Brighton oppressed Crystal Palace but Crystal Palace scored before and that is what makes Brighton to have the fear to introduce opprrssive methods in order to equalise the goal that was scored by Jordan Ayew, so what ever Brighton played in this match is in order to equalise not  to win crystal Palace, the both team participated very well because of the level of the players they have, so I was expecting Brighton to defeat Crystal Palace immediately Crystal Palace scored the early goal then I notice that it will take Brighton more time to score one goal to equalise because Crystal will be playing a defensive game in order to protect their goal,and it happens, its out of pressure Brighton equalise the match
The game ended in a tie, as expected, since I am confident that Brighton would not allow Crystal Palace to win because they are in form and have a superior team than them this season. I was surprised when Crystal Palace scored first, perhaps because they are playing at home, but I knew Brighton would score because in their last 30 matches, they have scored a goal in every match they have played, and only against Arsenal have they finished a match without a goal, which is why I am confident they will equalize before the end of the match.
Many people never taught that crystal Palace will be the one that score Brighton first, because everyone predictions lies that Brighton will defeat crystal because of they have lose three consecutive times they participate in match and they taught that Brighton will even score crystal Palace like three goals, theirs something I want us to know in football, it does not mean that any club or team that experienced constantly wining can continue to be wining other teams they feel that is the less club that get draw from them, actually their two performances was nice .

I mistakenly chose yes, but I wanted to choose no. I am not going beyond my gambling budget which is just 5% of my weekly income.
Actually gambling everyone have its limitations in gambling, when you gamble its you that will know your budget, so the ones that's is addicted in gambling is the that will not know the statistics of their weekends expenses in gambling, sometimes some people who has being beneficiary in gambling is the one that always seems weekends gambling as one of the good things so far, so I believe that a beneficiary in gambling have target and it always be accountable of any expenses he or her made in weekends gambles, so if you are not a lover of gambles you will not have budget for weekends gamble

To succeed in sports betting, you have to literally live the sport you are betting on. It is necessary to know statistics, individual characteristics of players, their game preferences, psychological characteristics and many other factors. Only then success is possible

Agree with you, with that we can judge for ourselves what sport we should bet on, supported by our liking for that sport and the pride of the team of players we choose ourselves, then there is a big chance that we will get the win we want.

If winning in a casino depends on luck alone, but in sports betting it depends on individual choice, then it is better to choose a team that has great strength so that we get a happy sensation when we win and we also support our own favorite team.
Both in casino game and sport be game or kind of gambling all are of same conditions, their is something I know quite well concerning a sport bet and casino wining in all this, it's measurable by luck and it's doesn't matter the individual players that is in a team, because you might see a team as a more less team and the one you look down on will happen to be the one that will win and that is why may people do say that gambling is unpredictable and their is no game that is called sure wining because predictions and forecast of games always fails and its not what you can depends on.

The score is likely to be a draw now because with difficulty Brighton can finally equalize the score in today's match.
The match has now entered extra time and it is likely that a draw will be the final result when looking at the performance of both teams in this match.
Brighton continued to press Palace throughout the match but on the other hand Palace also played very well in this match including the defence they did which made it very difficult for Brighton to penetrate the defensive area that was tightly guarded by Palace.
This is at least a breath of fresh air for Palace because after all they are fortunate to be able to draw even though it doesnt have too much impact on the standings but at least they still get 1 point that is very good only with this result Brighton is now threatened by West Ham who can stay away and reclaim the current 8th position.
Brighton oppressed Crystal Palace but Crystal Palace scored before and that is what makes Brighton to have the fear to introduce opprrssive methods in order to equalise the goal that was scored by Jordan Ayew, so what ever Brighton played in this match is in order to equalise not  to win crystal Palace, the both team participated very well because of the level of the players they have, so I was expecting Brighton to defeat Crystal Palace immediately Crystal Palace scored the early goal then I notice that it will take Brighton more time to score one goal to equalise because Crystal will be playing a defensive game in order to protect their goal,and it happens, its out of pressure Brighton equalise the match

This should be an easy victory for Real against Alaves , especially when h2h record is 9-1 for Real Madrid and I also expect them to win with at least 2 goals difference. There is also a possibility for a draw here but that should make Girona very happy and build more confidence inside that team.


If there is a draw for Real Madrid, it would be a great opportunity for Girona. Girona should have won the match with Real Betis, it was a very important match for the leadership. Real Madrid will not lose this match and will retain the leadership position minutes later. Girona has a tough opponent next week. Can we say that they have done well this far? Or is this journey not over yet? Frankly, I'm very curious.
The objective of Real Madrid in this match is to get draw because Real Madrid has gotten red card already by Nacho Fernandez so what they will be interested of is to play a defensive game so that Deportivo Alaves will not be able to take advantages of them with the shorten one player,because the previous matches of Deportivo Alaves they lose against Girona which the match ended 3:0 and they have lose almost three matches without wining in which without the red card by Real Madrid, Real Madrid would have defeated them, shall they still have more minutes to battle with their counterpart being Deportivo Alaves

Gambling is kind of thing we do base on our knowledge and not basically that someone pushed us into it, I know that gambling have to do with something I know very well that most people who plays gambling doesn't quite in gambling because of someone's advice, the major reasons why so many of them leave gambling might be aa result much losing, so if you don't want to be participating in gambling due to you are not benefiting in gambling again, you can as well understand that you have to leave gambling base on your detriment and your betterment, gambling is something we do without anyone teaching us the way forward.

One about betting is that betting is one of the things that make a way for someone that lacks hope again and also fade up for employment opportunities, but sometimes gambling or betting in rise someone that doesn't have hope again, so I believe that what we need to understand concerning gambling and concerning betting is luck, some can use it's last ten dollars to gamble and luckily the gambles turns out millions, so what ever that is happening with gambling is grace and opportunities, when you have the luck gambling can turn hopeless human being to millionaire and billionaire depends your luck in gambling
468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: December 20, 2023, 11:19:51 PM
Let's start with the simple choice: Do you consider yourself to have a gambling problem affecting your happiness, security, relationships, finances, etc? (Yes or No)
Now, here is something a bit different: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? Either you make enough income to call it "adult play", so you do not have real problems, and/or you simply stop for a long time. Then - months or years later - it gets worse again and you are in trouble.

(First question was above)
(Second question) Either way, when it's time to stop, how exactly do you do it? (For example) Change other habits, go new places, exercise more, stop drinking, simply "swear off" gambling... How exactly do you stop? Thank you.

 

The challenge that face many gamblers that can make them to think of themselves and also think if gambling is of better condition for them or not, their is something I have not understand concerning gambling, once people start not achieving what they were achieving in gambling for sometimes they will pause for gambling and once they are still making some certain profits with gambling you will see them not gambles again, so therefore I think that gambling have to do with benefits and when the benefits is not manifesting the way it use to be before, I don't think that it triggers a gambler to continue gambling

Basically whosoever that always gambles is a gambling addictive but a process whereby it gambles once in time or seasonal kind of gambling, Basically that person is not gambling addictive, but their is something that people misunderstood in gambling, you might be gambles and wining constantly, at that moment you are gambling and also wining gambling I know that what you are wining is Basically is because you are addicted in gambling that's what is making you to be gambling frequently, neither at situation you are losing or wining and you gambles almost every day you are addicted in gambling, the lose and wining doesn't determine addictive in gambling what matters is how regular you gambles

472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: December 17, 2023, 09:12:15 PM
What loneliness can contribute in gambling is making a gambler to think either good or bad in a gambler, maybe the thinking might lead into good predictions or wrong predictions,  do you know that whenever you are lonely you might have a good spirit In you or a bad spirit depends on your spirit, but when you say loneliness I think you may be misunderstanding it with gambling addiction, what causes gambling addiction is when you gamble and you win and after winning the first and second time even third time and you received your cash in quantum, so you make think that wining gambling is easy and you will become addicted in gambling without you knowing,  a loneliness can only make you to think of your so called life because is an opportunity for meditation
473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think that this is aperfect analogy of how gambling addiction starts? on: December 17, 2023, 09:03:55 PM
What that start gambling addiction is not about people that do not understand probability. When I was addicted, I understood everything and how I can lose, but I want to earn and make daily income from gambling. I thought I was better and looking for ways to earn money from it, but at the end, it was not a good story at all and I had to quit gambling for a year. This makes me think that others that are addicted is because they want to make money from gambling, looking for different strategies to increase the probability to earn than lose as I did when I was addicted but still nothing worked out as planned but losing money frequently.
You can not be addicted in gambling and also have other experience of escape root, and secondly in gambling once youa re addicted in gambling what you will be think is the process whereby you can be able to recover what you have spent so far in gambling, so addiction will make you to think that gambling is a source of living or source of life, so gambling have a spirit and once you start gambling you will definitely be thinking to make or win millions with gambling
474  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 17, 2023, 08:59:27 PM
Man Utd proving to be a hard nut to crack. I expected it btw because more often than not Big teams will often lose to smaller teams but deliver world class performance against teams in the top 4. This is becoming a norm especially this season with Chelsea deliver big performances against City, Liverpool and Arsenal but lost at home to Brentford some weeks back.
Anyway, second half is underway. I have my fingers crossed for this half and hope Liverpool finds the net on more than one occasion + 3 points.
Manchester United are playing a completely defensive strategy against Liverpool today. The United Ten Hag is well aware that Manchester United have no chance of winning against Liverpool. That is why he is keen to draw the match 0-0 by playing a defensive strategy.
Manchester United made only two shots in 65 minutes. And only 29% of ball possession. Liverpool's players have been dominating the match so far as well as trying hard to break down Manchester United's defence. But they are not succeeding. Liverpool have had 71% of the ball possession so far and have had a total of 19 shots. It will be very sad for Liverpool fans if Liverpool lose points despite such a good performance.
Yeah Manchester United where playing a defensive football, but also playing a counter attack game too, the game was more of clash of the titans, as the both teams played brilliantly, though that Red card given to Dallot towards the end of game was very unnecessary, I feel the ref made a mistake on that, onana on the hand performed excellently well today, the shots he saved where really impressive, if not Liverpool would have made it 2 Goals. Liverpool actually played like a home team, they where constantly trying to maintain the pressure on Manchester United. However the game ending goalless draw, was a fair share for both teams.

We don't usually see such poor defensive gameplay in the Premier League. And so I was very disappointed with Manchester United's performance in today's match. The players of Manchester United did not make any attempt to score. Manchester United is not a weak team. Despite having a strong squad, Manchester United's performance has been poor. But I would have been happy if Liverpool had won. Because in today's match, we are only dominated by Liverpool. I saw 69% possession of the ball by Liverpool players. At the same time, Liverpool players made a total of 34 shots. Even then he could not score a single goal.
However, Liverpool dropped 1 point behind Arsenal due to the loss of points in this match. Liverpool lost the top spot in the points table.
You shouldn't be disappointed by Manchester United performance, they've been inconsistent lately, remember they lost their last match, so draw against Liverpool isn't a bad idea. What is the essence of having a strong squad without winning games. So I feel they where even lucky in this game, because Liverpool where played as a home team with so much control on the ball leaving Manchester United on the defensive side.
You should be disappointed at Liverpool performance not Manchester United because everyone taught that Liverpool will totally win Manchester United, because the lose of Liverpool have remain them second in the table, Liverpool missed numbers of opportunities they would have utililize to defeat Manchester United, because the first half it seems that Manchester was playing Liverpool with fear and that is why they could not record at most one corner and all throughout first half Liverpool played Manchester United half field, even more. Salam tried as possible to score but luck was not by his side today to win a match, talking of man U performance, I don't what you expect from elephant and antelope fight, either antelope struggle to escape or it die on the process fighting with elephant,that is exactly what happened today
475  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: December 16, 2023, 06:17:15 AM
We should also be able to manage our finances well, I mean managing our finances for gambling and for our basic daily needs. Gambling with discipline can reduce the risk of loss, because with discipline a person will have limits in gambling so they will not gamble excessively, but no one knows those who have self-control or limits in gambling may change as the game progresses, because There are also those who have a target in gambling with limits but their motives change after being in the game. Also, everyone tends to change their minds under certain circumstances.

That's true, financial losses can be avoided with a set budget limit, but there's nothing wrong if they continue to gamble and are prepared for the risks that will occur. It doesn't matter, as long as you follow what you say and are prepared for the risks that occur. but if they deny what they say, then they are not committed to what they do.

If you can do that the chance of turning yourself to be addicted is slim, money management and the time that you spend during your gambling session will allow you to be responsible, it's tough but it is better than you feel sorry when the time of addiction already dominated, like how the doctors always saying, prevention is better than cure, playing with care and full responsibility will keep you away from exceeding and from losing a huge bunch of your finances.

I can agree with that, before you go into the brink of addiction, why not observe some practices that you think would help you in not going to this addiction stage?
It is hard if you are already too deep as getting out would take massive effort from your end.
And it is very difficult to battle yourself on this level. Unless, you have rock solid reason why the sudden change in your lifestyle.
But then don't trust too much yourself on this. Much better to be responsible while you are still early on this habit.
What do you think of gambling, a gambling is game of luck and when someone is being brought to play gambles either the person get addicted or the person fails to be addicted, so I believe that getting addicted in gambling is something of two ways, because why people get addicted is because they are ready to get what they have lose, so that is the major thing that pushed people to be addicted in gambling,  self control and self meditation is what can make people not be addicted in gambling as well.
476  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 16, 2023, 06:07:49 AM
Yes, it true that Arsenal needs this 3 points in other to be able to emerge 1st in the table against Liverpool, but that's the same way Brighten needs this same point to be able to come 7th on the table against Newcastle who they both have same point @ 26. So this match is literary going to be tough for both teams, of which although Arsenal has a better edge of winning this game, if they fail to play a more defensive and attacking game this coming Sunday, it's likely gonna end draw. But I'm it's gonna be G.G
Talking about a GG match, it's definitely going to be extremely difficult for the home side to net a goal. Roberto De Zerbi and his team will play against Mikel Arteta and the firing Gunners in Holloway, North London. What can we expect from the game? I'm looking forward to seeing the Gunners tear down Brighton & Hove Albion, who claim to be in desperate require of a winning. Despite the fact that we are acutely conscious of Brighton's prior colossal victories over Arsenal. This weekend, Arsenal will face the Seagulls at Emirate Stadium, a must-win for the Gunners in order to close the gap between them and Liverpool.
Arsenal's defeat last week was a blow to them and of course the Arsenal team does not want to drag on and wants to get up quickly so that they are not left behind by points in the current Premier League standings with the top teams which currently have quite fierce competition at the top.
On the other hand, Brighton currently seems to be experiencing a slight decline in performance and inconsistency in their team's play, so it is very possible for Arsenal to win this match, I am very sure of that.
Everyone is seeing it the same way, I don't think that arsenal can defeat Brighton easily as we all expected, it will not be easy for arsenal because they will fee relaxed and feeling to battle with Brighton is what will make them to lose the match, all eyes is on arsenal to win the match I don't think is possible because Brighton performance is good too but what you will say is that you can't compare arsenal performance with Brighton, I know that Arsenal will play Brighton reluctantly and that will make the match to be draw because Brighton can not defeat arsenal, but if doesn't look down on Brighton that means they can win the match easily
477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Type of gambling and Intelligence on: December 15, 2023, 07:20:13 PM
People's intelligence level cannot be determined by what type of gambling game they play.
There are many kinds of gambling games because everyone likes it, some like roulette, some like slots, some like soccer gambling, and so on.
It all depends on how much they like it, not how smart they are.

Moreover, the results of gambling cannot be guaranteed 100% no matter how clever a person predicts.
It all just depends on how well they manage the risk of the money at stake.
A gambling game doesn't measure by the level of intelligence, specific game to play in gambling is basically a personal choice is not something someone can come up and choose the one you will bet on, gambling have different varieties in you a gambler will make a decision to choose a particular game they want to play, so I basically believe that intelligence does not have a vital impact in gambling, a prediction in gambling can fail at any point in time, so that is why I said gambling does not have to do with brain intelligence
478  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers should not believe in first game win trap on: December 15, 2023, 07:10:08 PM
I noticed there has been some topics about how first time winning is dangerous. What I am saying is someone that has not gamble before, to gamble and win. That it is dangerous. Yes it may be dangerous because the person may have the exciting mind to gamble more  and lose. But that is not the whole true story.

If not talking about the first time loss gamblers that later become addicted, what you are saying is not completely true. If we can do a survey of gamblers that won or lost in their first game, the people that will chose won can not be 100%. They might not be 70%. It may be 50%. Some people will gamble for the first time and lose and continue to gamble. The main reason is because they think gambling is a way money can be made. Unless they change their the way they think about gambling, that gambling is is not a money making means, first time win or loss is not necessarily the cause of their addiction.

Gamble with the money you can lose.
We all know that gambling is all about luck and if you don't have luck I don't think you can win a gambling but from my understanding I'm seeing that gambling is something when you will win you won't know, so someone can gamble for the first time and win and it's base on the person's luck and same time someone can also gamble for the first time and lose and if he or she tries again and again the person will lose again it depends on the person's luck, so in all gambling is not something you can win and you boasts for it, basically a gambling is a game of opportunity and luck
479  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers trickily claims they wins the bet while they never did. on: December 15, 2023, 04:10:43 PM
Don't be deceived, not every gamblers who actually claims that they won really won.
Some falsefully speculates that they won just because they want to pave an ease to those who has been advising them to quit or limits gambling simply because the gambler has been unlucky to win instead he keep betting over and over without a good bankroll management in their gambling carriers.
They basically do this because they feels disturbed and inconveniences of the people's opinions and advices towards the gamblers unprofitable gambling experiences
That's true, not all the gamblers who come out to say that they won gambling is truth, so many of them don't know when they win gambling and so many of gamblers don't know how much they spend in the gambling, because basically gambling is something when you win you will think that your one time wining have recovered everything you have being spending in gambling, I know quite well many people do deceived people to gambling by telling their friends that they do win gambling almost ever week, don't follow people to gamble, just gamble when you feel to gamble it will be better than following people who lose everytime in gamble to gambling, that is why do say that we gamblers suppose to have annual records of gambling as year is getting to an end we have to cross check our gambling statistics to know how much we have spent and how much we have gained from gambling.
480  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 15, 2023, 04:01:16 PM
The season may look to have more to offer but right now we almost done with the first half of the season and any team at a top position and still but in as much effort in the next half of the season can have a very good turn out at the end of the season.
Well if I were to say who would be in the top six position at the end of the season I would say Arsenal at the first position just because I think they are solid and deserve it and then Manchester city, Liverpool and Aston villa then in six and fifth would be Newcastle and Tottenham.
Liverpool have sits on the first spot and we know how difficult it will be for these clubs to step down from this important positions. Arsenal has potentials of winning the EPL league this season but they're not consistent in performance, winning today and losing tomorrow is definitely not defines a true champions. Mikel Arteta will strive for more promising opportunities in mid-season, there's still hope for them and now is definitely not the time to start underperforming, rather its their time to outshine oppositions and ensure to grab golden opportunities in winning matches.
I have not really seen arsenal like team that will merit the league despite that their performance is very encouraging in this season, what about Liverpool team, they are performing very well and I think that if you give a Liverpool chance they will like to domanate or takeover from arsenal, I have not have that much confidence with arsenal carrying the league for now, if am well convinced of arsenal I will say it here, the match between arsenal and Brighton, I don't think arsenal can defeat Brighton in this match because I'm seeing that Brighton will not like to lose this the match why arsenal will be willing to defeat them, for Manchester United and Liverpool, from my predictions Manchester will lose the match against Liverpool.
