1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When another addiction fuels gambling addiction. on: March 13, 2025, 08:35:28 PM
Addictions is hard to stop that's why one must try to prevent it so that they won't become addicted to anything. However just been saying this before now that addiction doesn't start just in a day, the gambler develops it gradually and that's how it becomes use to him or her. IMO, gambling addiction is the worst of all the things you have mentioned because some people can do anything for them to gamble, they can sell their properties or use people's money to fuel their gambling addiction. But one who's addicted to alcohol and drug might have friends that's also addicted so if this person do not have money to buy the hard drugs/alcohol the next person might have. Although the both are not something one should become addicted to because they are not good.

That's right bro, that's why we have to be able to control ourselves so as not to fall into addiction to something that can harm ourselves, addiction to something is okay as long as it's under our control, as long as we can control it so as not to harm ourselves too much, it's okay in my opinion, don't let us get addicted to things that can harm us so that we can no longer control it.

Excessive addiction in seeking money is also very dangerous in my opinion, because after all when we are addicted and can no longer control it, we can justify all means to be able to fulfill our desires, don't let all other people's rights become our own rights, because we can no longer control it so that our inner eyes are closed to doing indecent things that can harm others, not only ourselves, other people also feel the impact of our carelessness.

this is the thing
having a minimum accepted drawdown before you stop is a risk management + surviving strategy that is good to have too
the thing is that most don't manage their risk properly, they just go with the flow and don't really respect their money, maybe because it wasn't hard earned...
I don't know

That is the result of us being too ambitious to return previous losses, we can only take victory when we are playing, never hope to be able to return previous losses which in the end we will continue to lose because we are wrong in taking a strategy, the risk in gambling is certain so we must be ready to accept all the risks, don't let it be when we are in victory we forget about the losses that are waiting for us, so we must prepare ourselves to be able to accept all the risks that occur, because the capital we spend is not a little so never underestimate the capital we have spent, don't let us waste money because we are easy to find the capital itself, stay in a controlled situation and be careful.
3  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is it so hard to stop? on: March 13, 2025, 08:15:25 PM
Addiction will only occur when the gambler tries to recoup the losses. and this is the worst thing, the player thinks that the next bet will recover his previous losses, but in reality it pushes him towards even bigger losses. Therefore, it is very important to set certain limits and maintain self-control, without these he will never be able to change his mind, and he will always only want to win and recoup the losses. Which leads him to bigger losses.

Yes, that's right, bro, because when we play the game, never expect to be able to recover previous losses, because what happens is continuous losses instead of receiving profits, it ends up being a loss, that's why we have to control our emotions and thoughts so that there are no continuous losses due to our emotions to recover our losses, continue playing to seek profits without having to think about covering losses, manage finances as well as possible so that we are not too eager to spend too much capital so that we cannot control it, play with our ability, don't be too eager beyond our capacity.
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Playing different slot games and playing just one, which is more profitable? on: March 13, 2025, 07:58:14 PM
I saw your comment on my post, that's what I have experienced as well but it became more obvious as I played the new game called pump, but when I saw the same thing repeat in the other games, I took it common but it was real, others have testified to have such experience too on my topic. If you win like that, you will have to withdraw and also known when to stop because as you continue to play, you will still lose all the money.

Indeed, most slot games are like that, bro, sometimes when we start the game we are immediately given continuous profits, sometimes we are also defeated at the beginning of the game, there is no certainty when we win and when we lose, by not playing in one place we can sort ourselves out from continuous losses, because by playing in several games our losses can be slightly more minimal, sometimes we lose in one game can be won with the second or third game, it also depends on our luck, there are also those who play in several games but all three also lose continuously, meaning you have to withdraw temporarily and rest.
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to practice emotional control in gambling? on: March 13, 2025, 07:47:58 PM
That's another factor that usually lead a gambler to exceed from their target limitation, when greed start to dominate inside them they unable to control, and with that it failed a gambler in many ways, better to rest or stop when you feel that you are already taking too much both your time and money, it's already an indicator that greed is trying to control and without taking a precaution to avoid following your emotion surely it will start dominating and lead you to lose everything.

Indeed, it is difficult for us to control our emotions because we have been defeated too much, when our money has started to run out because we never hold back when we start gambling, what we have to do is take a break and stop the game for a while, don't let us follow our passion that is so passionate that we lose control until we dare to lend money for our capital to bet again, the result is not getting better but instead worsening the situation, the mind is not in a good state, so it is important to maintain the stability of our minds and emotions, don't let us be passionate and lose control which in the end we lose big.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Unlikely Luck and Unbreakable Promises on: March 13, 2025, 07:39:02 PM
When someone promises something, then that person must fulfill what he promised. That's why I think the outcome of these two stories is very correct. Unfortunately, here in Africa, most people make promises and never keep them, and to make matters worse, they are capable of killing their friends and neighbors if there is money involved.

That's right bro, because the majority there money is everything, whatever way they want to do it as long as the reward is equal, no one can be trusted if money is in front of their eyes, even friends can be their targets as long as the payment agreement is right, that's how sadistic we live there, when money blinds someone's inner eyes, all the targets they pursue and succeed in conquering then the payment is according to the agreement from the start, so don't let us become the target of their crimes to be able to seek profit from the results of targeting ourselves.

Walaupun sekarang ini udah ada beritanya dan klarifikasi bahwa itu bukan lagi oplosan, cuma dalam hati ini udah agak sulit buat numbuhin rasa percaya lagi sama pemerintah karena udah sangat kecewa sebagai konsumen.

Memang untuk saat ini sudah klir persoalan pertamax yang di oplas dari pertalite, tetapi rasa kekecewaan masyarakat terhadapa pemerintah sudah sangat bergebu, sulit untuk masyarakat bisa percaya lagi terhadap pertamina yang beredar di kota-kota kita, karna kepercayaan masyarakat disalah gunakan sama mereka, bukan angka sedikit yang mereka raup dari hasil perbuatan bejat mereka, masyarakat sekarang lagi kesusahan karna ekonomi sekarang sudah tidak menentu, tetapi mereka dengan enaknya mengambil uang negara untuk kepentingan mereka dan kelompoknya, tersangka yang sudah ditetapkan hanya sebagian dari kelompok mereka, masih banyak lagi pelaku yang masih berkeliaran di kalangan masyarakat, tetapi ya begitu hukum di negara ini sudah sangat bobrok, dan masyarakat sekarang sudah tidak 100% lagi percaya terhadap pemerintah.

Tbh is not easy to stop especially when you are addicted to it , one of the best time to stop is when you haven’t gotten deep in to it , but sometimes in some situations is best you stop for good or have some break bed gambling can actually mess with you when it’s not being approached wisely , it will be killing yah slowly without noticing it because all you care about is to win more not what the crave is doing to you ( of wanting more or trying to cover losses ) .

Yes bro, when we start to gamble, the thing we have to prepare is to accept all the consequences, don't just expect to win and profit, we also have to accept defeat, that way we can bring ourselves not to experience severe disappointment because we are in defeat, because it is important for us not to be too ambitious in seeking profit in gambling.

We must stabilize our emotions before we start gambling, and try to put according to our abilities, don't force ourselves to put with a large capital because we want to receive a large profit so that when we are experiencing defeat, we are not frustrated with what we are experiencing because of defeat, so be wise in spending capital to gamble.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 12, 2025, 02:47:33 PM

Yeah, actually I think there performance this season is never to be compared with that of last season. Moreover, I never knew bayern munich could come up with such a brilliant performance. you know as of last season bayern munich always find it very difficult to defeat bayern leverkusen both home or away, Is obvious that bayern munich has finally recovered from thier form. however, leverkusen was doing absolutely well in the early stage but I don't know what came over them lately I think they're becoming too lazy, just imagine after being defeated by werder bremen and they also got knocked out from the champions league, I was actually thinking that is because of the champions league that made them not to take the match very serous, yet they didn't even succeeded in the champions league.

That's right bro, Bayern's current performance is very brilliant, with several matches they can play well and full of optimism then it will make their team advance to the next round, with team cohesion they can easily defeat opponents in the upcoming match.

The upcoming match between Bayern and Union Berlin in my opinion is an easy opponent to beat for the Bayern team so they should never underestimate their opponents, the opponent is still an opponent that we must fight in order to be able to defeat, don't let us underestimate our opponents so that it will cause defeat for our own team.

Liverpool deserves what they got for taking the first leg match for granted. They thought that PSG is a club in EPL and that made them feel winning will be easy and they will qualify to the quarter finals. The match went in a different direction for Liverpool and they fought till the end but couldn't make it.

Liverpool should concentrate on English competitions and prepare for next season in UCL. PSG was been criticized in the beginning.

Yes, that's right, because according to them PSG is not an equal opponent to them, because they are on cloud nine after the last few matches, Liverpool often underestimates their opponents, as a result of their mistakes they had to go home after being defeated by PSG yesterday.

PSG did experience weakness a few days ago, but they will continue to rise to bring their team to win this year, their unfading spirit makes their team continue to develop as it is today, because they think positively and play well so that their team's cohesiveness unites with each other to win the game.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how do you avoid being stress in gambling? on: March 12, 2025, 02:18:53 PM
Stress occurs in case of loss, everything else in gambling is the gameplay and victories, it gives pleasure, so getting rid of stress means reducing the number of losses, or making sure that losses cannot affect you. To do this, you can reduce the bet so that in case of loss you do not feel any disappointment. Someone may say that in this case it will not be so interesting to play, but you can increase the odds to increase the possible win, then the risks will play in your favor, and the loss will not be noticeable for you.

Yes, that's right, bro, disappointment comes because we lose too often in gambling, it will cause disappointment for ourselves, because we cannot accept the defeat that we play in gambling, when we win in gambling we will feel happy and proud, so we have to fix it, if you are not able to accept defeat, it is better to reduce gambling, because in gambling there are wins and losses, we don't always receive victory, there are also losses, so we have to accept the consequences, before we gamble, we first control our emotions as much as possible so that we are not too disappointed when we accept defeat and we minimize the capital for us to gamble so that when we lose we will not lose with a large capital.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Were your parents for or against gambling? How did you start gambling? on: March 12, 2025, 02:11:06 PM
My parents never gambled and I don't think that the subject ever came up, maybe they did before I was born but I wouldn't know. I don't think that anybody ever gave me advice when I was a young boy about gambling, everything I know I had to learn from my experience and from gamblers. The first time I gambled I was quite young then, I wanted to win a ball in 'scratch and win' cards, I lost all my money and I never won the ball. I cried and never gambled again till I became an adult, that experience made me never to take gambling too seriously and I never use substantial amounts to gamble.

It all depends on our respective parents, but in my opinion none of our parents encourage us to gamble because gambling will make us poor, the benefits given from gambling do not make us rich forever, everything we earn from gambling may be temporarily enjoyable but not in the long term.

Because parents want their children to have good and permanent jobs so they can provide a better life, gambling will make all our finances run out and disappear, if we are too passionate about gambling it will make our finances unstable, but gamble by seeking pleasure not for the intention of seeking wealth, don't be too ambitious in gambling, stick to games with our own abilities.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Keys to successful gambling on: March 12, 2025, 01:59:06 PM
analyzing each match is fundamental in the case of sports betting, it is like this, you always have to analyze the teams if the players are in shape or not if they can play, if they don't play, and then look at the odds and decide what is best to do, obviously I always play Serie A which is the championship I follow, and therefore it is easier for me, but it can be applied in many other championships

Yes, of course we must be able to analyze every game we bet on, because that makes us not take the wrong steps to bet on every game, because every bet we play costs us capital so we must be able to take advantage of our bets, don't just bet so that we lose badly in every gambling we play.

Of course, by being able to analyze every game we can easily place our bets so that we don't think too much about things that don't exist so that we can bet comfortably without thoughts that make us uncomfortable in betting, every game that we think is safe and comfortable, please, as long as we don't force ourselves to place without us believing in it which will later make us continue to think so that we accept disappointment when our bets are not profitable, stay consistent and think positively.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Changing games showed me a different thing. on: March 12, 2025, 01:48:57 PM

I am also often like this, that's why I don't like just one slot game, I usually play more than 3 games, usually when one game makes me lose, I will move to another and quite often I manage to turn it around in the 3rd game and so on.

what I feel when I switch games is that my mood improves, and maybe the gambling algorithm is designed that way.

It could be, because every game we play does not necessarily give us an advantage, sometimes we are also made difficult at the beginning of the game by being defeated at the beginning of the game and but we will also be given victory, maybe several games, there are also those who have just played and are immediately given victory but things like that do not last long, which in the end we will experience continuous losses, what is important is how we manage our finances when playing, don't be too passionate about gambling, stay consistent and relaxed but sure, don't be too ambitious which will later make us lose, by playing in three games it makes us not accept continuous defeat, by playing in three gambling games maybe in one we have been defeated but there is still a second and third game that can make us profit and can cover the losses in the first game.
15  Local / Ekonomi, Politik, dan Budaya / Re: Bagaimana cara menghapus korupsi? on: March 11, 2025, 07:49:15 PM
Terlebih fenomena dimana para pelaku korupsi kerapkali bisa kembali mencalonkan diri sebagai kepala daerah atau anggota DPR dan bahkan ada yang terpilih, menunjukkan betapa kaburnya batas antara profesionalisme dan hubungan pertemanan. Para koruptor kelas kakap setingkat menteri atau dirut biasanya punya kolega dengan jabatan setingkat di pemerintahan yang diharapkan bisa menjadi "penolong" ketika kasus korupsinya terkuak. Prinsip "balas budi" masih sangat kental di pemerintahan kita yang mana justru itulah yang membuat Pemerintahan menjadi hancur lebur karena pemimpin dipilih bukan karena kemampuan tetapi karena dia adalah koalisi/tim pemenangan ketika di pemilu. Inilah yang membuat kita geram ketika melihat kasus-kasus korupsi di Indonesia yang hanya memanas di awal tetapi perlahan kasusnya akan menghilang begitu saja.

Itulah fenomena saat ini yang terjadi di negara kita, para pejabat tinggi negara sedang berlomba-lomba untuk korupsi uang negara, dimana saat ini sudah banyak terkuak kasus korupsi yang sangat meraja lela, bukan angka yang sedikit mereka korupsi uang negara, ratusan triliun mereka makan uang negara, masyarakay miskin semakin hari semakin bertambah, peluang lapangan kerja semakin sedikit, para pejabat malah seenaknya memakan uang negara hasil pajak dari masyarakat mereka sendiri, janji manis yang mereka keluarkan saat masa kampanye saja tidak berlaku lagi ketika mereka sudah menjadi pejabat negara, uang negara dengan mudah mereka ambil tetapi hukuman yang berlaku untuk mereka tidak sebanding dengan hukuman masyarakat biasa ketika kedapatan mencuri seekor ayam, sungguh sangat miris hukum di negara ini.

If Manchester United build their new stadium, it will have a capacity of 100,000 people. That would be a huge financial income for them. Old Trafford will become New Trafford. Grin
Maybe with the new stadium they will be a team that will fight for the championship again. Right now they are far away from that. Especially this season their position in the league is embarrassing.

Agree with what you said, for now Manchester United is not doing well, when will their curse be gone, for the past few years they have not been able to rise again like before, losing continuously, to Manchester United lovers must always be patient and willing to accept all these tests from their proud Club, because they have tried their best, maybe their fate is only up to that.

For now the highest points are still controlled by Liverpool and followed by Arsenal, between the two clubs one of the clubs that is easy to replace is Arsenal, because Arsenal has points that are not much different from Nottm Forest and Chelsea, both have points that are almost close and slightly different, it could be that they both will change Arsenal's position from second place to 3rd or 4th place.

Of course, this is not the only factor. Roma won the first match 2-1. Athletic Bilbao has no choice but to win this match. Bettors should be aware of this and see Athletic Bilbao as the favorite to win the match. If Roma, who have been in good form in the Italian league lately, beat the Spanish in this match, they will prove once again that they are one of the favorites for the cup.

Yes, Athletic Bilbao must be able to beat Roma at home in the upcoming match, because if Athletic Bilbao concedes again at home with full disappointment they have to go back to their hometown, because the temporary score between Roma and Athletic Bilbao 2-1 is still considered a narrow win for Roma, Athletic Bilbao must return the score at home at least 2-0 or 3-1.

Although it is rather difficult to be able to return the score with a fantastic number, Athletic Bilbao still has a wide opportunity in the upcoming match, because they must maintain the dignity of their team so that they are not defeated at home, it is a very strong struggle for Athletic Bilbao so that they are not defeated at home.

I also expect more goals from Barcelona in the second half. Because they are very active in the game they play and Benfica is forced to defend only. They cannot control the ball and they play very badly. If Barcelona gets another red card, Benfica may be able to catch the balance, but it is very difficult. Frankly, Benfica could only get to this round. Barcelona will score at least one more goal.

That's right bro, because tonight's game is very exciting, seeing Barcelona continue to control the ball and Benfica can only defend as much as possible, it is very difficult for Benfica to be able to equalize the score, because they are already far behind Barcelona, ​​tonight is the night of victory for Barcelona to continue to the next round.

In the second half we can see Barcelona's attacks continue to be deadly so that Benfica cannot hold the ball from their opponents, in my opinion Benfica tonight can no longer do anything, it is very unfortunate that they have to go home, Barcelona is likely to continue to increase the score from now 3-1 it could be 4-1 or 4-1, tonight the game played by the Barcelona team is truly awesome.

thats a super concerning issue, it really highlights the failures of the Ugandan government in protecting its youth, the corruption involved is staggering, it seems like these betting companies just bought off the politicians and now they're free to prey on vulnerable students, and it's not just about the students, it's about the whole country's future, how can anyone be okay with this, it's like they're selling out their own kids, what kind of society are we living in, it's time for the government to take responsibility and do something about it, this is a ticking time bomb, we can't just sit back and watch, something needs to be done

It's true as you said, the government must protect the future generation for our nation and country, because the future of the nation is in the hands of today's students, they are the ones who continue the optimistic and brilliant generation, don't let the current generation be damaged by gambling, because they are still dependent on their parents in terms of education and their respective living needs, don't let them be tarnished by actions that they shouldn't do, the current generation must be guided to become the golden generation of the nation and country, the hope of the country is in their hands, if not from now when will we fix it, don't wait for destruction before we take a stand for change.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why don't the majority of online casinos focus on creating their mobile apps? on: March 11, 2025, 03:08:12 PM
Maybe gambling owners saw that most people enjoyed online casinos during the pandemic, because people were only at home during the pandemic.
This means that online casinos became more popular because of the pandemic.

And even though the pandemic has been lifted, and there was more opportunity to promote online casinos because of famous influencers, so many people are still addicted to
gambling because of online casinos. In which is many people who are not in the time are also addicted.

Yes bro, because nowadays more people gamble in online casinos because it is easier to access wherever they are, they don't have to bother going to the casino anymore, by accessing it via their cellphones they can play casinos wherever they are, there are also those who gamble in casinos while lying down at home and there are also those who are having coffee with friends, because free access if the game is via online casinos, in my opinion it also makes it easier for us to gamble so that when we have free time we can play online casinos anytime and anywhere as long as we have enough capital to be able to play casinos from via our respective cellphones.
