there no best advice unless you tell all that to your friend family and tell them about their addiction and then ask them to go to rehab to get special treatment.

I don't really understand the situation but I'm sure your friend has a family and gambling addict can recover if there strong encouragement from the family because without family it will be very difficult to cure a gambling addict because no one gives encouragement.
but if you want to give advice to your friends, you can tell them about how gambling actually works and show how dangerous the bad effects are if you can't stop gambling.
but I'm not sure whether your friend will listen to your advice but I think the advice you give will be ignored.

this an example of the bad impact that gamblers have when they have a wrong understanding and think that gambling can return the money they have lost and can recover the losses they have lost, that a very wrong understanding and for me very ridiculous.
with examples like this, anyone should be careful to control themselves to continue trying to be responsible gambler.

Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga match only controls the ball too quickly in putting pressure on the opposite to the opponent is very important to make the opponent's mentality decrease but the problem not in the Bundesliga, so I will not be sure if Tuchel will do the same strategy at UCL.
against Lazio is not a tough task even though this match Bayern Munich will compete as a guest but see I guess there will be 2 scores that will be printed by Munich or even more.
maybe in the Bundesliga it looks bad lately but I still believe the victory will belong to Bayrn Munich

getting players at low prices just like gambling because if lucky will definitely get cheap players but can help improve team performance to be stronger but correct what is said by @jody.drummer if cheap players can make a strong contribution is very impossible to get it except to have young age and able to increase the talent of the young player to become a very talented player to help the team win the title.
option to get cheap players for me will only spend money but will only get a slight increase in Barcelona but I will agree more if I sell the main players who don't look good and look for other players who are stronger in performance.

so that when getting a quality player Barcelona will never worry because the player will certainly try to help the team become stronger than throwing money in vain with just the same appearance.

It is difficult to predict the final results of this season while there are still many matches left and there are still many surprises that occur even though currently Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City look strong but we don't know what will happen because in the EPL since the beginning of the season there are many surprises such as Spurs And Aston Villa who had given a surprise could reach the top of the standings even though it was only temporary but a surprise like this that made us worry whether there were still more surprises this season.

personally, I am actually more confident if Man City will still be able to get another title this season even though there is no guarantee but we don't hurt to predict each other's opinions.

gamblers who come to have fun will always be able to limit themselves and know when is the right time to gamble because those who gamble for fun usually have critical thinking or are wiser in managing their financial budget for gambling and respect their budget to have fun later day so they will never regret even if they often lose before they stop gambling but they don't have the thought to chase those losses.

different from gamblers who come to make a profit, usually they only think about how to get a win and always try continuously to get a win, no matter how much they have lost, the most important thing is that they can get a big win like they want, but without realizing that when the longer they bet, the smaller the chance of winning because emotions will get the best of them and when they lose they will really regret it and want to chase their losses to recover the money they have lost.

that's the difference, even though I'm not a hypocrite if gamblers who are having fun also want to win, but it's just winning that they want, not the big profits they want, like gamblers who come for profit.

this is a sad story that I have read for the umpteenth time and there are many more stories that are almost the same, some are even worse when a gambler who gambled with money he couldn't afford to lose ended up committing suicide.
of the many stories, this is one of the things that must be taken from the positive side, namely never doing things that you cannot afford to do, like what your friend did. this is one action that should not be imitated anyone and we all have to understand the risks if we forcing to gamble using hot money which should be used for daily needs but is used for gambling but ends up losing, feeling emotional and venting his emotions on the things around him.
regret is always the end of an action that has been done but there is no point in regretting it.

after an incident like this, your friend should realize that he is unable to control himself not to get emotional and after this he should also regret not gambling anymore because I am sure that if your friend gambles again in the long term he will experience much worse problems.

gamblers who have a mediocre income would be better advised to continue learning to control themselves consistently with all the rules that have been planned by themselves, as you said, using 1%-5% will not cause big problems as long as they are committed to their own rules.
and several things that must be paid attention to are not only about self control but also always learning to get used to the mind not to expect to win large amounts from gambling so that when gambling using a small budget, a small gambler can enjoy every bet he makes.
because if gambler doesn't get used to thinking positively, self control will definitely be difficult because all starts from the mind.

and actually there are many more ways to be consistent and make good use of the planned budget, such as betting in the right places and betting small amounts is one way to manage that 1% budget well.
such as choosing to bet on sports betting with small bets and being able to bet every day with small amounts compared to having to bet on casino games which are usually difficult to quit betting when very comfortable with the game.

until now, I still make this mistake when I have a plan to bet on a game that I have determined, but when accessing gambling, I forget the first option and am tempted to try another game, for example, I want to bet on football, but when I log in to my gambling account, I saw a new game and it made me curious and had to try it.
after I try it depends on whether I'm lucky or not because sometimes even though I prioritize the second game, sometimes luck gives a little win to add to the budget for betting on sports betting but when I'm not lucky maybe I'll just try a few rounds after the game makes me a little bored I will continue betting on sports betting.

and I have read many people who say here that they have indeed experienced the same incident as you did and that it is not a mistake or a determinant of whether we will be lucky or not.

In this day and age, technological developments are increasingly sophisticated and nothing is impossible, but you still have to maintain VAR.
I mean, currently most coaches are really helped by the existence of VAR to decide what policies will be implemented in violations and for me it is not the AI that is at issue but whether the coach will be fair enough to make decisions.
I really understand the situation, maybe AI can control VAR, but if that happens there will definitely be other parties who will analyze or give certain punishments if VAR is controlled by AI and on the one hand, for me, VAR + AI will not be a serious problem in the future, so in any case VAR will still be maintained even though later AI will master it.

I'm not sure if anyone has answered my answer, but IMO +18 is a person who can have better control than -18.
this means why gambling always says that at least new customers must be 18+ because someone who is mature enough has better emotional control, although this doesn't guarantee it, but at least they can control themselves better.

and regarding whether new gamblers must have experience before gambling, it is not necessary and the most important thing for me is that a gambler must understand how gambling works and have good self control.
experience just a story from the past and all of that does not guarantee that gamblers will be responsible, but if they know how gambling works and can know what risks need to be avoided, they are definitely worthy of gambling.

a very big score and I have to admit that this time Arteta team has really returned to its consistency even though previously it had lost its consistency, but Arteta managed to provide a very appropriate strategy to be able to gain the trust of the fans again.
6 scores is a big score that humiliated West Ham at home without even having any resistance.

but even though Arsenal are back they can be more consistent but I'm worried if they lose their consistency again like at the start of the season Arsenal were very good but in the middle of the season Arsenal experienced a decline in performance and this time it has started to improve again but the worry still makes me doubt because it could just be temporary commitment again.
however, looking at Arsenal current condition, it seems that Arteta as coach has realized that the match schedule is getting thinner, so if he doesn't immediately continue to get definite points in every match, it will really endanger his current position which is still very close to Spurs and Aston Villa.

It seems like the interesting match didn't just happen at Arsenal vs West Ham, but the dramatic match that Man United beat Aston Villa really surprised me because at first I thought it would only end in a draw but surprisingly McTominay managed to seal the win with a header towards West Ham goal.
the slightly ridiculous header made McTominay could have been thwarted by the West Ham goalkeeper because the ball passed in front of him but for some reason Emiliano Martinez seemed shocked and was unable to ward off the ball that was in front of him.

It's no surprise that Leverkusen currently looks more consistent and no one thought that Xabi team could reach the top of the standings without being defeated and could even beat the bundesliga giants.
we don't know what will happen but at least being at the top of the standings and beating a big team like Munich is a big achievement for Xabi who is currently experiencing success with Leverkusen to continue to maintain his position at the top of the standings.
Bayern Munich looked bad when facing Leverkusen even though Munich performance was very impressive but they were still unable to break into Leverkusen goal.

we may not be able to speculate to say who will survive until the end of the season but look Leverkusen undefeated and no matter how strong a team is, it will definitely experience defeat at least once in a season and I can only say that at least Leverkusen will experience 3 defeats until the end of the season this and if that happens certainly Munich will take the opportunity to unseat Leverkusen but it looks like Xabi goal is to get the bundesliga title undefeated to gain very valuable experience.

It seems that Atalanta and Bologna know that after Roma has a new coach who has slightly improved their performance, these two teams are trying to take advantage of the match to secure their position and continue to provide a bigger point difference so that Roma cannot get a top 5 position in the standings.
it clear that Atalanta easily beat Genoa with a big score and managed to embarrass the hosts with a score of 1-4 for Atalanta and I see that Genoa's goalkeeper and defense are having problems so they will not be able to withstand every attack from Atalanta, it is even very impossible to be able to withstand draw.

and on the one hand, the Bologna vs Lecce match and from this match Bologna also managed to win with a big score, the same as Atalanta 4-0, making Lecce feel frustrated because they failed to withstand every attack and I think Lecce often made mistakes so it was difficult to put up resistance and on the one hand, Bologna side competed as hosts so it was natural that Bologna easily beat Lecce.
currently the difference in points between Atalanta and Bologna is only 3 points, while Roma will have difficulty catching up in points with Bologna and Atalanta because the difference of 4 with Atalanta definitely very difficult.

logically it seems very strange if Barcelona split the score and end up in a draw against a team that is far below in the relegation zone while Barcelona also needs 3 points to get back runner up and try to catch the top of the standings but it is very ridiculous when it helps Granada get out of the zone degradation.
a little sorry to see Barcelona like this makes the fans feel very disappointed and disappoints the bettors who choose to bet for victory but it could end with 3-3 while Barcelona is at home which should have a much stronger performance.

I fully support your opinion regarding not betting on this match because this is proof that even though Barcelona is ranked in the top 3, this team is experiencing a consistent, unstable decline and always provides surprises like yesterday's match.
all the fault was in the second half, Barcelona underestimated Granada a little (maybe) because I saw that Barcelona in the second half was less aggressive and appeared to be underestimating their opponent, but when they conceded, Barcelona started to be aggressive again and this is my reason why it was bad in the second half.
has no other reason than to say that Barcelona is in an unstable state and avoiding betting on this team is the best way.

TBH, as long the UCL match are not over and before this season ends, I will never speculate too far.
I mean there is still a lot that can happen and we don't know what the great coaches out there are planning, even though Tuchel had a bad time in the bundesliga match, but that doesn't guarantee that his performance in the UCL will be bad.

everyone knows how Tuchel experience throughout his journey as a coach in several of the teams he coached was able to give good performance to the teams he coached and this time we only see the bad side but in some time to come we will be given a good surprise from Bayern Munich.
I say this doesn't mean I'm a supporter of Bayern Munich but looking at Munich performance it is actually very strong but behind it all there is a big plan that we don't know about and another reason is that it is impossible for management to extend the contract with Tuchel if his performance is bad but in fact Tuchel is still being retained because management believes that Tuchel can help Bayern Munich achieve its glory days again.

I will not use domestic league matches as a benchmark for predicting the results of the match against Lazio.
who would have thought that all of this was part of the strategy used to protect players from injury?
I mean it could be that in the bundesliga match Bayern Munich just appeared without big ambitions because the Munich players knew that there would be more important matches to prioritize so losing in the Bundesliga would not make me disappointed or worried if Bayern Munich would lose in the first leg.
and on the one hand, if we compare from the domestic league, it seems that Lazio is more inconsistent and look at Bayern Munich, which is more consistent than Lazio in each domestic league.

we don't know what Bayern Munich is planning at the moment but looking at Tuchel experience it seems like there is a big plan that the coach will carry out and my prediction in the first leg I am sure the two teams will share the score and end in a draw and in the second leg Bayern Munich will win.
maybe I predicted the match too early, but this is just my opinion based on looking at Tuchel strategies that have been used in the past.

this is the umpteenth time I have read other people's opinions saying that Barcelona is a mediocre team.
even though they only judge Barcelona only from the negative side but don't look at the other side about its current achievements and I have to support you that Barcelona is not a mediocre team because this team is not a team that failed whereas not only in the UCL but in La Liga Barcelona can still have hope to overtake Girona and become runners up this season.
and currently Barcelona has had a slight improvement after losing performance but is now trying to return to the performance like at the start of last season where the performance was very good without disappointing the Barcelona fans.

and regarding Xavi who will leave Barcelona, it doesn't look like that will happen because for me it's just a rumor because Barcelona management certainly understands very well that the team's finances are experiencing a bad situation and if they fire Xavi, it will definitely be a big disaster because there is no experienced coach who wants to received a small offer but had to be responsible for managing Barcelona which was short of players.
so for me it will never happen and hope that management will not make this ridiculous mistake.

looks like you won't regret it.
I mean from the OP story it seems like the person is very addicted to leaving their child home alone without thinking about the various big risks that could happen and reading more deeply after almost being arrested the police he said that if he only left for a moment.
from this story it can be seen that a gambling addict will always have a reason to continue gambling and can always lie to cover up his mistakes.
so I said that he wouldn't regret it if he left his child at home alone and an accident happened. surely, as a father who is addicted to gambling, he would only think about gambling.

If he really had regrets after losing his child, he shouldn't have left him for too long and he would have entrusted his child to someone he trusted if he wasn't a gambling addict.
from the story it is clear that he has almost no compassion for his son and he deserves punishment and rehabilitation to cure himself of this addiction.

I would prefer to avoid any risks that could interfere with or influence gambling activities for the worse.
like the case you described, indeed as friends we will not feel that we have a problem with the behavior of a friend who addicted but if it is done all the time for me it will be detrimental to ourselves because of course we will spend money on him betting and we could be affected becoming an addict gambling if you continue to associate with an addict.

so if I have an experience like that I better avoid it for the common good as you said as a friend should be the best and for me the best just to avoid and let him regret his actions and immediately seek help to cure himself of addiction and I will be one the person who would help him if he could have the self awareness to recover from his gambling addiction.

Montpellier is currently in the same situation as Lyon even though they are above Lyon but their performance is almost the same and consistently both teams have been bad in their last few matches.
to bet on the match between these two mediocre teams is very risky because both teams are in an unstable condition but if we predict from h2h data it seems that it cannot be a benchmark because it is a match that has already passed and many changes have occurred in the performance of both teams This.
I haven't seen what the overall odds are given by the bookmakers but I'm sure both have high odds of more than @2.

for me to bet on this match to produce a comfortable feeling I prefer to bet on btts.
the reason I chose to bet on btts is because these two teams are unstable but both teams definitely want to get 3 points and of course each team will score at least 1 score in the match.
