That Raiders game was tight at the start because the Lions couldn't get anything but FGs until the near end of the half after the Raiders got the first TD.

The match for today seems like a battle of the defense as the Steelers are one of the teams that shines more through their defense and the bookies expect it as well due to the low totals(36.5). The Titans still have the potential to take this game away from the Steelers, but everything points to the home team winning when I think they are doing slightly better in offense and defense than the Titans. The Steelers also have impressive wins against teams that I think they shouldn't be winning against and it's why i'll be backing them today to cover at least three points.

It depends on the situation because there are times that i'll be using altcoins and the withdrawal fee doesn't cost much so you can quickly withdraw your balance within a minute to make the switch. If i'm using BTC to place bets, then i'll most likely stick with the sportsbook because switching from one to another would cause me to lose more when the fees are significantly higher than altcoin fees. The difference in odds isn't always significant, but I recommend shopping for the best odds until it becomes a habit because it'll help later once you have a bigger bankroll.

Yes, that was the MOTD the other day, and congrats on the win. I almost went for the BTTS on that match, but I still lost the other bet.

Today's MOTD is for the Euroleague, and it's best to pass up on this because Fenerbahce can always have a bad start, and the homecourt advantage might not matter as much when looking back at the previous Euroleague MOTD.

I picked the "others" in the poll because I prefer a promotion or reward system similar to what Stake offers with their VIP and ryzaadit mentioned the type of rewards you could obtain from their VIP. You'll even see other casinos offer a similar way of rewarding their players because that's how effective their system has become. If that doesn't fall under the others, my next choice would be tournaments and contests. I sometimes find betting competitions enjoyable as long as they're not mainly about wagering but more about hitting a specific objective.

Without knowing all the details on your side, we can only speculate, and i'd say gambling is more likely going to make you addicted before you become lucky enough to win big and affect your life significantly.

Starting with a low budget is great, but you need to remove those high expectations in gambling because most of the time, you have to go through so many losses and you have to prepare against those scenarios when they are usually the trigger point for an addiction.

I would've taken one of those CHTV lines if I saw them earlier today.

Unfortunately, I already placed a bet on Arsenal to win @1.99, I didn't get this at the best odds, as it sometimes shifts above +100. Anyway, this is more of a bet against West Ham since they're not in the best shape, recently losing their last three matches.



Yup, that is mostly what happens. Some teams will only field a few of their usual starters because they still have to play a league match in the next few days.

The biggest that i've lost in one sitting was probably around $1k and I remember it started because I had a bad streak of losses and it only got worse as I didn't accept my losses at the time. Then again, those mostly came from winnings because there used to be a lot of great promotions offered by casinos during the holiday season.

On the bright side, losing on Stake means you could still claim a small portion of your losses through their VIP bonuses.

As long you keep tabs on your gambling budget, then you should be able to stop it from starting. It only happened once, so I wouldn't worry about it being the start of a gambling addiction and at least you're aware of what you did wrong. I sometimes deposit more than once because I always deposit as little as possible rather than go big in one sitting, which can cause overspending. I also experience those unlucky days, and it's okay to make another deposit if it's still within your budget.

Aside from Stake's mines game, you can also find the cashout feature in their hilo and crash games. The others already mentioned the main reason why most casinos don't use it in their games and it's due to the way these games work. It's unnecessary, and most games don't have an in-between point similar to a crash game where you can cash out during the process.

The odds have started shifting to the Cavs now that Mitchell is confirmed to be playing so now the match could be a toss-up if Mitchell performs well.

I'm still backing up the Knicks to win because the Cavs are still without their other key players. The only part I don't like about this bet is the Knicks are one of the teams that usually disappoint me whenever I bet on these guys.

I missed the last two football MOTD that somehow won and tomorrow's MOTD might end the streak as they're offering the cup game between Newcastle and Man United.

Several cup games will start within a few hours and I made this small double multi with a total of 2.1 odds. I'm only putting a small unit on this since these types of matches always have a bunch of favorites performing worse than expected.



Edit: Parlay lost, St Pauli won but it required extra time to find their second goal.

The other posts from the previous pages already mentioned some good points. It'll depend on your friend's financial situation because if money isn't the main issue, it might be worth waiting longer to see what other offers show up.

Then again, as you've mentioned, finding a replacement won't be a problem for the lotto agent, so i'd say it's mostly your friend missing out on a potentially long-term source of income when you also pointed out that lotto is popular in your country.

I see that more than half of the team in Division 2 already have their logo and it's starting to look like the ones I usually see in live scores.

I'm also hoping we'd have a Worlds question in one of the next few rounds since their playoffs would last around three weeks, with the semis and finals scheduled every weekend.

I noticed that today's MOTD would be the Diamondbacks vs Rangers and caught the markets with only a few minutes left before it gets taken down.

I had to back the Diamondbacks here as they field Pfaadt, who looked impressive during his start against the Phillies. Hopefully, the over won't ruin the ticket as this series might be due for an under after going over in the last two matches.

Most promotions and bonuses won't give you much profit, and that big of a goal might require a big bankroll. IMO it's too big of a goal even if you have several strategies to help you slowly make your way through it and the time frame makes the goal unrealistic. I've seen others hit their betting goal mostly without a time frame, so if you're serious about hitting that goal, you might have to remove the time limit because there's no need to rush things and put pressure on yourself when it could hinder you from reaching it.

What an end to our h2h, I thought i'm about to get my first loss until I saw my opponent didn't take the Dota question seriously to even up the scoreline and steal a point.

It's nice to see MLB in the mix this week, and hopefully, I picked the right team because in MLB, there's no such thing as the favorites.  

We've had a recent thread that asked a similar question and you already answered your question. To me, there shouldn't be a specific age for gamblers to retire from gambling when it's one of the few activities they enjoy and look forward to. Instead of age, time might be the better way to answer the question because change can happen at any time and gambling can become less entertaining than it used to be if you suddenly find other hobbies more entertaining than gambling.

I thought i'll go down a few spots in the rankings once again but the automatic substitution saved me from losing a few points after one of my five midfielders didn't start.

Same here, I always have Haaland as my captain and recently removed it because he's been getting not many points these past couple of rounds and now I missed 9-10 points for picking a different captain.  

Congrats on cashing that CMC ATTD slip, but the 49ers still can't end their losing streak after the Bengals held them off to one TD per half.

I'll opt for the team totals on today's SNF as I don't have the confidence to go for the spread or totals, thinking it could go either way when the Bears are starting to show up in their past few matches. Two TDs in the first half shouldn't be too hard of a task for the Chargers when they're one of the better teams at scoring TDs.



Edit: The bet hits in the first quarter.
