Gambling addiction should be considered a serious problem because addiction will make players continue to play without stopping and not a few of them regretted it all after all the money they had was gone. It's not about how much money we can spend, but how well we are responsible for the gambling we do so that regret never causes many other problem after losing.

I'm afraid of the thought of the possible outcomes of being gambling addicted. It is already proven and tested what are the consequences when a person got really involved in gamblinh and worst found his happiness in gambling. The consequences of being broke, the risk of his lives due to debt that he has committed, the possible to commit crimes like robbery just to ba able to pay his debt or even to be able to play again or gamble again. This is really a serious problem that everyone should take seriously, I mean there is nothing wrong with gambling just watch yourself don't fall on trap of being addicted.
Therefore, be a responsible gambler. Because by being a responsible gambler, even though the gambler has lost a lot of money in gambling, it still won't ruin his life. We don't need to be a professional gambler to be a responsible gambler, because whoever you are who has become a player then you should be able to become a responsible player, and with good control it will keep you a healthy gambler and can keep things going well.

A really good performance from both teams yesterday evening, Italy played carefully while still dangerous and Austria showed that they are not pushovers.

I like this Italy's team, I think Mancini is really making the most of it. Keeping Chiesa on the bench is a good strategy as well, he's most dangerous when playing against already tired defense. That goal yesterday was pure class.
This strategy is very likely to be a blunder, imagine if VAR did not exist then I believe Austria would have won. Italy is still lucky because Austria's goal was disallowed because if it was a legitimate goal, then Italy would not be able to reverse the situation under pressure because time was also running into the last minute. I'm just disappointed with the Italian game, because I also bet on this match and a draw in 90 minutes made my bet lose. Cheesy

Even against the reserves of Brazil, already qualified as first, Ecuador will find it difficult to get a positive result. The total goals could be at least three because I thinkg Ecuador will most likely adopt an ultra-defensive attitude to try to stop the Brazilian maneuver. Alfaro will insert five defenders, one of which will be Arreaga, positioned in the center between Hincapie and Arboleda. In attack, Ayrton Preciado, in goal in the Tricolor's last two games, will again play as a pair with Campana.
If Brazil plays second tier players then it is a good chance for Ecuador to target a draw, because if Venezuela loses by Peru then it will be enough for Ecuador to advance to the next phase. But I'm not sure Brazil will play second-tier players in total, because at least Neymar will certainly remain in the starting XI to keep his position on the top scorer list. So yes, Brazil will still win I'm sure.

But I wonder why the England - Germany match will be held at Wembley Stadium, while for the other matches at least they don't play at home or in their own country. I realized that even though England were playing at home it would still not win, and I think this would be unfair because in other matches they played at neutral venues. Is there an explanation regarding this or this is still not a final decision which may still be subject to change.

Pure politics. EUFA was wondering for a long time where to go because most of Europe still has travel restrictions during EURO and England was one of the locations that didn't have pandemic barring entries. Apparently, anyway.

Even Netherlands played home games in Amsterdam during group stages which I thought was very unfair, but I guess well, pandemic is pandemic? And as I said, England home advantage isn't necessarily an advantage:)
Not only the Netherlands, because in the group stage several teams played at home such as Italy, England, Germany, and Spain. Entering the round of 16 each team seemed to be rearranged for the venue to be used and the only team that was still playing at home was England, I don't understand why this happened because if the reason was only the Pandemic I think it's not right but about politics it might be Shocked

According to reports in Italy,Arsenal have launched a bid for Sassuolo midfielder,Manuel Locatelli who plays for his country Italy.Arsenal will have to pay 34 million to get the star man who is also wanted by Juventus and Mancity nevertheless,it is yet to be seen whether Sassuolo will accept the bid or not.But if the deal should go through between the two clubs,Arsenal will really be a threat to the premier league tittle comes next season.

Although it is quite encouraging news for arsenal fans (including me), but to be honest if arsenal will find it difficult to get Locatelli, besides having a fairly expensive price, of course Locatelli will also think about choosing other big clubs that are playing in the champions league in next season, Because the champions league is an attraction for football players today besides the big salary, I think Juventus and Manchester city are the strongest candidates to be able to get Locatelli from Sassuolo and even Manchester city reportedly has prepared the funds as much as Sassuolo requested which is worth 40 million euro.
Yes of course players will prefer teams that enter the UCL and also, even though Arsenal got Locatelli it still doesn't guarantee an achievement, moreover the EPL title is still difficult for Arsenal. We can see the players that Arsenal have managed to get like Aubameyang and Lacazette who were basically in the previous team they were very good and can give good results for the team but after they played for Arsenal, it still makes it difficult for Arsenal to be at the top of the EPL table.

The game Wales - Denmark will be much more interesting than Italy - Austria. The level of the teams is approximately equal, but I expect Denmark to win. I really liked the game against Russia. Speed, aggression and precise implementation of the coaching guidelines are the key to Denmark's victory.

Well , yes. It will be more attractive than Italy - Austria but on the same time it won't be on the same football level so I will watch Italy - Austria just to see if the rumors that Italy will concede a goal only in the finals is true. Can they do that ? So far that defense looks unbeatable and I don't see Austria having that attack force to score at least once. So , a mini prediction would be 3-0 for italy and on the other game , Denmark to win and both team to score.
Well, in this Wales - Denmark match we couldn't match the match between Russia - Denmark yesterday. Yesterday's match was the decisive match until Denmark finally qualified for the round of 16 and also, yesterday Denmark played at home which of course got a big boost from the many supporters in the stands. Therefore, I am not sure that the Wales - Denmark match today will have the same atmosphere, because I feel that the match will be boring with the difficulty of scoring goals and/or weak attacks made by both teams. But even so I still feel Denmark have a better chance of winning, let's wait because maybe the game will end in a penalty shootout, who knows.

If it is true that fate cannot be changed then of course we will not be able to get luck even if you wish for it. I believe luck can still be tried with a lot of trials and can even come quickly, but when I have tried many times but the results are always bad I think it is a bad fate that cannot be changed. In the past, I often had bad luck that seemed to never stop, while I kept trying to do my best but still the result was always bad luck. So, fate and control or luck will still be involved in gambling and even in any case, so stay aware of it.

  • He has tried time and again to curb, lessen or halt gambling, but has not been able to.
This case depends on the high or low determination you have, the higher the determination, the easier it will be to quit and vice versa.
  • Many times, he obsesses about gambling, such as thinking about his past gambling involvement; preparing for another gambling session; and devising how to get the money he needs for gambling.
I have experienced something like this in the past but fortunately for me, even though I borrowed money to gamble but I was still able to pay it off on time and sometimes faster, this happens for online and offline gambling.
In the last few hours I personally do self-introspection and analyze these symptoms may be in myself, family or friends. and as a result there are some of my friends who do seem to have these symptoms ;
1. Should I shut up and watch him continue gambling.
2. Or risk the friendship to fall apart by suggesting him to go to a psychiatrist, because because in my place people who go to a psychiatrist are identical to people who have mental disorders.
You only need to give advice or remind him, because then you will not risk friendship. Giving a little input will mean a lot to him compared to just being silent, so do your best because it is also for the common good. Taking him to a psychiatrist is the final option if all subtle means don't work for him but yeah, I don't think it's a solution because at least you can still invite him to do activities or find other things to do until he forgets about gambling.

The match organizer has their own judgment to determine the best player in a match, For example, the best player in the world, not all players can enter into the best player nomination. The goal of the best players is to motivate players to show their best quality on the field, This makes the game even more fun to watch.

The problem is that the organizers don't care about fairness. For example, at the World Championships in the finals, the best player is always the player from the losing team (maybe they think this prize is consolation?). I've seen many championships and it always happens that way.
I don't think it's a problem because the best players can come from the winning team and not, but as far as I'm aware the best players will always come from the winning team. Whether it's from a club or from the national team, at least they get an assessment of the way they play and how high their influence in a team is to bring their team to become champions. Well, I personally don't really care about this because for me, whoever the best players are, the most important thing is that they can still play with high sportsmanship in a match.
9532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It takes years to build a reputation and seconds to break it on: June 25, 2021, 06:29:29 PM
If they do marketing and promotion well then I'm sure they won't do anything negative because after all, the long-established reputation will take priority. It's different if over the years they haven't done everything well, then of course they will easily sacrifice their reputation by thinking it will be fine but unfortunately, that is not good in the long run. Therefore, I believe those who have succeeded and continue to do well so far, will not do anything to worry about because after all, any kind of competition will surely be able to pass well with great struggles and efforts.
9533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Prayer and gambling. on: June 25, 2021, 05:21:06 PM
I don't know a player who doesn't fold his hands as if to pray or use the word "God" when playing in a casino or the lottery. Regardless of which god someone believes in and even if he doesn't believe in any, he somehow prays to be lucky. Unfortunately, god has nothing to do with math and probability.
How does God have nothing to do with math and probability if he is the creator of all things?
The basics of every religions is that a supreme creator gave origin to all the rest. Although minor gods possessing power to create also exist in some religions they wouldn't exist without a supreme creator that is above all. So God is associated with all the laws which rule the universe, what includes math, probability and everything else. God has nothing to do with the misuse of the elements of his creation, that are the addictions. But there are no problems in having a healthy gambling routine.
Right, it's funny when someone says "god has nothing to do with".
Because after all, God certainly knows what the person is doing but on the other hand, most of them don't realize that God knows and is watching. So in the case of praying while gambling it is still not a problem because after all, the gambler believes that his god will be involved but that doesn't mean that by praying the results will always be good, no. Because praying is just an effort from someone to get good results, even though the results are not always good but at least he has good faith in his god and it's not a problem.
9534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto-Casinos and KYC on: June 25, 2021, 04:06:08 PM
Yes, you shouldn't be surprised when they ask but most of them too are not really pushing that as long as the user is clean. And those users that have been asked for it.

Gambling sites just asked for additional KYC for big withdrawals or alarming winnings. In that case, users just have to be true to themselves.

KYC is just for the account's unique profile so that in case of attempted big withdrawals, it can't be allowed easily if the account was hacked and the only one who can withdraw that is the original user.

Another one if the account has an unusual activity. That is subject to account fraud and KYC might be imposed on that account.
Not only about large withdrawal amounts, there are also gambling sites out there that offer a bonus but on KYC terms, but that's just an option I guess we can still ignore. But related to large withdrawals I think it can only be done if he is a pro gambler, because for amateur gamblers it is still possible to ignore KYC because it will only play with money that is ready to be lost and most of us just to play for free time and fun. So yes, KYC or not I think it's just an option which in reality can still be avoided.

They are free to buy or not so there is nothing wrong with allowing cannabis lounges in casinos and I think this provision is only meant for those who like to use it. But, for those who have recently tried it, at least there is also a warning about the impact that will be caused, because then they can do it with considered risks too.

Even though England played at home but still I don't believe that was the trigger to win and even, these two teams played at home during the group stage but still the result was bad. But if I had to choose who would win, I personally would still choose Germany even though basically I don't like them because they don't look very good in the group stage and tend to look boring.

Yup! England have a funny relationship with their fans actually and I personally even think some of the English players play worse under the pressure of expectation (talking about Sterling esepcially). Germany on paper have to be the favorites but maybe after group showing bookies will favor England.

@joker_josue man I hope it doesn't go to penalties otherwise I have one bet wrecked early:)
But I wonder why the England - Germany match will be held at Wembley Stadium, while for the other matches at least they don't play at home or in their own country.

9537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: June 24, 2021, 07:37:15 PM
This transfer season, Barcelona is mainly focusing on young players. They are making young strikers and midfielders. Even if Messi, Griezmann, Aguero leaves Barcelona, Barcelona will not face big problems. However, Barcelona's defense was very weak this season. They should have an experienced defender. Experienced defenders should be included in the team without focusing on young defenders.
It is a good transfer strategy for the future, because the key players of Barcelona is old. Messi, Busquet and Pique won't have many seasons left in their career. Hence, Barcelona have to prepare their lives without Messi, Busquet, Pique.

Pique and Ramos have touched downside in their career. Ramos already left Real Madrid so how about Pique?

You're right, Koeman is arranging the Barcelona team with the future in mind. It takes a long time for young players to become experienced. Young players will become more skilled and experienced if they get a chance to play with experienced players like Messi, Aguero and Pique. With their help, the future Barcelona team will become stronger.

I don't know how you guys here feel about it but for me Koeman isn't the perfect coach for Barcelona. Every time I see him it feels like he is in the wrong place. He lacks that aura or anything, I am not sure what it is that I dislike about him. His decisions as a head coach so far were quite miserable as well.

I don't think Barcelona will be dominant next year. Those times are pretty much over. Who knows what's going to come next for Barcelona once Messi leaves the club. That's when the biggest era in soccer history will come to an end.
If you look at other big teams trying to build teams with young players, in fact it's not the right way for big teams because in the end these big teams will need more experienced players who already have a selling point. But if Barcelona can accept the risk it may not matter, because as far as I am aware the risk will only make the team even more destroyed because of heavy pressure from many parties. Because usually, young players who are successful must have passed many obstacles such as being loaned to other teams basically to get more playing minutes.

The most interesting match in the round of 16 will be Germany vs England. Germany can pass the tour in this round. Of course, England also has this possibility. Considering the matches played in groups, I think Germany is luckier.
Lol, I think the match will still be boring because previously I felt these two teams would be very productive teams, but the fact is not so good even though both of them can qualify for the round of 16. I personally prefer the Belgium - Portugal match, I'm sure this match will be exciting because both have productive goalscoring machines like Ronaldo who is the temporary top scorer and Lukaku who looks like he will still be sharp in Belgium's attack.

Football ball comes with shocking surprises I wasn't expecting the 90'+10' minutes win for brazil. Columbia actually dominated the game for 78' minutes only to loose out at the end of the match. This was a late goal win and can actually be so painful having dominated the match from the first half until the 78' minute. For Peru I'm really short of words
How can the extra time be up to 10 minutes, was there something that made the match get a long pause because maybe there was an incident or whatever? If the game goes on normally then this isn't the right extra time to give, and if it's not for the right reasons I doubt the game goes clean. But despite all that, I admit that this tournament has become difficult to predict and I only found out if Brazil's victory came from added time which I think is a question.

I haven't been following what's going on in Liverpool that much, but is there any reason why Georginio Wijnaldum's contract was never extended in Liverpool and therefore ending up in PSG as a free agent?

The guy has been on fire in this Euros competition with 3 goals in 3 games. That from a midfielder is astonishing. Liverpool must be cursing themselves for not keep him.
It sometimes happens that players play better for their national teams than for the clubs they play for. It looks like some kind of paradox, but it really is. I don't think Liverpool is worried about this, Klop has enough strong players in every position, and maybe he just does not fit into Liverpool's model of play. There can be many reasons.
Last season also Georginio Wijnaldum looked impressive for Liverpool but was only plagued by injuries so he didn't play more but Klopp must have a better plan or it's true that you said he didn't match his performance even though in the EURO 2020 competition he looked stunning with 3 goals in 3 appearances but I don't know if it's official or not, it's clear that Klopp has new plans for Liverpool this coming season.

I say this is not self-deprecating that Liverpool midfielders have a lot of quality and this will guarantee Liverpool after losing Georginio Wijnaldum nothing will change meaning the midfielders stay strong and operate.
But indeed, I think Liverpool can extend his contract for at least another 2 to 3 seasons. I think Wijnaldum is still very good for Liverpool. Considering that he is still 30 years old, he is still a productive age in the EPL but yes, maybe Klopp prefers Thiago Alcantara who in my personal view is still not suitable for Liverpool and yes, hopefully this will not be a blunder.
