PSG - Bayern aren't really sure which one will win as these are the two best teams and despite that, they don't have clean defenses so it's no wonder in the first leg there were 5 goals in total scored. Obviously Bayern won't give up here so easily, so I just believe the game will go on with many more goals. For Chelsea - Porto, I personally still believe Chelsea will still dominate the match, winning is a definite result for Chelsea in my predictions.

This is about how do you make sure that you are gambling in full control. There are many people who are easily brought into gambling beyond fun and that is a problem for them and also for the gambling industry, because it is for them that there are limitations in many countries.

Do you actually...
- Have a weekly budget to play and do not ever go over it?
- Not ever get in debt for gambling?
- Have an allocated time for gambling and never exceed it?
- Gamble only socially with friends of relatives?
- Have someone helping you control your gambling?

- No, because I will only gamble when I have money and don't care if it is money that is ready to lose or not.

- This happened in the past, but for now it would be best to give up gambling if I had no money at the same time.

- There are basically certain times that I know the best times to gamble at the casino, but unfortunately it's not always the same. But to gamble on sports all the time is good I feel and it is very different from casino and sports gambling.

- Only when finding the right time, but more often gambling with bookies.

- Not.

Be careful hahay you wrongly quoted the post above. This message is not from me, it's from nelson4lov. Wink
But I agree with you it would have been certainly more easy to handle for vennali if the contest had taken place onto a sportsbook or if rules of the tournament had been more stringent.
OMG, sorry about that, I'll be even more careful to quote and cut.
By the way, I still check the sheets periodically just curious about the upcoming updates, even though I realize any update info will certainly be posted by Vennali, just wondering who the winner is and where I am. Smiley

Thanks a lot for the heads up on the start and end dates. I reckon that I would have enjoyed the completion more if the stats were updated in real time so I know how I fare against other participants. That way, I can keep it in mind and make informed decisions. I wouldn't blame @vennali too. It isn't an easy jobs to manually make these updates as quickly as possible. Majority of the times I look at the stats sheet, it's nearly the same since the first time I saw it.
Well, that's what I considered at the beginning when the tournament didn't have a sponsor, because tournaments like this had existed in the past but were held on one site or at the sponsor itself, so the tournament had its own page on the sponsor's site and it made the count happen automatically which of course the tournament is becoming and looks very attractive. But yes, I also realized @vennali has a lot to do, but coming back to the tournament itself because after all the tournament has to look more exciting. So yes, before moving on to the next round I think everything needs to be prepared more carefully and better so that this tournament becomes more interesting and fun. Smiley

With a little more than one day left till the end of the competition, I've passed the 20 bet threshold today. How about you, are there still people like me who haven't been making lots of bets here?
I'm also wondering about the stats. Mine were only updated for my first 11 bets, and the win/loss column was updated only for the first 3 bets that I placed for this competition. I can see that there are others whose stats weren't updated for a while as well, but I guess it's understandable that it's an overwhelming amount of work for one person, so no worries there. It's just that without actively updated stats, it's very hard to see how everyone's doing so far, and how close or far from winning the competition I am in comparison with others.
I won 9/14 bets that were already settled if I'm not mistaken, but they were largely on pretty low odds, so I have no idea where this puts me.

The competition started on 15th of March and I'm expecting it to end tentatively on 15th of April which is a few days from today (I might be wrong). Anyway, I haven't been that much active since the competition started due to other engagements I have in the real world and like you, my stats haven't been updated so I don't know where that puts me. But before the competition comes to an end, I'm making a last minute push to get to bets in and hopefully enough wins to get me closer. I'll be keeping an eye out for any updates in the last couple of days. Until then, good luck to  you and everyone else participating.  Smiley
I think the start and end dates are already set in the announcement thread, here:
- Tournament starts at 0:00 GMT 15th March.
- Ends at 12th April GMT.

At least the competition will end in one more day and also, the stats are not updating because I check them every day, just to see how things are going. But so far maybe @vennali will count it when the competition is over.
Basically I like this competition, but if the calculations are done manually like this, I think the competition will be unattractive.
9546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You won today, but then you will lose often on: April 11, 2021, 05:01:25 PM
As everyone has said, yes you will lose in the long run. But the biggest mistake people make is bet size. If you control size and you stick with levels you are comfortable with, gambling can stay fun and you increase the chance of profit.
Not at all when the game is based on luck even if there's a bet size you do care, even if you have control over the size of bet you don't have the control of the outcome. It's indeed fun but for those who make it as living it could be a little dramatic on their end.

He does not mean to say that controlling bet size = controlling the outcome.
What he want to say is that we as gambler should have our own limit by controlling our bet so no matter what will be the result then it wont affect us financially.
In other words, it is the same as the most popular quote "gamble what you can afford to lose only".
Also, controlling the size of the bet or betting what you can afford to lose is basically the right way, and it will still be fun if you only play the games or matches you like with the odds being kept in mind. I personally have tried a lot to control the size of the bet but if I don't adjust the odds then the result will still be emotional. So to keep things fun, you can't just control the size of the bet, because at least you have to adjust for other factors as well.

Napoli just scored its first goal vs Sampdoria right now.
Napoli is playing very well against Sampdoria. They are leading by 1-0. Sampdoria is not getting much chance to attack. Napoli made 10 shots, while Sampdoria made only 3. Ball possession Napoli 67% and Sampdoria is only 33%.
Well, I predicted and bet on Napoli to win and that was a good result. I see Napoli will definitely continue to chase 3 points at every opportunity because Napoli and Atalanta will always secure their position in the top 4, it looks like their competition will continue until the end of the season. But if I look at the opponents who will be faced next, maybe the results will be different, but if they continue to win and lose simultaneously then of course their competition will not end until the end of the season to fill the 4th position, very interesting to look forward to.

I just realized United-Tottenham's first match, the match was won by Tottenham 1-6. But it looks like the trend won't continue or maybe Tottenham will surprise again now by winning big or losing big, who knows. I personally remain confident to bet on United because considering United could break City's previous winning streak, it is a great achievement in my view so I am sure this match will be a draw or United win.

Eibar v Levante - Under 2.5 Goals
Real Madrid v Barcelona - Over 2.5 Goals

El Clasico night. Very important game for both teams, whoever wins the game will be the new leader.
I think there is nothing new for Real Madrid and Barcelona, because these two teams are always leaders every season even though they are not the real leaders in the standings this season. But still, these two teams in La Liga have always been leaders or at least a team that other teams are always wary of, so that whatever order they are in the ranking will always be a serious concern for the team that will fight them. But talking about who will win in the El Clasico match at this time, I personally will not take the risk of betting on ML, because both have the same chance to win.

The Real Madrid vs Barcelona match is indeed very interesting to wait for, especially for both of them the match is very important. Besides being
able to determine who is the best of the two, who wins the match can have a greater chance of becoming La Liga champions. Especially if Atletico
Madrid lose points against Betis, they can replace Atletico Madrid as the first place in La Liga. Since Real Madrid and Barcelona have the same chances,
it is very difficult to determine the winner. This is a very high risk if we bet on the Real Madrid vs Barcelona match. So I decided it was better not
to bet on Real Madrid vs Barcelona matches.

Yes, whoever wins will at least have a better chance of getting the title this season and every game will have a lot of prestige in it. So yes, El Clasico matches are always interesting but it will be more interesting if you watch them with bets, because even though you don't know which team will win at least you can still bet with other options. Barcelona has a better preparation, I think, in contrast to Madrid who are still playing at UCL, this factor will be another obstacle in terms of fitness.

Don't understand what's wrong with City, because even Leeds have only played with 10 players and even though City have lost their form I'm sure City will still win because the difference in players on the field is a clear differentiating factor. But indeed, from its last 3 matches Leeds got good results, but that is not a guarantee that they can win away against the leaders' team.
Anyone who bets on City may they have patience, because you are not alone in this defeat!
9554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2020/2021 on: April 10, 2021, 10:46:29 AM
What are your predictions for today tie?
+Manchester city vs Leeds United: am not going to bank on Manchester city to win Leeds their first game -leg- of the season was a draw, I think Leeds has the antidote for Manchester city Football, I think it another draw between this strong teams.

+ Liverpool vs Aston Villa: not the Liverpool of 2019-2020 season, or the starting of the season, but a different and improved Aston Villa team from 2019-2020, the never to be forgotten first leg still taste bitter in the mouth of Liverpool, I think Liverpool would take a win this time.


Liverpool and Manchester City have difficult Champions League matches in 4 days. and I think they will save energy for them. Especially Liverpool, which cannot afford to lose in the return game to Real Madrid. Manchester City is in a better position. They won their first match in the Champions League and also have a decent lead over their opponents in the Premier League.
There will always be possibilities that will happen during the match and because of that, I just believe that each team will definitely continue to focus on the match that day and not the next match. So, I'm sure these two big teams will still win with that early goal which will allow the rotation of players to allow it to rest for the next match.

Fulham v Wolverhampton - 02 Double Chance or Under 2.5 Goals
Fulham lost 3 matches in a row. Wolves lost 2 matches in a row and didn't win in last 5 matches. Expecting a pretty tempered match.
Let's check the results of their head-to-head match. In the last 5 head-to-head matches, the Wolves have won 3, drawn one, and Fluham won the remaining one. I think the Wolves will win this match too. My guess is that the Wolves will win 1-0.
Somehow my feeling is that Fulham will win this time or at least a draw might deserve this match. I realize Fulham are in the relegation zone and Wolves look better, but at the moment Wolves don't have so many surprises when they play away, so I'm sure Fulham will take advantage of this moment so that the opportunity to get out of the relegation zone is still open. Although indeed, if I look at the opponents that are faced next it still seems like it is still difficult for Fulham to get out of the relegation zone.
9558  Other / Off-topic / Re: Corruption and Sports on: April 09, 2021, 04:46:46 PM
Well, I think corruption or bribery in sports goes back to the sportsman or the athlete himself, because if he really likes his profession and thinks about his future career, then corruption or bribery in sports will not happen because they or the players will definitely refuse. I personally never know if an election campaign says that because usually they only deal with corruption in government circles and not in sports but anyway, if it is done then of course to fight corruption is a good thing.
9559  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are There Drug Options for Gamblers' Disorderlyness? on: April 09, 2021, 03:47:04 PM
Not sure about a cure for gambling disorder because for me, the only way to avoid gambling is to create another activity which will eventually make someone forget to gamble. Most of the gambling players continue to gamble because they have time to gamble, and that is the reason I say gamblers will avoid gambling if the gambler has other activities but of course it must be accompanied by determination. I'm not sure there is a drug that can make gamblers avoid gambling.
9560  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which Altcoin would you Buy now and Why? on: April 09, 2021, 02:12:49 PM
I am not interested in the coins that are on the list and also, for now I have no plans to buy any altcoins as I personally still hold some altcoins which makes me have to wait a little longer due to the stagnant price. At least that's my concern at the moment, buying altcoins worries me about holding on for longer just to get a good return. Even though the top coins have made their new ATH several times this season, unfortunately this trend doesn't make all altcoins get the same trend.
