I will not mention any particular gambling casinos, but what are your thought if the casino or casinos with good feedback from the community, but with one unresolved scam accusation but from all angles, the accusation is legit with all the screenshots, transaction hash email conversation are provided by the complainant lets say he is not allowed to withdraw his earnings amounting to $100k but from all angles the accusation is valid, don't you think with thousand good feedback, its enough for the casino to lose his reputation with one legit accusation.
First I think something, when a casino does not offer the withdrawal service, that is already a reason to be extremely careful, when the winnings amount to more than $100k or similar to that amount it is much more worrying for the player, because if the casino is of a scamming nature, they will start making excuses, maybe the deposit, that they are not processing withdrawals for X reason, that they are in maintenance, that they have to send some KYC, that is what casinos that are usually do fraudulent, however if they do not disburse I do not know International Law very well, and I do not know or am not sure if it is reportable before a court, but I think that I could go that way, the comments in that case are useless, I think that a legit casino pays out the money to the player without making excuses.

I think it is a good marketing idea to associate one's business with reputable authorities in certain niches.

Personally, I feel more safe to use a casino if it has a successful collaboration with one of the bigger thought leaders on this forum. I'm not referring necessarily to bounty managers, but a good quality and well managed campaign can certainly make a difference. The casino quality needs to match the "ambassadors" though. You can't hide the crocodile behind the bush. Also a reputable bounty manager won't usually take on work unless it meets certain standards.
I think this is one of the best answers I have found in this thread, because I don't think it can be better described, honestly I am usually a person who when I see a casino that is managed by a recognized campaign manager I don't worry about the site, I know that the manager would not let anything strange happen and I am sure that in case something bad or not good would stop the campaign just to see unusual behavior, here we are all human they can also make mistakes and if they do I think it is understandable and we cannot hit it with a hammer, in every place, in every casino, in every bet there will always be risks, and we are the ones who decide whether to take them or not.

since yesterday it is 100% perfect :
Mikkel Kaufmann is leaving hsv to play for karlsruher sc next season.
karlsruhe has lost its top scorer Philipp Hofmann. Hofmann moved from karlsruhe to vfl bochum in the first bundesliga.
i personally think mikkel is good and hope he plays a good season in bochum. he is a very likeable person.

good luck Mikkel !

I don't know if that is the best decision that could have been taken.
Mikkel Kaufmann might have had a better successful time with HSV compared to Karlsruhe sc.
Because HSV is more successful.
I know he is a good player and I hope he will be able to have a good performance in his new team.

But Kaufmann did not play very often for Hamburger SV from the start of the game. He was always a reserve. He also was a loanplayer from FC Copenhagen. So it was more a decision from the two clubs not to keep him in the team. I do not know how big the competition at Karlsruhe is and whether he can play more there.

I think that Kaufmann is a very complete player, but if the Club and specifically the technical director left him on the bench as a reserve, I think he would have his reasons, in training the technical directors see the performance and attitudes of the players, who make an effort more and those who fight to win the position, sometimes talent is not enough because there is the case of James Rodriguez, he is a player who does not like to train because he only trusts his talent, and Zidane did not like this when I was at Real Madrid, of course I'm not saying that this is the case with Kaufmann, it's just mere speculation, apart from the fact that HSV is seen as one of the most likely to win this 2nd Bundesliga.

7 or 8 million euros transfer fee. that's how much hsv wanted for Vagnoman. that was the big dream of money.
but hsv is now only getting 3.7 million euros plus bonuses. any other club would have got 10 million for Vagnoman.
the transfer is to be officially announced today. i think it's a good move. the guy is injured too often.  Grin
Josha ..........good luck in stuttgart   Wink
Yes, it's a problem when they get injured very often, usually these types of players usually put them in at the end of games, or they give them half an hour, that's what happens to DiMaria noodle, the Argentine.

There is a feeling inside me like that we will see the biggest teams of South America doing something in the World Cup this time. These teams are obviously Argentina and Brazil. One of them can even win the World Cup title also. I see a huge potential in both of these teams and I think Brazil are a little ahead of Argentina now. Their last head-to-head ended up with a 0-0 draw in the World Cup qualifiers but I like Brazil's style more. They had a more successful qualifier stage than Argentina also. I wouldn't say no to seeing Brazil winning the title.

Brazil and Argentina are the big teams from South America this tournament, both qualified without losing any matches. That's a remarkable achievement as the next two qualified teams, Uruguay and Ecuador, lost 6 matches each:



This puts them into a clear different category.

But also we have to remember that Uruguay has won the World Cup the same amount of times as Argentina (and two more times before the world cup tournament officially started with this format, that's why they have 4 stars in their uniform). Uruguay is always a team that can end up winning.

As for what you say about Ecuador, you are absolutely right, because Ecuador at the last minute managed to secure it, because one mistake was enough to leave it out, and not only that, later they had a lawsuit from Chile after they were classified, Apparently they played with a Chilean who did not have his papers in order very well, and they reported that to FIFA, many speculated that the team that was going to take the place of Ecuador was Peru, Colombia or, failing that, Italy, Ecuador had a very difficult and more than all the player in question, who asked the same technical director to be removed from the team so as not to harm the team, that was a great drama, finally FIFA ruled that the request was taken but that they decided that it did not apply, Chile was bored and Ecuador celebrating, that happened very recently.

8647  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: KSA Initiates Slot Arcades Investigation as Role Model Ad Ban Looms on: July 08, 2022, 03:23:48 PM
Today I read in the news that the Dutch Gambling Authority, has prohibited the use of role models in gambling ads. This law will take effect from June 30. The gambling industry is very regulated. Now casinos will have to get super creative and think outside the box to create captivating adverts. Also, investigations are ongoing regarding the failure of some gambling operators to check and prevent players who registered on the Cruks self-exclusion scheme from gaining access control in slot machine arcades. And they risk getting punished if they are found guilty.

Again, this begs the question. Does self-exclusion actually work? And in this case, will the gamblers be punished also for failing to take responsibility for their recovery from addiction despite registering in the self-exclusion scheme?


Bit unusual to jump from a government regulator banning a source of advertising, to whether self exclusion really works? As you say, gambling operators (or alcohol, or tobacco companies) are always looking for ways to get around existing laws and entering new sectors that might be under regulated, that's how these supposed role models seem to be the next target. It's looking like major football clubs might soon be banned from accepting betting sponsors and they reach a huge audience. After that we're likely to see a flood of celebrity endorsements while it is still available, which is likely to get regulated in most countries like the Dutch are doing now. It'll be interesting to see which companies go further "offshore" to avoid the regulation or whether they comply and lose a possibly lucrative advertising source. I guess it's the celebrity role models who would pay any penalties in this scenario..

The truth is that I am surprised that a country with so many freedoms has imposed something like this, I do not understand it, perhaps I would understand it from a country like China, Russia, Venezuela, which are clearly communist countries, but it is somewhat contradictory, however it is very difficult, because according to the inflows of money that these games show, I don't think that the bookmakers will remain with their arms crossed, they have a great business model there and it is obvious that they will look for a way to enter, perhaps with advertising that they do not be so demonstrative or use certain words that it prompts a form of fun without naming the keyword.

8649  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: July 08, 2022, 02:38:45 PM
I started seeing the probability of Zidane to manage PSG as lower now. It depends on whether he goes for the France job actually. Deschamps' contract is running on December 31, 2022. Therefore Zidane is going to need to be patient until the World Cup ends. However I wonder if France are even thinking of parting their ways with Deschamps too. Maybe they will extend his contract depending on his success in the tournament. If we take this into account I reckon PSG will continue with Pochettino or maybe they will sign an unexpected name.
Yeah it seems that zidane is waiting for that france team management spot otherwise psg would've signed him i wish he would go to psg at least one season until the end of the world cup i don't think the frensh federation will change a manager before the world cup since it would be risky i think zidane with psg will do wonders and he can even win the champions league.

Why don't we think he can coach both teams at the same time? Maybe Zidane will manage both France and Paris SG teams together? I see him as a coach with a very good technical capacity. I liked it very much in his Real Madrid career. I believe he will be very successful if he becomes the coach of Paris SG.
The truth is that I did not know that it was allowed for him to train a team from any league including the French and the French national team, I think that if it is so, why not the Sheikh give Deschamps a good recognition and place Zidane, I think they have the capacity to do it, and so they assure Zidane, because between PSG and the French national team the national team weighs much more, the fact of having two greats like Mbappé and Benzema together at least would give me I'm a little scared to face them, because I think both players are at their best, and if they get to the World Cup well, they'll do wonders.
We are surely going to see the Messi Neymar mbappe trio again in PSG because Messi is staying in PSG as well as mbappe, and Neymar has finally extended his contract with PSG till 2027.
World Cup is coming and Neymar will not move to another club and face with uncertainty there. In PSG, he does not have a most important position like when he joined them but at least his position is safe in PSG squad. Mbappe takes over the most important role from Neymar in last 2 seasons. The transfer of Messi did not change it in the last season too.
Saying his position is safe for now I think it's too much with his current condition.
At the moment he is facing problems with the club leadership and if you look at the words of the club leader who said something ambiguous some time ago it is clear that this is code that Neymar is not safe enough there.
But indeed I quite agree with you that even though his current condition is not too uncertain he will definitely remain at PSG next season and actually the issue of leaving is now slowly disappearing because no club is brave with Neymar's current salary.

Both Neymar and Messi I don't know what has happened to them, perhaps that flame that makes them shine has made them overshadow the immense talent of Mbappé's youth, when Messi joined PSG I told myself that he was going to do his thing with Neymar because both players They know each other very well, they can make an unstoppable duo, but with a player like Mbappé I would make a deadly trident, but things have not turned out that way. For this World Cup I think there can be favorable changes for these players, I hope so.
8650  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does bitcoin dump have any impact on gamblers ? on: July 08, 2022, 01:46:31 PM
Gamblers around the world use crypto and bitcoin to play the bets. Do they really care if the bitcoin prices dump hard? I know traders are directly impacted by this dump, and investors are also in panic but what about gamblers. Their motive is to play gamble and they may not be a concerned if the price of bitcoin is declining sharply?
I've been thinking to myself about this question, as I never imagined this situation.
I don't know, maybe yes but maybe not, I believe that each gambler thinks differently about this great devaluation that we are currently having.

I imagine it doesn't affect so much, because there is a great chance that gamblers will still act even with this situation we are currently having.

I think that one of the ways that players have so that the price of BTC does not affect them in its fall is that they consider BTC as such and do not see it at its face value in fiat, because it can bring stress and thoughts like selling, We all know that having 1BTC will be the fortune of the future, this is something that we must be clear about and that the speculative market will always have falls, but for players the best thing they can do if they play is to give it the same value, that is, as I said in another thread, fully apply the statement that 1BTC=1BTC, if they play that way I don't think there will be any problem.

The only problem from gambling that i have is a sometimes hard to catch my breath but this only happens if im really nervous and angry so that dosent happen often but when it happens its a little hard to breath. Also sometimes i get headaches but that lasts for a small period
As a recommendation, ask your doctor how you can avoid this type of stress, because it is very likely that it can raise your blood pressure and blood pressure is a very silent enemy. I have a friend who had symptoms similar to yours and he had a Cardiovascular Accident. They scared him in an emergency and some time later he managed to recover, and he had the beginning of an embolism, currently he cannot have any type of stress, he goes to his therapies to improve the numbness of the face.

I am not saying that this happens to you, but the stroke that the doctor gave him told him that it was due to emotions, sometimes the body does not know how to get rid of the stress that certain activities produce and sometimes it explodes that way, really be very careful.

It is difficult for me to know at what level a professional player is considered, which is very different from trading, because I consider that a trader is professional when he handles figures of $1M and above, and if I take that amount as a reference, I think I am very very far from it, so it does not apply there, I would rather say that I am an occasional player, sometimes social, because there are times when I am interested in playing thinking like in the case of sui poker and only if when it comes to tournaments PVP, but when they are games like slots, I would be a player of enjoyment, who uses the slots with some money (little) that is necessary for enjoyment.

That's already advanced thinking. Just go with the flow.

Follow safety protocols. Follow health standards. Obey rules. Obey others. Be vigilant. Always take care of yourself. Even if there will be a pandemic in the future, at least we now experienced being on it. We are not totally noob now on what to do.

Do your respective work while the world is doing its best to eliminate the health threats around the globe.

Well, I think that for now, we have to take things in a calmer way, we can't fall into stress, I think it's better to focus on attacking and staying healthy without any type of disease, covid-19 or any other type, later we will see how the other things can be treated, but if we start thinking about what is coming in the future, what we will achieve is great stress and our health is what will be affected, for now if the covid-19 continues attacking, at some point herd immunity will come, that there will be sometimes people who are affected, but it will pass, we should not get into our heads or worry more than normal,because that and we begin to think that the only way is to depend on our luck in a casino, it is not something encouraging.
8655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: July 07, 2022, 03:40:06 PM
I feel in this transfer market that most teams don't seem to be in a rush to buy players. Is this just my feeling? We can count players who actually make deals and there aren't too many. Could they make a move before the transfer window closes? Or maybe they are not interested in bringing in a lot of new players.
Some teams who have what they want to do next season have already done their recruitment to prepare and blend well from preseason.The best time to do business is now that their is no much pressure on the players and their agent,the only problem now is that players are always very expensive at this period because they will be having in mind that they still have more time to do business with other clubs,but deadline transfer is always like a come now or never come again thing,or accept this offer now or leave it,so it makes the players go to whatever club that needs them cheap.
But a team like Arsenal,they've started doing their thing and wants to conclude business by the start of preseason.

Yes, I also think that Arsenal is doing it, in a very relaxed way but it does it, the other teams I think do not need changes, the changes I see are for teams from other leagues such as the Spanish and the Italian, since their leagues are not having as much boom as the Premier League, and this soccer thing is passing the baton, because years ago the one who dominated the largest of the markets was Italian soccer, because they had many stars, then that leadership passed to the Spanish League Now the Premier League has much more public, I think it's because of the consolidation of great teams, you can't fight against that because you can only see the level of the PL in the UCL, that's where the best football is shown.

As for Erik ten Hag, he is definitely a great manager for Manchester United. He has had a successful time with Ajax so far and he wants to maintain this success with Manchester United also. I don't have any doubt that he will find the right tactic and strategies for the team here. However they need to focus on the transfers first. If they make the team solid before the beginning of the season then I will be looking forward to seeing their performance. I hope we watch a better Manchester United this time.
Erik Ten Hag is a good coach and will all know he has proven himself at Ajax but this is a different league and a different team. It will be a whole different experience here in England and Manchester United is in a state where they need a savior to change the situation of the club and get them back to winning days. The big question now is can Erik Ten Hag fit in that shoe for Manchester United? We have seen some managers tried to change the situation and failed, we hope his case will be different this time, lets wait and see when the season kicks off.

Erik ten Hag is trying to do very well and recover Manchester United from what they have been suffering recently. he is making big changes in the team and I think good results are on the way for Manchester United. Even though I have not heard anything about him having special plans for Cristiano Ronaldo, I think he would also like to have this player on the team because Cristiano Ronaldo is the player who has played very well and better than any other there in the team and also scored the most amount of goals from anyone in the team as well. I have no doubt that we are going to see better Manchester United results.

Even at that time Mourinho was predicted to be the savior of Manchester United but the special one could still fail, especially Erik ten Hag who even only became part of the new EPL at this time throughout his career. When he was a player Erik ten Hag only played for teams in the Netherlands league and even as a coach, Erik ten Hag had never previously managed an EPL team. So how can you be so sure of someone even new to the EPL, that even Pep Guardiola at the time of managing Manchester City didn't immediately succeed in the title race. But Pep and ten Hag's records are clearly Pep is better where Pep has experience in managing big teams, when compared to Erik ten Hag I think his record is not as good as Pep's so I personally will still doubt him for his first season with Manchester United.


It would be good or it would have been good for Mou to stay at Man United, because the rivalry between Man City and Pep Guardiola with Mou would be quite a poem, because those two have disliked each other since they were in Spain, Mou with Real and Pep with Barcelona, it is a pity that United have fallen so much, apparently the problems took over not only the club but affected all the players.
8656  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: July 07, 2022, 02:31:34 PM
Here are the groups for the World Cup:



The Final will have one team from the top row and one from the bottom row.

This means that the final for the World Cup 2022 can actually be Brazil vs Argentina, both teams have been defeated zero times so far.

That would be an incredible final.

Yes, I am sure that many predictions, many parlays will have those finals that will be heart-stopping, it is possible that this is the case, because both teams are very well prepared, and want to make history, also everyone thinks of Messi, of CR7, but very few they are acknowledging what Neymar Jr does, and this player cannot go unnoticed, he is a very complete player, in addition to everything that has happened, it is possible that he already has a very professional maturity and commitment to his team, it was discussed a lot of him when he was at Santos in Brazil, after he went to Barcelona the fever towards him decreased, it is said that Real Madrid contacted him by his manager and the call with Florentino Pérez lasted less than 1 minute, so they speculate through the networks, if this player surprises, I think that Brazil will continue to be the King.

not just some matches, if you think some are fixed then I would assume most of them are, it's like they gave Italy the Euro but they had to not qualify for the world cup, anyways the final you mentioned with Portugal and German seems tough to happen, I'm expecting a Latin team to win the world cup this year since it's been 19 years when the last one won it which was Brazil, they are the favourites for me unless Argentina made a surprise.

Last time (2018), the world cup was held in Russia and none of the CONMEBOL teams managed to qualify to the semi-finals. France, Belgium, Croatia and England managed to find a spot in the semis and all these teams were from the UEFA (Brazil and Uruguay were kicked out during the QF stage). It is clear that weather played its part in 2018. But this time, that won't be the case, since the weather in Qatar will be very mild during November-December. Also, both Brazil and Argentina have the momentum at this point.
Brazil and Argentina have good momentum only on their continent. Nobody knows how they will play against European teams. I watched the qualifiers and these two favourites are definitely good, but the other teams have shown poor quality football. I think it might be a consequence of the pandemic. That's why Argentina and Brazil are only good on paper so far.

It is only a matter of time before Argentina becomes world champion. I have to say that that is only possible if Messi is part of the team. I don't see a potential successor waiting for him. What many people forget is that Argentina was close in 2014, when they reached the final of the world championship but lost to Germany. And the Netherlands? They have already reached the final 3 times and lost every time. France and Brazil will surely feel a lot of pressure, especially Brazil because the last World Cup title dates back to 2002. 20 years ago.
I would like to see the Netherlands reach the final and win it, the closest that was to achieve it was Roben, and I remember how the clockwork orange was giving everything, but I think that what the Netherlands has lacked is a lot of luck It would be something new and deserving for them, but one thing is what they deserve and another thing is that they achieve it, we cannot forget the other teams that have an arsenal and are very good and come out eager to succeed.
8657  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on How to Manage Gambling Addiction an Open Discussion. on: July 07, 2022, 04:16:22 AM
I think the first step is to acknowledge that a person has an addiction.  One cannot quit any kind of addiction if he does not know that he is already an addict.  Then admission.  After we admit that we are an addict then that is the time when we can decide to quit the addiction.  There is always a process in everything, especially in addiction, there is no shortcut in a gambler addict's rehabilitation.
It is true. one must first realize that he has become a gambling addict. because how can someone stop gambling if he doesn't feel addicted and feels normal. even though he has exceeded the limits of ordinary gamblers.
And the second important point after realizing that he has become a gambling addict is that he must also have awareness and be determined to stop gambling. or have a strong intention to disengage from gambling. because even though someone is aware that he is a gambling addict but if he does not have the intention and determination to get out of gambling addiction then he will not be released and will even go deeper. and after this second point there is. then the next steps that can be taken are with what the OP posted and can also be with tips from you. So in conclusion, if someone really wants to be free from gambling addiction, he is aware that he has become a gambling addict and has a strong desire/intention//determination to quit and get out of gambling addiction.

I have a friend who is a psychologist, and a long time ago I met her and we started talking, suddenly it came out that we were talking about economics and I jumped with the question of what can a person do who suddenly enters a casino and decides to spend a part of her money having fun with slot machines, but that she hasn't known how to control that fun and it has become an addiction that she can't control, she told me what you say, that the first thing is that the person assumes that he has the problem and Recognize, if the problem is very big, so that you do not fall into suicide you have to be medicated, this to safeguard your integrity, then it is good that you have a partial, almost total distance from all casino games.

This issue is delicate, and very serious, responsibility above all, it is always good to keep in mind that the personality and training of each person affects their decisions.

I think its very hard to change behaviors that turn into habits. Considering the fact that our body literally produces hormones that will effect our psychological health if we keep following our routine. Gambling as a habit is no different. Best way to finish this habit turning into addiction is to cut your brain wires symbolically. You should stop yourself producing that harmful hormone making you slave.
I agree - there is 21/90 rule. It takes 21 days to make a routine and 90 days to make it your habit.
Once you are trained for 21 days - you are good to change your routine. But it take a courage - a real courage indeed.

It is very hard when it comes to changing routines, I think it is too difficult when anxiety strikes, to be concise it is very difficult to be in the process, it is where the falls come, the weaknesses come to light, I think it is a test where you must have a lot of strength, such a serious problem is always difficult to deal with, even with abstention.

I am hoping to see that as he was really criticized for not beating Russell easily despite the champion literally fighting with one hand only. He needs to silence the critics by beating Vargas which is healthy and a good challenger for him. I'm excited for this fight guys as you are, so let's hope that our champion will be able to defend his title in this fight.

The dude is obviously improving and hopes he won't be pressured in this upcoming fight so far he used his experience fighting in the US very well and he is gaining some more popular than before. nevertheless, he is expected to show some more moves and skills in this fight and more fans are calling for a knockout score to further stretch his confidence to fight more strong boxers in their weight division. Heavy punchers are popular in that division and to be one of them is a huge success and a chance to become one of the legends in boxing history.

Yes, he is improved. He won't climb the rankings if he's not improving. He won't get a chance for a title fight if he's not improving. And now that he finally gets the Championship title, it's clear that he really improved in his entire career in boxing.

He will be able to successfully defend this title. That's what I'm seeing here. We are witnessing another great Filipino boxer in the making that will dominate the Featherweight division and hope he can build a good stand here and move up weight soon.


As they have stated, if Magsayo doesn't win I don't think it will give him a good future, they won't see much potential in him and will seek to do other fights excluding him, here Vargas is also better off than Magsayo himself, for me Magsayo has to overcome all past where he has failed, because it is not good for any boxer who starts to remember moments where he was not good, all athletes and sportsmen have their fall, absolutely all, and the best thing is to know how to get up, what I assume is that Magsayo must have a lot of motivation, he had that poison left inside of having failed and this time I don't think he will do it again.

Indeed, Magsayo really benefited from those wins he got in the previous years, he's the type of boxer that doesn't bark a lot and keeps his head low to have more grasp on the situation. Now that he's training with Freddie Roach, he has more advantages and has helped him to have more IQ in the ring against Vargas.

He already experienced a lot of fighting outside his country and so far he showed some promising fights to prepare for this upcoming fight that will gonna change his life if he gonna shows some best moves to win against Vargas easily. But, as everyone knows, Vargas seems not to be bothered with his opponent's records and that would make this fight interesting. Only a few days to go before we finally conclude the match between these two best fighters and finally we can see how good Magsayo is after training with Freddie Roach.

I reckon that their fight will be held at San Antonio, TX so it will be a hostile crowd for Magsayo as the majority of people who will watch the said fight will be Mexicans but I know Magsayo is already used to it as you've also said that Magsayo has already experienced a lot of fight outside his country, the Philippines.

I just bumped an article that Alamodome Stadium was also the same stadium where Manny Pacquiao made his huge breakthrough in his career against Barrera, so maybe this will also the mark where Magsayo will have his same breakthrough. It will be much more fun to watch if the both fighters will go for a toe-to-toe fight.

Yeah, we might compare this to Manny's fight in Alamodome. It was huge back then as Manny is an upcoming star and MAB is legitimate champion already.

So hopefully even if the crowd is hostile against Magsayo, he shouldn't be bothered by it and instead used this as motivation to beat their hometown favorite in Vargas. And now that we have seen the odds for a knock out is huge, it is really a good time to bet for it.

When the crowd goes against Magsayo and he emerges victorious, that's reason enough to say that the fighter has high morale and I know there is no such thing as failure in his mind, should he have a loss, he won't take it that way. It will be a lesson, this fight really promises you, if things go as we are speculating, they will not only use their arms and hands well to hit, it will be a high strategy fight.

He enjoyed using the money disregarding what will be the consequences of it. That guy should learn his lesson.
Indeed. Its a huge amount accidentally sent to his bank account, he's aware its not his money but still use it to gamble as if its his own. Instead of coordinating to the bank he gambled it away.

Now, even he return the money, it doesnt mean he's a good guy. Its his responsibility and he should face the consequence of his action.

I don't know whether to call that act irresponsible, because by playing such a huge amount of money it means that he was very aware of it, he may have shown and killed his ances for the game, but now he has to face other consequences, this wants to say that his act of irresponsibility was a gesture of immaturity, but that he will finally be able to pay and that makes him a person who is responsible for his actions, it could hardly be judged, because he is covering up the bad with an act of total responsibility, because very well You can claim that you do not have the money or the ability to pay, and you can claim that the money was in your account.


That is also possible, right? But I don't think he forgot the risks entailed with it and now he should be jailed for the money that was spent in gambling activities. He should just ask the bank directly about the money that was mistakenly sent to his account rather than just throwing his life because of what the did. It's also unfortunate for that bank teller who made the mistake and I believe he/she was already jobless now.

I'm sure he knows that risk and due to his gambling problem he take that risk and gamble all the money till he losses everything,

In terms of the teller, Not sure if he/she should be sanctions since he just processing the transfer and it's the senders mistake

both sides are the liable with this and not the bank, my personal take though. Bank serves as medium for transaction and

tellers are just processing the request between sender and receiver.
So who should be blamed in the bank's side? I'm pretty sure that they are looking in their side who would take the blame so that the bank won't be heavily blamed and it will result in a human error. About the man who gambled the funds, I'm sure he's now getting dumped in the prison and who knows that man is already living in hell because the government is putting pressure on the warden (some instances these will happen).

I wonder the same, who could judge something like that? I don't know what the laws in Japan will be like, but I imagine that they must be very rigid, but this case is very ambiguous, for my personal opinion I would say that no one is to blame, of course, there is some irresponsibility to play with so much money and bet it, I would have I did something else, maybe play but with more control and it would have multiplied, but not everything turns out the way you want.

I think Benzema should be the player above everyone else. he was on fire in the last season. Robert Lewandowski also played well but he has a better team and he also does not face so much petition as Real Madrid does in the La Liga.
Benzema has a very high contribution to Real Madrid, no offense, but Benzema is really the best player right now. His contribution moreover in the very ate play game time also really shows who he is, the champion mentality. However, he is also supported great players all in the squad. We know that football is a unity of players, not only one. That is why Benzema and all squads really have their high contributuion.
I ehard about one of the reasons why Lewandowski willing to move to Barcelona is to prove that he is better than Benzema. Let's see it

I did not know that Lewa had said something like that, however I am a fan of Real Madrid and I know that they want to keep it for a few more reasons, but this team is characterized by hunting down the best players of the moment and that is one of the reasons why is there, also without Benzema they would not have won the UCL, really for me the Hero of Real Madrid was Benzema, if Lewa goes to Barcelona, I want to see every Spanish classic and not miss a single minute, because seeing these two monsters play of rivals is quite a feat, and if Lewa said that, there is a certain amount of anger between them, Benzema will want to show that he is still the best.

Regarding rumors that Cristiano Ronaldo will move to Barcelona, ​​it turns out that there has been no clarification until now and is still a hot conversation that continues to raise a lot of speculation. But there is at least a bit to clarify that it is true that Ronaldo's agent has held a meeting with the President of Barcelona, ​​but apparently no official decision has been reached so far. and it is even possible that Cristiano Ronaldo will not move to any club and will stay at old trafford because according to European transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, said, Cristiano Ronaldo has not received concrete offers from other clubs.

This whole situation that is taking place with CR7 is somewhat painful, I have been reviewing the case on social networks and there are many who criticize because they say that they are offering CR7 to any team so that he can play in the UCL, it is like a rally with him player, and he is of a lot of quality, I only hope that the teams that are rejecting him do not regret it.
