821  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 05, 2024, 05:36:03 PM
Though the UEFA Champions League Competition comes with another vibe, character and mentality. We all know that Arsenal actually lacked it from time, it's reasons why they haven't won the UEFA Champions League Competition till date even when they did well. I look at them again against Manchester City and how they handled them. I feel like they still have something to prove against Bayern Munich and Thomas Tuchel.
It will definitely be on interesting game. Arsenal did stand tall against Manchester City this season. I expect them to disrespect Bayern Munich and go get the win.

I was impressed with the attacking force against Lazio, but can that be repeated yet again against Arsenal?  I would definitely love to see something different.lol.
Arsenal have improved over time, but they also still have shortcomings that hinder them. In fact, this is the season where they have reached the quarter-finals again after not being able to do so for a long time. But unfortunately they have to face a club that is a nightmare for them every time they meet because several times Bayern Munich have also beaten Arsenal. This season I can't say for sure who will win, but what is clear is that both clubs will perform as well as possible.

Arsenal will not allow their bad record every time they face Bayern Munich to continue. They also definitely want to improve their record when they meet Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich is widely considered to be in decline this season, but in my opinion their decline is not that deep, so they are still very dangerous. Arsenal must be prepared for that.

In this first leg, Arsenal will first play as hosts, they must be able to take advantage of that to enable them to win, because winning will make them more confident in the second leg.

AC Milan has started transfer efforts for Joshua Zirkzee. Milan offered 50 million Euro for the player for whom Bologna wanted 75 million Euro. They could also send Saelemaekers along with the money. Zirkzee, who was sent from Bayern, had a good rise in his second season in Bologna and became the favorite of big clubs. However, Bologna's asking price is very high, I think they will soon agree on a price close to the price offered by Milan.
There must be another solution for this. Milan may also be able to include a player in the buy clause. This will probably make Bologna agree to Milan's offer. Bologna does not urgently need money, and I'm sure it will keep its offer very high. MU and Juventus are interested in recruiting him, but Zirkzee has decided to choose Milan instead of MU or Juventus.
It raises some questions regarding his motivation to pick Milan over Juventus and MU. I have heard that Milan has prepared Alexis Saelemaekers to be included in his buying clause.

Munich will still receive 40% of the deal price if Bologna is able to sell him to Macmillan. There is no doubt that Bologna will demand a very high price for him.
If AC Milan doesn't increase their offer, I'm not sure Bologna will let this player go, because Bologna themselves want 75 million to let go of this player, so with the 50 million offered by AC Milan they will reject it. If they want this player then inevitably they have to make a higher offer or they can include a player clause in the offer as you said, that might change Bologna's thinking.

But I'm also not sure how serious they are about wanting this player. and we will probably see that as time goes by. If their current offer is rejected and they come back with a higher offer, then it is very likely that AC Milan really wants this player. But I also don't think AC Milan will fulfill Bologna's wishes and maybe they will come with a final offer of 65 million.

Bologna doesn't need money, but they will look after their players so they can get the numbers they want. they don't want to lose players so easily.

I think no matter how many points they collect at the end of the season, they still only end up second in the Bundesliga this season, and of course for a team as big as Bayern Munich it is a shameful result, I think if you say Bayern Munich's failure is due to the good performance of Leverkusen, isn't it tantamount to you showing how comfortable Bayern Munich is in the league so far,  So they did not expect if there would be surprises that happened like this season, but still in this case Bayern Munich could not deny if their performance dropped dramatically this season when they lost to Dortmund after 10 seasons of dominance.
Actually you're wrong, there are still 7 weeks to go which mean the maximum points they could earn up to 21. If Bayern Munich win at least 5 matches and Leverkusen lose streaks, Bayern Munich will become the winner.

Obviously Bayern Munich weren't expect they can be beaten up like this, especially with an unknown team that never become a champion in Bundesliga.
However, saying that Leverkusen must lose their remaining matches by that much, it seems like an impossible thing, because what they have shown so far has been very good, so it would be very strange if they had to lose more than 13 points in their remaining matches. this season. What will they feel when they experience that? they will definitely feel a huge disappointment and I don't think that will happen.

Their status as defending champions for many years has become a pressure for them when this season they face a difficult situation like this. I don't think anyone would have thought that Leverkusen could perform this well and that even without losing. On the other hand, Bayern Munich actually played within normal limits, and if there were no Leverkusen this season they would still be number 1 in the Bundesliga. However, Leverkusen has emerged as a club that is ready to stop Bayern Munich's dominance this season and it won't be long before they really lock in the title.

West Ham this season is not much better than last season so I think Leverkusen should not encounter significant difficulties if we look at the overall strength of the two teams throughout this season.

However I saw a little bit back and the scary things that happened in the round of 16 when Leverkusen faced Qarabag happened again, we can see that Leverkusen had a very difficult time facing a team that was not much stronger than them.

For this reason, I am sure that the West Ham match will continue to be fierce even though Leverkusen is the favorite and it is also possible that there will be surprises.
So, that's what you have to watch out for, even though statistically West Ham is not better than Leverkusen, West Ham's motivation in the match will be very high, because they also definitely want to be a club that can give defeat to a club that has not experienced defeat this season in the European League. . They will be excited and maybe they will not think about the final result they will get.

In the previous match (in the round of 16), we saw Levekusen experiencing difficulties when facing Qarabag, it is also something that West Ham will definitely learn how Qarabag can apply great pressure and then they will adopt what Qaarabag did. West Ham may not be a big or strong club, but that doesn't mean Leverkusen can just underestimate them, because all the clubs in the competition can do anything that even seems impossible. Xabi must prepare his team well if they want to advance to the next round and increase their chances of becoming Europa League champions this season.

Yes, it is clear that this is a very concerning situation experienced by his family, especially a father who has a big responsibility to meet all the needs of his family, which on the other hand turns out that they have a child who is involved in gambling, especially if their child has entered the addiction phase, which I think we already know about how chronic the interest of someone who is addicted to gambling is until they dare to steal money from a father's hard work.

On the other hand, I don't know the problem about why a child can get involved in gambling, but maybe one of the factors could be that the parents don't pay too much attention and supervise their children so that they are wrong in entering the environment and association where they have an environment that is quite active with gambling which in the end yes, of course, most likely they will definitely be influenced to then get involved and fall into addiction, and my hope is that these children can recover soon and think that gambling is an activity that is very dangerous and can harm everyone around it.

Anyone who makes gambling their source of income will surely find themselves disappointed by the fact that they cannot earn anything from it. Because gambling cannot be used as a source of income for someone - especially in games based on luck, which have a low chance of winning such as slots, a gambler cannot expect to win continuously on that game.
It is better for gamblers to look for other side income, rather than having to rely on gambling to save them, because gambling is not the solution to one's financial problems.

I think it is also difficult to determine gambling can provide additional (side) income. Because with every bet you make, it means you have to spend money which is more likely to run out than provide income. If we say gambling can be used as a side job, then it is the same as you are gambling not for fun but for income. If you lose, can you accept not getting the expected income and stop for gambling or you will continue gambling till get a side income as your target?

It's not difficult but I think it's almost impossible and maybe even never can be, or I mean gambling can never be used as a means of income even if it's just a side income because of course the results at the end of the session are always about uncertainty, one of the reasons is because the possibility of losing is always involved at the end of a gambling session which makes you probably end up losing rather than winning, this is always a possible thing that happens which is the reason why we often say gambling cannot and should not be used as a place to earn.

The possibility of losing or losing is always the biggest problem, and if for example in gambling there is no possibility of losing then yes you can make gambling a place to earn, but the problem is that it is not a gamble if it basically does not involve risk, and yes the worry is that what happens is that you actually experience more losses than earning, because when you have the intention and purpose of earning honestly I'm not sure you can accept the fact of losing when luck doesn't come which in some cases this situation is more likely to make gamblers dominated by emotions that ultimately chase losses and what happens is that they experience more losses. So this is the reason why gambling should not be used as a place to earn, it is too impossible and too risky.
827  Other / Off-topic / Re: Does having children have an influence on gambling habits? on: April 04, 2024, 02:13:50 PM
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 I became a father, my life changed. I realized that now not only my well-being depends on me, but also the well-being of my family. That's why I've become much more careful in gambling. I realized that risking too much means jeopardizing not only my finances, but also the future of my loved ones. Now I prefer safer ways of entertaining and investing to ensure our family has a stable future.
My children are my main treasure, and now it's very scary to take risks, you can say it has greatly influenced my style of playing poker, for example.

Yes, that's right, when you have entered the family phase or that means when you have entered a new life where you already have your own family, it is clear that the living dependents that you have to pay for will increase, where you not only pay for your living needs but you also have to pay for all the living needs of your small family such as your wife and children because you have become a father who has a big responsibility. And if in a situation like this you are still involved in gambling then obviously there is something that you should pay more attention to which is that you must really be able to manage, control and limit your gambling activities in various aspects such as for example in terms of time and especially budget allocation.

Do not be one-sided, or the point is not to prioritize gambling activities over family interests, but in some cases often gamblers who are married, especially those who are addicted, fall into and get carried away in excessive gambling so that in the end their family relationships are neglected. So the point is that you should really be able to be firm in terms of putting a lot of restrictions on your gambling activities so that everything can be balanced.

828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: April 04, 2024, 01:52:38 PM

Skills or knowledge is another thing which is only useful to help you to get closer to the chances of winning, but no matter how good you are at analysis, the final result of the gambling session is still unknown, which means that even if you feel that you have good skills, on the other hand, you also need to have good risk acceptance skills which we usually call responsible gamblers who are supported by several aspects such as patience, management and control, as you said that this is the perfect combination to increase the chances of winning by having good skills and also having good risk management to keep everything in balance.

Timing is an excellent gambling technique, sometimes when gambling, I feel it's the right time to wager a bigger amount, and it works out as expected, and I'll get a win. Most times I don't win, but the fun gets funnier the moment there is perfect timing. Players also need to take up the responsibility of losing their money. Since the game isn't under the control of any gambler. Hence, while gambling the player should focus on what's in there for him to benefit, like analytical, management, and self-control skills. Money was not the primary purpose while gambling was established. In my response, gambling was made available to help test gambler's risk control, money management, etc.

That's the reason why managerial personnel tend to gamble to enhance their skills especially when under the ever-increasing pressure of gambling. However, these skills could help facilitate the winning possibility of a gambler, but it's not certain. These skills when applied in the real-world business, work like a charm in improving productivity and organizational growth. Critical thinking can be harnessed through gambling, these skills are learned in online classes and people pay to learn them, if a player is focused on observing his games and understanding how gambling works, he could develop an outstanding critical thinking skill without paying a dime. Especially when he considers his lost money as a fine for having fun.

Gambling can be very tempting because there are so many things that look tantalizing there which can make us lose track of time or mean falling further and further without realizing it which in turn has the potential to make us lose more money and this is why it is very important to apply time management or mean applying arrangements about when to start and when to stop regardless of winning or losing. Speaking of timing, yes I understand what you are saying that indeed I think we all must have felt that we feel that this is the right time to gamble in large amounts and usually feelings like this arise when we see something very tempting such as for example a game round that looks very good in gambling types such as slots that ultimately make us increase the amount of bets because we think that this is a good opportunity to get a big win, but in the end yes most of the time it ends in disappointment rather than the results that we expect.

True, the best and safe approach is when we gamble without making money as the main focus, just think of it as a practice activity to test about how good your skills are and also how good patience, control, management, risk acceptance and risk acceptance in yourself, and the rest we should focus more on just having fun with filling your empty time.
829  Other / Off-topic / Re: Can family members help a gambling addict? on: April 04, 2024, 12:49:48 PM
Yes, usually it's like that, where as a whole, usually gamblers, especially those who have entered the addiction phase, are synonymous with always keeping it a secret that they have entered the addiction phase, they hide this from their families because they are afraid that their families will scold them or even throw them out of business. home, I know this because I am in an environment that is quite active in gambling, almost most of my friends are gamblers and some are already addicted, and yes, it is clear that hiding gambling habits from other people, especially family, is a problem that causes addiction. that in itself is difficult to overcome.
The fear of being judged or rejected by family and friends has a very huge role to play when it to being stuck in gambling addiction, because even when you've actually realised that you're addicted and it's causing you a great deal of harm, speaking up or seeking help would be totally out of the picture because they're scared of being rejected or criticized. This makes it really hard for people to get help. On one hand, you really can't blame people who decide not to speak up if we're to consider where the stigma against gambling addiction comes from. In most societies today, there are moral judgement against gambling as a whole. They are often related to the association between gambling and crime or the general belief that gambling is generally an irresponsible and non respectable activities. This often makes it difficult for people to open up.

True, this fear also has a big influence which is because they always maintain the idea of keeping their gambling habits a secret then slowly the situation will get worse which is very likely that over time the level of addiction will enter the chronic phase which is a very concerning situation, and obviously for the problem the impact will also be significant. The problem is as you mentioned that when they experience a big problem such as losing a large amount of money then they will be very confused to seek help because of course if they tell other people and ask for help such as family members then it is the same as suicide, or that means they are looking for new problems which as I said earlier that their family will definitely scold them or even kick them out.

However, this is indeed a quite confusing situation for them, and honestly I can't imagine how much pressure they will feel due to the many problems they experience as a result of gambling itself, which even in situations like this it is very possible for them to finally make decisions based on desperation, which I have even seen some desperate to end their lives.

830  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are not to gamble. on: April 03, 2024, 10:49:06 PM
It may sound as something hilarious but it is the truth, there are people that cannot manage being hungry at all and get into a terrible mood if that happens, and that can be very dangerous when a person is an environment in which they can take all kind of reckless decisions if they are not careful, so people should only gamble when they feel they can manage the pressure that gambling for fun can throw at them, which is no small by any means.

Yeah, it's not hilarious at all. Hunger pangs totally throw off my concentration and put me in a crappy mood.  And mixing an empty stomach with gambling is just asking for trouble and  at least for me (maybe for you too?), trying to gamble when I'm starved leads me to make some stupid calls.  I get impatient, start trying to win back losses out of desperation, and just fail to think stuff through rationally. So, to keep gambling fun and not let it get outta hand I need a full belly and clear head.

This is why it is always recommended to gamble when you have free time and favorable conditions, if you are hungry or doing other things then yes, of course, prioritize things that are far more important than forcing to continue gambling because however conditions such as hunger or conditions in the middle when you are doing other activities will certainly be able to interfere with your gambling activities and one of them eliminates focus in terms of considering something to make the right decision in gambling, in the end you might rush and make decisions that are not right.

After all, there is absolutely no rule for anyone to over-prioritize or force gambling, simply put if for example you are feeling bored with the free time you have then yes it can be used as the right time to gamble, but if for example you are doing other activities or for example when you are gambling and then you feel hungry or someone is calling you for other more important matters then obviously prioritize something much more important, because you can still gamble at another time in a calm situation without any distractions.

How long can they follow this kind of "strategy"? more than anything... how old are they? Smiley
I mean... if you are student thats ok... but if you have a family to feed ...
if you combine these two factors directly linked to "time" you realize that it is practically impossible in the long term, unless they are people who want to "justify" their money Roll Eyes

Well yes, if you have the pressure to make money you won't get the pleasure you want the first place gambling. Unless you are a professional who have rigid rules to follow and can make money consistently, then this won't work for you. The pressure itself will only lead to unnecessary temptation like impulsiveness, overleveraging, over risking, over gambling, which is essential not a good position to be with. You cannot set aside other responsibilities in your life like being a father and a provider, especially if you want to make gambling as the main source of your income.

I think the idea and the idea of making gambling as a place or a means to make money is very clear that along the way you will only experience a lot of pressure, because there are certain concerns related to what you bring as capital with the aim of being multiplied while on the other hand gambling is not only about the chances of winning but the possibility of losing is also a sure thing that will happen, and this idea will even make you not feel the pleasure because in every session you will only think and focus on winning along with feeling the tension due to the worry of the possibility of losing.

The idea of gambling for income always tends to lead to overreaction, that's for sure, because of the hope and goal of making money so you are likely to gamble in an aggressive way such as putting a large budget because you want to get a big win, but isn't gambling always about uncertainty about the outcome? Obviously, and this is why it makes no sense and is not recommended to put the goal of earning on gambling, because it will happen exactly the opposite where you will lose a large amount of money because you are too excessive in treating gambling.

Every parent has a big responsibility towards their children if they already have children. It's different when they are young and don't limit their gambling when they have children as a parent, you have to be good at managing finances so you don't experience financial problems. Sometimes gambling can cause problems for the family if they can't afford it manage your finances well so it's better to prioritize your children and wife and gambling is number two when we want to do it just for entertainment.

Gambling always involves money, or simply put you will only be able to gamble or engage in gambling when you have money because the name gambling is always about the activity of risking something valuable that you have and one of the most common is money, and obviously by having a gambling habit then inevitably you must be able to balance everything well, especially when you are married or already have children, which means you must be able to give full responsibility to your family by meeting all the needs of your family while on the other hand you also need to set aside money for your gambling habit.

In some cases usually in the end the gambling habit even causes problems in the family's financial balance which means that they are not able to control their gambling activities properly and instead tend to lead to a lot of excessive actions on gambling activities which in turn disrupt the family's financial balance, and yes it is true as you said that the most important thing is household affairs or that means prioritizing family needs over gambling, because after all gambling is an activity full of uncertainty and if you are too serious in treating gambling then it will only cause a lot of problems with your finances.

Villa will be fighting for a Champions League spot and I think it'll be a good match... The head-to-head stats are a good indicator... The last time Villa beat City away was in 2012 in the League Cup and in 2007 in the EPL... What's most funny is that the last time Villa drew in Manchester was 30 years ago... All that said, Villa have little chance today, but I think it will still be a nice match...
Even though on paper Manchester City is very favored, Aston Villa did not just let Manchester City beat them easily. Obviously this is a very difficult match for Aston Villa, but they will fight tooth and nail to be able to get at least 1 point in this season. Maybe they will implement a defensive strategy, because it is very difficult for them to attack because that will create gaps that Manchester City can exploit.

Manchester City also realize that they cannot afford to lose points, because losing points will take them away from the title race. I'm sure they will attack completely in this match and maybe they won't let Aston Villa linger with the ball for long. I think they will dominate this match by continuing to attack. The reason is that they always play games like that in every match.

I hope Aston Villa put up meaningful resistance which will make the match very interesting, even though on paper they are not favored at all.
834  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 03, 2024, 05:58:28 PM

You probably don't know that this is a semi final match so there is no chance of a draw in this match but yes if both sides score equal number of goals in the first 90 minutes of the game then it is considered a draw for betting purposes.  But as a semi-final match, there will be no draw in this match.  So if both sides are level in the first 90 minutes then extra time will be given but if there is no solution then a final result will be given by penalties. In the last match Juventus won the match and considered for the final and the team who wins from here will play the final match with Juventus. I see Atalanta as a bit of a possibility in this match but I'm not sure about it, I'm also confused enough

You probably don't know how the Coppa Italia works. First of all there are two rounds per duel, namely the first leg and the second leg. So of course this game can end in a draw. Why would it not be possible to end in a draw? And even if you didn't get this wrong, it was talked about placing bets and the game can of course end in a draw after 90 minutes. A draw is a valid outcome no matter whether the game in question is a final, is getting decided in just one round or whatever else. After 90 minutes the can be tied and that is a valid option to place a bet on. You better do some research on the subject matter next time.
I'm also a little confused by what the OP said about the match, because even though this is the semifinals it is very possible if we bet on a draw. You are right that there will be two rounds in the first leg and the second leg, and even though the result is a draw, betting can be done during the 90 minutes of normal time.

Talking further about the Copa Italia, Juventus has a big chance of becoming champions in the Copa Italia, at least that can cure their failure in Serie A this season. in the first leg of the semifinal against Lazio, they were able to win the match with a score of 2-0, that is very good capital that they can bring to the second leg. Because in the second leg they only need a draw to advance to the final round. With the advantage they currently have, it makes their task easier even though they will be playing at Lazio's headquarters. However, if they lose again, I can't stop thinking about them, because that means they have missed another big opportunity to be in the final and become champions.
835  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: April 03, 2024, 05:41:45 PM
I think Cadiz will be relegated this season. They have tough matches against Girona, Barcelona and Real Madrid. I think they will be impossible to win. On the other hand, Celta Vigo will face relatively easy opponents. Their toughest opponent in the remaining matches this season will be against Atletico. Celta Vigo benefits from the remaining fixtures. I think Cadiz, Granada and Almeria will definitely be relegated this season.
If you look at the tough matches that Cadiz will face, it is very unlikely that Cadiz will not be relegated this season. Because Cadiz apart from having to win to have more points than Celta Vigo, the Cadiz team also has to hope that Celta Vigo loses the remaining match because both of them are now still three points away, where Celta Vigo is in a safer position than Cadiz. So I also think that Cadiz will have a harder time keeping themselves in La Liga next season.
The hope of surviving is still quite open, but Cadiz must work harder to be able to achieve point after point which, judging from the opponents they will face, is very difficult. They also need something that will make the clubs above them currently drop points, because otherwise they won't be able to stay in La Liga.

This is a very difficult situation for them, because apart from having to work hard, they also hang their fate in the hands of other clubs, which is actually a very disappointing thing for a club.

I will not conclude quickly at this time, because however their chance is still there. Maybe we should first see how they will work hard to always get points even though it is difficult. But if they get really lucky at the end of this season then it's likely they will survive. It's still a question of who will follow Almeria and Granada to get relegated this season, so let's just see until the end of the season.

This doesn't look like a difficult game for Paris St German side to win, with high degree of certainly, PSG will crush their opponent team Rennes with ease, and go through the final stage of the competition , they have their men equal to the task ,I already take side on them to win ,but what I can tell is the exact score but 2:1 would be a nice prediction outcome of this game, since Rennes would tend to fight hard to try to stop PSG in winning this match.
Yes, this will definitely be an easy match for Paris Saint Germain in the Francis Cup, because in Francis there is no better club than them. Maybe Rennes will try hard to beat Paris Saint Germain, but with the strength that Paris Siant Germain has, it will be very difficult if Rennes wants to win this match.

Paris Saint Germain should also be able to maximize this match by winning, because on paper they are the favorites. It would be a shame if they failed to win a relatively easy match like this, although perhaps they will not prioritize this competition too much because the Champions League will always be their main priority.

Paris Saint Germain has all the advantages needed for them to become winners in this match. In terms of squad depth, in terms of performance they are superior to their opponents in this Francis Cup. So they should be able to finish it well. For me there is no reason for them not to win this match.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Castro after Al Nassr won with a big score, they got new honors as the top goalscorer with the number of appearances this season and as the coach with the most wins over the season.
Personally, Ronaldo has been very successful in the Saudi Pro League at the age of 39. He is still very sharp as a goal scoring machine. Now with Ronaldo's goal, the answer is why the Al Nassr striker before Ronaldo was sold.

What is your opinion? I think Al Nassr should be able to win the Saudi Pro League title.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored another hat trick in this match, adding to his goal collection. He really showed that he is still very hungry for goals with Al Nassr.

Regarding the title, if it was determined by individual performance then Ronaldo could become champion, but this is a team game and as a team there is still a team that is better than them, namely Al Hilal. Al Hilal is showing a very good performance and they are better than Al Nassr, therefore Al Nassr cannot give tough competition to Al Hilal and they are preparing to become champions this season.

Even at his old age, Ronaldo can still show extraordinary performances. He can still be a fierce player when he is in the opponent's defense area. But unfortunately he still cannot bring AL Nassr to success this season. Maybe if he is still retained by Al Nassr, he can lead his team to win the title next season. However, he was quite happy to see him still playing this well.

Skills or knowledge is another thing which is only useful to help you to get closer to the chances of winning, but no matter how good you are at analysis, the final result of the gambling session is still unknown, which means that even if you feel that you have good skills, on the other hand, you also need to have good risk acceptance skills which we usually call responsible gamblers who are supported by several aspects such as patience, management and control, as you said that this is the perfect combination to increase the chances of winning by having good skills and also having good risk management to keep everything in balance.

Agree with you, we cannot guarantee gambling results with any predictions. We may be able to predict well through analysis and using various tools to help to decide before betting. However, it is still a prediction, not mathematics that has definite results. In every gambling process, people will focus on what they saw before to use as data. if he cannot confirm the data, then the results of gambling cannot be predicted, this happens in all types of gambling, especially slot games.

Yes because after all gambling is still gambling which is full of uncertainty, don't rely too much and be too sure of the skills and knowledge you have, even though according to some people you have good skills, for example in sports, but still you have to understand that this is a gambling activity which is always about winning or losing, which means as I said above that no matter how good your skills are, the possibility of losing is something that can never be avoided entirely.

On the other hand when you are too confident in your knowledge, experience and skills what I am worried about is that you will most likely feel more disappointed when in the end it turns out that the results at the end of the session are not what you expected, and usually this is a situation that can really trigger a lot of out of control actions that lead to many dangers such as making impulsive decisions based on desperation. One of the reasons why gambling is full of uncertainty is because obviously the outcome of gambling is always about two possibilities, namely winning or losing, where winning is just a chance but losing is a sure thing when luck doesn't come at the right time, I think we should all understand what "prediction" means, there is no certainty in it because everything is always about "possibility", especially in the type of slot game as you mentioned friend.

Basically, everything will come back to depending on the gambler himself, or the point is that it depends on whether the gambler is able or willing to accept some help from other parties such as family or professionals or not, because the reason why addiction is difficult to overcome is because the gambler himself really does not want to be open about what he is experiencing so that it makes it difficult for us or professionals to provide something in the form of appropriate assistance as needed, because addiction has different levels, Some are still in the early stages of addiction and some have entered the chronic phase and also the point is that the problem is that if for example the gambler does not want or is not ready to stop then obviously whatever help you do will have no effect, because addiction is something that is in the human brain that leads to habits, so if for example you want to change someone's habits then we have to make them believe and believe in some of the steps and support that we provide to help them get out of the addiction phase, and this is a difficult thing.

So I think it all depends on the "acceptance" of the gambler themselves, simply put if they don't want to stop then they will definitely continue to do it and also for the family problem honestly I believe that no matter how bad your family is they will definitely care about you and they definitely hope that you can change or get out of these bad habits.
Well, that's one problem for the gambler that he is not willing to open it up to his relatives because they don't want the others know that they're in serious addiction.

That's the first thought that comes to their mind and think that it's going to be as hard as it can be and they'd be pressed on by their relatives and won't be there to help.

It is the assumption that the addicted gamblers make and that's why instead of letting others know what they struggle with, they choose to remain silent about it.

Yes, usually it's like that, where as a whole, usually gamblers, especially those who have entered the addiction phase, are synonymous with always keeping it a secret that they have entered the addiction phase, they hide this from their families because they are afraid that their families will scold them or even throw them out of business. home, I know this because I am in an environment that is quite active in gambling, almost most of my friends are gamblers and some are already addicted, and yes, it is clear that hiding gambling habits from other people, especially family, is a problem that causes addiction. that in itself is difficult to overcome.

This is one of the reasons why gambling addiction is difficult to overcome, and maybe in my opinion it all comes back to the gambler himself, or what this means is that overcoming gambling addiction always depends on how the gambler himself is because if for example they still have high ambitions for gambling. These people still really want to be involved in gambling activities, so it's useless even if their family helps them or even forces them to stop. Still, I think they will definitely still be involved in gambling secretly.

Honestly I'm quite confused to answer that because I don't have that kind of experience or I mean I haven't experienced that kind of situation, which is a situation that is full of a lot of pressure because of the defeat you experienced so you think of betting all in, and I believe it's an act of desperation that you do because it's difficult to reach the recovery phase. However, for me, gambling is not an activity that should be prioritized, so I think you can guess that I gamble without any seriousness and I only bet small amounts.

Like for example when I have a leftover balance in my local bank account from buying something on the marketplace such as goods, food or whatever it is I will usually gamble with the leftover money which is quite a small amount of around $2 - $4 and that is also quite rare, meaning that I don't have any plan to organize my gambling time because for me gambling is not an activity that should be prioritized regardless of whether I win or lose when I gamble.
