, and only this, what we commonly call "emotions" is sometimes far above our own perspectives and can damage a decision.
8151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: taking out a loan for a sports bet (UPDATE) + fixed match on: August 13, 2022, 09:56:13 PM
It is very easy to borrow and so hard to pay off.
I have never met a single person in my life who has borrowed the money and paid off the way they borrowed the money.
If the loan is taken for some good reason like for starting any business then it is good and it can be paod off. But for gambling or anything like that is pretty much awful decisions in my opinion.

If the OP can verify the reliability of his insider information. Taking a loan will not gonna hurt much to boost his bets but not the point that loan an amount worth a forune and invest it on gambling. I agree to your opinion if we are talking about normal gambling here but the OP case is different because he is claiming that he has an insider information that will give him an advanced info on the outcome of the game which is really happening in sports on some countries.
Well for me this always represents a risk, because even if they say that the game or the results are fixed in advance, it also represents a great risk, I would not be so confident in that, although this type of practice does not surprise me because obviously in everything it has always been fulfilled, besides this reminds me of the series called "Peaky Blinders" which they do this type of practices that was also done at that time, this is something that happens not only in sports games, I think in many They fix things and their business model increases greatly, as well as the large raffles that are held, which are very common.
8152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [CHESS] FIDE Candidates Chess Tournament 2022 on: August 13, 2022, 09:08:25 PM

If an old champion has no motivation to defend his title, then he is weak. Like it or not, but the motivation and will to be the best for many years is one of the parameters that determine the strongest players. Carlsen gave up the title and the fight for the vacant seat is interesting by definition.
In addition, we can assume that the level of contenders for the title is approximately the same, so we will see a sharp fight and not the dominance of one side, as in previous matches.

I wouldn't call Carlsen weak but it is indeed interesting that he vacated his title. In his mind, he has nothing to prove anymore as he is already a 5 time world champion and one of the greatest chess players of all time.
I hope that he can reach the impossible 2900 elo level as that would be some accomplishment!

Well, yes it is true, but we also do not know what situations he is going through, even so that will not take away all the mastery with which he plays chess, I would like to one day reach his level, but it would be with training almost 24 hours a day and that It would not be normal, in fact, it would be a great effort and I think that in the situations we are currently experiencing and with all the things that must be done, it is not very profitable, so perhaps he is going through a personal and very particular moment, but I don't think that has to mean that he is weak, I think that even with thousands of problems he will continue to win and be champion.
8153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mayweather Vs McGregor: Info and prediction thread on: August 13, 2022, 07:18:14 PM
It pains me to bump this thread again...  It really does...  I read an article today though that says McGregor and Mayweather are currently in talks to do a repeat of their last fight.  Supposedly they're arguing now over what the rules would be.  Dana White recently said that he wouldn't sign off that fight, but money talks and I'm sure he says that every time he would have to go into a negotiation like that.  It sounds like a fight is making progress though, which is confusing because McGregor said that his return would be in the octagon not the square.
As usual, these fellas need to set up something just to fill their pockets once again on simply showing off some jabs and running and viola... Easy millions.

Just snipping out something from this article.
Mayweather has reportedly offered McGregor $157.9million (£131.5m) for the rematch and is said to be willing to put his unbeaten professional record on the line.

https://www.sportbible.com/boxing/conor-mcgregor-floyd-mayweather-rematch-20220726

For Dana, when the money involved is something that cant really be ignored then i wont really be surprised if he would be signing up.




Mayweather putting his professional record on the line? I think that is not possible, Mayweather is quite sensitive in protecting and preserving his record. Although their first encounter was added to his professional record which he retires officially after the said fight but he also said that he won't be putting his record anymore to his next bouts if he will have any.

But if it's boxing, I don't have some doubts that he can still maintain his record while also adding up to it because he have the edge compared to McGregor who is just trained to exhaust his gas and energy in mere 4 rounds so it's quite easy to say that Mayweather will still win.

Despite all this, I think the fight would be one of the titans, and I would honestly make the bet in favor of Mc Gregor because obviously I know that Mayweather has won many of his fights very attached to the technical, and when he sees himself in trouble he help me with that, just the disappointing fight against Pacquiao where he ran all over the ring for me is enough to put all my money on Mc Gregor, I think Mayweather is a very talkative fighter, and things with Mc Gregor will not be So, with this boxer I would like him to give him a good knockout, and obviously he will not put his record at stake, he knows he can lose it, so he is not stupid at all, he is very cunning, I would like that fight to take place now.

That will never happen. If a person decided to stop gambling because he realized that he already has a gambling addiction and it is progressing he will stay away from gambling and not play even with fake money because such a game is not able to resist addiction and most likely even aggravates the already deplorable situation.

I know a guy who lost a lot of money because of his gambling addiction and now he completely ignores it without even playing cards with his friends.
Those which have never been addicted to anything may feel that such a posture is too extreme but it is precisely what it must be done, the desire to go back to their old ways is too strong for those which were addicted to something, and as such anything that resembles the activity may be more than enough to lead them to that path again, so it makes sense that the person that you know does everything he can to avoid putting himself in a position in which he could fall victim of his addiction again.

No doubt, that's the reality inside you. Once you came from that kind of addiction, the eagerness once being triggered again will flow. It's something that, unexplainable but the lust will continue to flow on you. It's better to stay away completely and never to think of any alternative that is still associated with your addictions.

It is a have to keep yourself busy doing other things instead of trying to play, even using a play money.

The system inside you will lead you to play back using real money. It's unavoidable.

Yes, always in any addiction when it is taken for granted that it has been overcome is when you should be most careful not to fall again because the moment you fall it will be something much stronger and with everything, because the person will not only have anxiety accumulated, but he will also have a lot of accumulated desire and will want to do everything once he is there, this is something that must be taken care of, that is why a person with an addiction problem that he considers overcome is when he should concentrate the most on do other activities so that at any time or free time you don't fall back into temptation, that's something very difficult to manage but not impossible, I think it's all a matter of wanting.


I agree, as long as a compulsive gambler has access to gambling, the addiction will keep on going.
.There is no alternative for money ...these alternative for money will not work
I would highly not recommend to use different apps for the money game - rather save your time and do something productive
The alternatives for an addicted player always get them, I think that the best option for a player who is falling into addiction or who is already addicted is to do other things that consume a lot of time and tire him, one option is that he can play sports, constantly changing the environment, doing activities that require time and not giving him much time to play, of course quitting completely is not healthy either, because when he has a relapse the consequences will be worse, he is like alcoholics, You have to leave it little by little, play little, if you used to play two hours before, at least lower it to 1 hour, and the other week half an hour and so on.

Here is the final weigh in, both makes the desired weight:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jOehy73TD8

Garcia - 152¾  lbs
Benavidez - 153¾ lbs

Danny Garcia is still the huge favorite in this fight. I will not be surprised if he wins by a late stoppage or even with a knock out win. His left is still will be his favorite go to weapons. And winner of this fight will probably continue with this journey. While the loser will obviously have a hard time getting into the scene again.

The truth is that I would like Garcia to win, also because you can see that he is having a good time, and that he has prepared himself with great enthusiasm, you can see that, I also like one thing, that the other boxers are seeing that boxing is a path to be able to be filled with glory and also with money, I have been following some flyweight boxers, who have gone to the Olympics and have been interested in fighting professionally, this time not to get medals, but to get money, and I do not appreciate wrong, if they see boxers who are inspired by this type of fight, then let it continue happening and with that the business model grows and we would be seeing level 1A fights.

It's just my opinion guys, sometimes I over exaggerate statements and sometimes I admit my wrong understanding from those statements.

Moving on.

Nonito's career is not over, but if I would suggest, I think he should retire already.
Majority of us want him to retire already but I guess that we're not going to see it happen anytime soon.
Well, I don't know, but I think that Nonito still has a lot of cartridges left to burn, I know that now he is in a situation where they don't want him anymore, but it's normal for all boxers, for me it still doesn't help him to retire and if he's going to do it, he'll have to prepare a good round of fights where he won them all, it is better to go out through the 'big door and have a good memory of him, he is not a good boxer, only that he lacks a bit of alignment, it should be noted that now the boxers demand themselves a little more, maybe since he is from the old school he thinks that with what he knows he can leave everything that way, but every day he has to prepare with more intensity.
8156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Teofimo Lopez vs Pedro Campa - Aug 13 on: August 13, 2022, 03:26:23 PM
I also voted for Lopez to win by either a knock out or TKO. Campa might be a good fighter, but Lopez is far more superior, he has the power and his boxing skills is underrated even though he lost to Kambosos.

And I'm not aware of the injuries he suffered, so it was due to the effects of Covid. Maybe this is one of the reasons why he lost (not making excuses though). Let's see how far Lopez can go in this weight class, I mean there are really good fighter in this division, that the road to championship and belt is going to be very hard for him, but nevertheless, it is not impossible.

Well, I really hope that López does a good job, as you say, the covid when it hits people usually leaves some things in the body, and those people who suffer from something in particular can develop much faster, I have friends and specifically an uncle of my wife, which, he got covid-19, he overcame it, but that caused his kidneys to attack and shortly after he developed a fulminant cancer that took him away quickly, in the case of athletes they have health conditions superior to those of a normal person, because their whole body is active and therefore their immune system sometimes makes nothing happen to them, perhaps there were no sequelae left and that is not an impediment to defeating Campa.

So we will see in this fight, maybe the PPV will not have great numbers, but the live gates might be very different. So we shall see, in the weigh in he was beaming with smile, could be that he is very happy to make the weight that easy, no more huge diet in his part just to make the contractual weight. And I also check the line, bookies are not listing any options for now, and that is too bad for those who want to bet and wants to see more options instead of the ML.

The fact that this fight is happening, means promoters are still making money despite not that much compared to the championship fight. It's Lopez's debut in this new division, if he wins this, he will more challengers before he can finally have a chance to challenge the champion.

What happens is that Lópe is launching himself into professional boxing, and he is not used to all the money he is going to receive, obviously this is a pretty good business model and it causes all kinds of emotions to be produced for the boxer, however, When all the gfans know the boxer's abilities, he will undoubtedly have a community of fans just for him. For me he can shine and he has a way to do it, I trust that he can give a pleasant surprise and enter professional boxing with all the law.
8157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If There's No Casino Signature Will The Gambling Board Still Be The Same on: August 13, 2022, 01:23:53 PM
If you're promoting a casino-based campaign you need to post at least 5 to 10 posts in the gambling section Currently there are  1136622 Posts and  5903 Topics in the gambling discussion alone the gambling announcement not included making it the most active board here in Bitcointalk.

If There are No Casino Signature campaigns Anymore Will The Gambling Board Still Be The Same will we have the same stats as we are seeing right now
Definitely, we will see less threads in the gambling board compared today since we will find most of the members focus posting in other boards that are more important than gambling board as it’s no longer a requirement anymore. However, gamblers in born are still expected to give more time in the gambling board since they are inclined to it, while other forum members or participants will focus on other local boards to meet the post requirement in the campaign.

I believe that the sections that have to do with Gambling, Gambling Discussion cannot be seen only as the requirement to meet the demands of a signing campaign, there will always be players with doubts about the game, where they want to share experiences and something new that they have learned. , or even doubts, if we see it from the point of view of just meeting the requirement to fulfill that objective for campaigns, we only have to see it as a business model that moves through this area, in the case of Spam as many believe, which, sometimes if there is, for that there is the option to report to the moderator, I consider that sometimes people pretend that they do not know or do not want to accept that for all these things there is a business model very large that needs to be established, in my way of seeing business I see it as normal, and I do not think there is anyone here who does not like money and this is a way to be able to keep alive a section that is also very attractive active, every game, every casino will always turn out to be very attractive to people, of a large population I am sure that at least 80% or more like it, and this without making a probability, 'because there are people who do not even get into a casino to play, but if they get involved I am sure that the greater probability of liking is superior.
8158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling in Moderation, Pros can out weigh its Cons in Financial and Health? on: August 13, 2022, 06:31:22 AM
Gamblers literally don't need to stop. Just take a break every after a painful loss and they can return again in action.

Stopping to do gambling is not that simple and it needs a strong dedication to do. But in the very first place, there's no need to actually stop. Just take it slowly and make way to moderate our gambling activity. In that way, we are not fully falling down to the negative effects of gambling.

I know it's hard to resist the temptation of gambling and chasing our losses is always the thing on our minds.

But if we don't do anything to help ourselves, then big problems are ahead.
If we still do discipline gambling, I guess there will be no bigger problems waiting ahead. Just knowing how to gamble moderately and of course, putting it into action will still make us profitable in the long run. Just try to always control your emotions when you are in loss to avoid more possible losses, otherwise you will go home empty handed and leaves the gambling casinos always with a heavy heart.
Discipline and gambling are two different things. In our region gamblers are not appreciated and they always face criticism and distress.
But its very good to know that many gamblers are disciplined and they don't steal other people's money and don't have lust for taking advantage of other. I have hardly seen selfless people who are concerned about themselves and are not selfish at all.


Well, the truth is that every player must have ethics first and foremost, there is no reason to steal from others, in fact if you play on an online casino platform there is no way you can steal, the only way is that you can get a vulnerability and manage to exploit it, even so it must be taken into account that this is quickly questionable and the offender is quickly found, in fact many casinos are updating all their systems to avoid these things, if we see the events from a point of view in favor of a player, it can be concluded that the player only exploits the vulnerability and the casino is blamed, but if not, he should inform the casino and the casino must give him a very good remuneration so that he can continue to exercise that trust between player-casino .
8159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The characteristics of people who are addicted to online gambling on: August 13, 2022, 05:46:10 AM
The most common characteristic of an addicted gambler is they are greedy to earn more money from something they think will make them rich since gambling gives them an easy way to earn it. They forgot how to discipline themselves in spending their money in gambling and are too focused on the goal to win that they don't realize how much they already lose. Usually these are people who are in desperate need for money or want to escape their 9 to 5 job.
You are very right, they have money on their mind all the time. And they can go to any extend to get money out of pocket of the other people.
Last night I was watching a season where a plane crashed and the women who survived burnt the money to lit the fire.This is the worth of the money when you are stick in wilderness - and when you die. You take your deeds along, oh! the world is a horrible place with these greedy minded people.
Apart from the prevailing need to win money, I think that one of the things they take into account the most is winning the game, that is, in their minds the idea of always being able to win the jackpot is always kept, in cases like these, The person usually always seeks to be lucky with the first games, making large bets is an option or strategy that they have to win and that is where things go wrong, because if they lose that money, how can it be recovered? then the person begins to make loans and if he loses, he just continues to get into debt until a moment will come when he will be indebted to many people and may fall into a depression.

The character changes can be experienced once after big losses. Later after experiencing series of losses, it gets used to them. With most of the gamblers, while experiencing the very first big loss it becomes big frustration for them. Some used to end-up their lives and go for wrong decisions. If they've come up, then they'll give gambling or go behind looking for recovery. This leads to addiction. Characteristics of people addicted to online gambling mostly find ways to stay alone, so that they can gamble without any disturbance.

Loneliness in an addicted person is a common characteristic in all addicts, because either they want anyone to find out about their situation, it is as if the player himself believes that he is in a parallel universe through which he wants to let his environment know that everything is fine, usually this type of person when he takes that attitude is something more bitter, annoyed, he does not want to talk to anyone, he even moves away from his family and does not allow any interaction unless he is interested, and it is usually to lose pro-state money or something so that I can keep playing in the hope of getting it all back.
8160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction. on: August 13, 2022, 04:27:07 AM
In fact, those who become addicted to gambling become very difficult to withdraw from this gambling.Those of us who become addicted to something find it very difficult to come back. Similarly, those who are addicted to this game of gambling can never quit gambling.Yes it is possible only when a person realizes on his own that I am not doing this job well. Only then can a person get rid of gambling addiction.Otherwise it is not possible.
Gambling addiction is not easy to undo and most time it is caused by friends or boredom. We have so many gamblers who are introverts and the urge of gambling always increased because they have no one to talk to and because of that the gambling urge in them always increase. There are lots of environmental factors that can increase the urge of gambling addiction. We need to be careful the way we gamble to reduced any addiction that can make us a victim of gambling addiction.

I agree.

Being an introvert is not enough to assume that an introvert can get an addiction to gambling. Maybe there's no one around him (physically) that is addicted to gambling, or doesn't have any idea in gambling at all, but the internet is huge, where he can see a lot of people who are bragging their achievement in gambling which can trigger his interest towards gambling than can lead to gambling addiction in the long run.
When there is a case of addiction, it should be handled very subtly. I think that one of the recommendations is to play, but less and less. If a person plays for 5 hours, lower it to 4 hours, then the next week lower it to 3 hours, and so on until it decreases to at least 30 minutes, then to compensate for the time spent inactive in the game, it is necessary to do another activity, such as a sport, keeping busy, reading a book, something that lasts a long time, the idea is to forget a little of everything that has to do with the game, the longer the busy person lasts, the more profit to leave the addiction problem.
