1261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many hours is the best time for a gambler to last while gambling? on: December 27, 2023, 01:13:02 AM
The more free time we have, the longer we are likely to be gambling. Because when we gamble too often, when we have free time, the first thing that comes to mind is gambling and even in the midst of busy work and fulfilling assignments, we still often think about gambling. So it becomes a little difficult for us to concentrate while working and carrying out tasks, because our minds become divided. And if we find something like that in ourselves, then it shows that we will be closer to feeling addicted to gambling itself. And to prevent this, it would be a good idea if we limit the gambling activities that we often do. I think once a week is more than enough, but that doesn't mean we only spend the day gambling, because there are other things we have to do. And to maintain physical health, the morning is the best time to exercise, such as jogging around the complex and in the afternoon enjoying this time with your family. So, for gambling, I think in the afternoon and evening is a suitable time for gambling, and we only dedicate about one to two hours of that time.

The first thing we have to do is to apply time limits and also financial limits, this needs to be done so that we manage our gambling activities well without having to interfere with other activities, to prevent big losses and to prevent the feeling of addiction to gambling, because the longer we When you play gambling, the closer you get to feeling addicted to gambling. Second, recognize and understand first the signs of the dangers of compulsive thoughts related to anxiety. and if you experience a feeling of uncontrollability when gambling, an inability to stop playing and always feeling regretful at the end of the game. and if you experience any of these three things, then it could be that you have compulsive thoughts related to anxiety. Third, if you experience this, then seek support, either from your close friends or someone you care about, and tell them about what you experienced while gambling. Fourth. Find activities that can maintain your daily productivity without any financial and emotional risks. As is the case in the fields of art, sports or social activities, which can really make our mood and mind feel calmer and better.

If we talk about the economy and technology, of course every year it continues to experience improvements and changes, the relationship between technology and the economy is very closely related, because technological development and progress will influence economic growth, and vice versa. In the past, to be able to get that money, someone had to leave the house and most of them worked relying on physical work. This is different from now, everything is practical and instant, and this can be realized because of technological developments and advances. However, this also causes some of the Gen Z generation to become lazy and not have their full potential. Even if you think about it again, with the presence of terkonlogi, someone will be able to generate income without having to leave the house. But for some reason some of them are really lazy to understand this.
1264  Economy / Economics / Re: My view of wealth and assets specially now on: December 26, 2023, 11:02:43 PM
If we store wealth in the form of paper money, then every year we will lose money. because paper money always experiences changes in exchange rates. And if we just want to maintain your wealth, then save your wealth in the form of gold, or in the form of currency, which is really stable. However, if you want to increase the wealth we have, then investing is the solution. And it is true that when we want to invest in other things such as real estate, we will be required to have quite a large amount of capital, and sometimes this is what makes some people confused when they want to start investing, they want to start but don't have enough capital. And with the presence of crypto and bitcoin, this should be a solution for those who want to start investing with minimal capital. but due to a lack of literacy and information, it turns out that there are still many people who don't know and understand what crypto is, what bitcoin is and what trading is.
1265  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 26, 2023, 05:49:46 PM
Roma performed very well after some bad results in the previous match. They have managed to get into 6th position and maybe they will continue to improve their ranking. I saw that in the previous two seasons they were always only able to appear in the UEFA European competition, so hopefully this positive result can enable Roma to appear in the Champions League next season.
In the next match, Roma will face Juventus, and this is a nightmare for Roma because, so far, Juventus has a very solid and strong team. Of course, Roma will have difficulty facing Juventus' strength. Roma must continue to play by controlling their emotions because, in the previous match, Roma looked full of emotion and often received violations.
This is still not necessarily a graveyard for Roma because after all this could be a momentum for them especially after managing to win quite convincingly against 9 man Napoli.
Juventus are definitely still the favorites in this match because after all with the current situation of Roma and Juventus, Juventus are still seeded especially they also play at home so surely this will be a pretty profitable thing for Juventus its just that there are indeed several other consideration that make it possible for Roma to win in this match.

Lukaku is still quite good at Roma  and even he became the top score for Roma as well as enlivening the top score of Serie A with his 8 goals to date so this could be another condition that makes it possible for Roma to score when facing Juventus especially Juventus obstacle to this day is their lack of productivity. 
1266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 26, 2023, 04:53:41 PM

Ancelotti is a coaching genius. Even with several key players from Real Madrid currently injured and sidelined, this man still keeps the team on a winning streak. However, there are concerns, especially with Madrid's defense. The players in that unit are facing a series of injuries, and it's truly challenging for any coach to manage. Ancelotti is running out of available options to boost the defensive line. Recruiting new players in the January transfer window seems to be the only viable solution at this point.
Now their performance is still proving to be good and I think this is a very good thing for Madrid because with the players who are sober in the midst of a hurricane of injuries they can still maintain the situation so this is a very good thing for Madrid but still in this case they also cannot be completely calm because this could sooner or later disrupt their stability.
Madrid will have to look for some options in the winter transfer window especially for their defense because apart from some of the players who are currently injured there are still some other players who are overextended such as Rudiger which makes him also vulnerable to injury which makes this a matter of further concern for Ancelotti.

Fortunately, Madrid's midfield and attack are still very much intact, especially in terms of goal productivity. Some of their young players including new players who came this season are still giving very good performances so that they are still maintained with performance and goal productivity.
1267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 26, 2023, 04:35:56 PM
This week they will be faced with a big match because the opponent is Manchester United although indeed until now Manchester United still has problems in terms of performance but of course this could be interesting because Manchester United is also not an easy opponent to beat.



Looking at the current odds, I am actually quite hesitant if I want to bet on one of the current clubs even though the odds are quite promising.
Manchester United's erratic situation, especially in terms of scoring goals, makes me uncertain about Manchester United but on the other hand they also don't want to lose the match at Old Trafford, of course, which makes this even more difficult to predict even though their performance has not been too good until now.
On the other hand, Aston Villa could have surprised at Old Trafford but with the situation and the draw they had in the previous week even though they were the favorites at that time made me also dare not be too high to speculate on Aston Villa in this match.
I will probably skip the betting for this match but I will watch because I think this is one of the matches that is quite interesting to watch.
1268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 26, 2023, 04:13:48 PM
@Roseline492 for Nice to takeover PSG they’ll have to hope that PSG lose two games or continuously draw matches but realistically I don’t expect that to happen unless suddenly PSG form takes a nosedive. Also it’s pertinent to note that with the January transfer window upon us they may just strengthen their squad to ensure they continue to remain ahead in the title race hence for now I can say that PSG will win the league title comfortably.

The current situation is too tough for Nice to try to disrupt PSG's dominance. Indeed, at the start of the season, we saw that they were not very good, but now they are improving gradually and starting to return to a good trend for PSG.
I think Nice can only show his best game this season. they don't have to be too ambitious to bring down PSG. do your best, if there is a chance then they will get it. otherwise, they will have to be satisfied with the final result. However, no team in Ligue 1 is a strong rival for PSG.
In the end in this case we have too many expectations too high at the beginning of the season just because PSG did not really show their consistency in Ligue 1 even though if we reflect further on the performance that PSG has always applied it is like that and it happened in the previous few seasons so that indeed with the improvement of a new club like Lens last season and Nice this season we expect too much even though the situation that occurs is the new season starts and towards the middle of the season or at the end of the season the results will still be the same where PSG is always the only club that survives until the end.

Conditions like this are actually very commonplace but indeed the problem is that until now there is still nothing that can rival PSG from resources and players so that no matter how hard some clubs want a surprise to be able to compete in Ligue 1 when their resources are not too adequate, the results will definitely be the same where they will not be able to make a breakthrough because they are hindered by consistency considering that the players must slowly begin to experience problems because they are too portioned.
1269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It is you who can't stop betting. on: December 26, 2023, 11:30:22 AM
In several posts I always mention that it is not gambling that is wrong, it is ourselves who are wrong, both in understanding gambling itself and when playing it. because whether gambling is good or not depends on who plays it.
On the one hand, gambling can be very beneficial by making gambling a place to relieve stress and find fun. But on the other hand, gambling can also be very detrimental. In fact, quite a few people can be financially, economically and even have their families destroyed, just because of carelessness in gambling.

And it is true that gambling addiction can not only be triggered by external factors, but internal factors also greatly influence it. For someone who is quite aggressive and ambitious in gambling, most of them find it very difficult to control themselves and their emotions when gambling. And they also find it difficult to make the right decisions when placing bets, so it is very easy for them to become addicted to gambling.

Pada politik modern saat ini, memang terkait daripada media massa menjadi bagian yang integral dari politik. Media massa telah diajadikan sebagai alat untuk mengartikulasikan akan sebuah kepentingan tertentu. Dan pada musim politik seperti ini, bukan hal aneh lagi jika kita menjumpai banyaknya media massa yang terindikasi sebagai partisan dari salah satu partai, yang hingga akhirnya mucul sebuah dikotomi media massa pasangan no urut 1, media massa pasangan no urut 2 dan media massa pasangan no urut 3. Dimusim politik seperti ini akan menjadi hal yang sangat sulit untuk menemui media massa yang berprilaku netral dan berjalan sesuai dengan fungsinya.

Posisi surya paloh jelas pada saat ini adalah ketua partai sekaligus sosok dibalik pencalonan Anies sebagai presiden pada pemilu kali ini. Jadi wajar saja jika saat ini Metro TV begitu menyoroti pasangan AMIN dan mengagung-agungkan paslon tersebut.  Begitupun dengan hary tanoe yang menjadi pengusung dibalik pencalonan ganjar sebagai presiden, bahkan dalam beberapa acaranya seringkali melibatkan ganjar.
Sementara ketika berbicara TV ONE, memang sayapun melihat pada saat ini media massa tersebut sedang berusaha semaksimal mungkin untuk berprilaku netral.

1271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: December 25, 2023, 04:34:30 PM

Another more interesting match is Feyenoord vs Roma but this match seems difficult to predict because Feyenoord is in good condition in the domestic league and Roma also after beating Napoli indeed if you look at Roma they are in high confidence after beating Napoli so it could be that this will happen become a benchmark for Roma to show their ability to maintain their good performance in the Europa League like last season.
It's a match with a grudge that certainly need to be settled. The last 3 matches  in the final as well as the first and second legs  in the Europa League phase last season were always full of drama including a massacre with a red card drama for Feyenoord.

It is interesting indeed and it is likely that this match will be full of drama again because looking from what is happening at this time both still have the momentum to be able to win in this play off.
The problem in this case is how Roma maintain the momentum. At the moment their momentum is still very good its just that by looking at the matches that are still quite long and the condition of Roma which is sometimes still unpredictable, I think it will still be difficult to predict how they will perform although in terms of players Roma will still be a favorite with Lukaku as their goal machine. 
1272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In The Span Of six months what will make you trust a new casino on: December 25, 2023, 04:11:04 PM
Talking about complaints and accusations, of course there is always a complaint at the end, because no casino can guarantee that it will always provide good and excellent service without any interruptions. To be precise, they only try to provide the best service, so that their visitors can remain loyal and loyal to visit the casino. And speaking of accusations, currently online gambling is quite popular and has a lot of fans, and the increasing number of gambling sites from day to day makes business competition in the world of gambling very tight. so accusations of fraud leveled at one particular casino are normal. But even so, this greatly affects the reputation of a casino.

And I can trust that the casino is really safe to visit, when the reviews on the casino look pretty good, because good reviews can, in a small way, convince someone to trust that casino. But to ensure this, we have to actually visit the casino. and after that we give an assessment about whether the casino is good or not.
1273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lack of proper knowledge on casino games increases chance of loss and reduce fun on: December 25, 2023, 03:44:23 PM
Yes... Lack of sufficient knowledge about casino games can increase the risk of loss. because this can allow us to play carelessly without going through a proper process and decision. With good understanding and sufficient knowledge, it is not difficult for us to create a strategy so that we can always increase our chances of winning and make better decisions. also reduces the risk.

And I also agree that without sufficient knowledge, our enjoyment of gambling will be slightly reduced. and this can happen because without sufficient knowledge and good mastery of the game, this will create a little doubt when we gamble so that our enjoyment will be slightly disturbed. It's different when we have good knowledge and mastery of the game, then we will always be confident when gambling, so that this can add to the fun.
1274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Innovation in online gambling on: December 25, 2023, 03:16:38 PM
Innovation in online gambling covers many things, including game features, innovative products and services.

And currently online casinos provide quite extraordinary features, as well as the products or games they provide. because talking about animation in online gambling I feel quite satisfied. However, when talking about service, there are still many gambling sites that don't pay attention to the services provided, I even came across one site that took quite a long time to carry out transactions, this can make some gamblers bored. waiting, and so do I personally. and with these technological advances, casinos should be able to provide fast and easy service.
And one more thing, currently several gambling sites provide chat features so that visitors can immediately complain about the problems they are experiencing, but it is a shame that some of them are very slow in responding to messages sent by their visitors.
1275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should mentally unstable people be allowed to gamble? on: December 25, 2023, 02:56:15 PM
When a person is mentally disturbed, it is not only thoughts that can change, but his behavior also changes, which makes him an unkempt person.

And people who are addicted to gambling, most of them are only disturbed in their thoughts and behavior, where they may have difficulty concentrating and become very passive and impulsive. Meanwhile, in terms of appearance, they look fine.

And if I were a casino owner, I would forbid people who have mental disorders and are not well looked after from visiting my casino, who even though their behavior is not disturbing, but in appearance of course the person is very disturbing, which might make a little people are disgusted by his presence. And to keep regular customers who visit my casino, I cannot invite just anyone to visit and gamble at my place.
1276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should security be employed in local bet shop? on: December 25, 2023, 02:20:07 PM
Only a few local casinos really pay attention to the comfort and safety of their visitors, the rest of the local casinos only want that the place will be busy with visitors, but they forget one thing that without comfort and security, gamblers will be a little reluctant to visit the casino. This can happen because local casinos really lack people who work professionally so the service provided by them is still far from optimal. Local casinos never forbid anyone from gambling there, so it's natural that we often find people behaving strangely there.

This is different from big casinos or international casinos, they really pay attention to everything including the safety and comfort of their customers, because they know very well that those who come to their place are not just ordinary people, but some of them are their honored guests. So to keep regular customers so they can continue playing there, it is important for casino owners to always maintain the safety and comfort of their customers.
Plus big or international casinos, they really prioritize reputation and popularity. Because this really affects the sustainability of the casino.
1277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 25, 2023, 01:42:52 PM
It's a choice that Zidane still holds and I don't think it's about  selfishness but commitment.
He is always careful in choosing a club and this is the way he continues to maintain his image as a coach who is taken into account  rather than just choosing a job that is ultimately detrimental to himself so it would be better if he was more selective and that is still proving to be very good now.
Instead of saying he's selfish Id rather say that Zidane is one of those coaches who is pretty good at keeping the commitments hes held over the years whether its as a coach or as a player.

On the other hand he has always emphasized that he will not be in the EPL and that is not selfish but a choice he has made so it is ridiculous when EPL clubs continue to force the will for Zidane to coach there which is unlikely and a waste of time. It's not about money and resources but I see that sia only wants to coach where he will benefit in terms of performance and the career he has built so neatly is not destroyed. 
Zidane is one coach that understands class and class doesn’t just come with winning trophies but also with maintaining standards. Because the pay is mouthwatering and good doesn’t mean he has to run and chase them, after running therein and the club flops, what happens to his career? All in jeopardy, therefore I doubt if he'll coach in the EPL.

This I’ll call commitment and class. He prefers to maintain his standard than get involved in a shitty system. Zizou knows the EPL is one hell of a league and has still stood his ground on not wanting to coach there. And I don’t see him changing that stand soon more especially for his footballing and coaching career, well I think he might decide to coach at PSG if Lius Enrique fails to deliver and gets sacked, or better still go back to coaching Madrid after Ancelotti leaves.
It's the same as what I said when it comes to commitment and it's important because he's already set his standards, so why would he push himself for big money if he's going to ruin his career in an instant. Zidane does not want that because in addition to money there must be guarantees that he will get to be at a certain club because if it was money that was sought then PSG would have already taken him because several times Zidane was approached with big money just to train PSG but he continued to reject it.
There are many examples of some coaches who immediately lost their standards because they chose a club that was not very appropriate. We take the most recent example perhaps Potter at Chelsea. Honestly when at Brighton I was one of the people who liked Potter's leadership style for a club and his career was ruined after he tried his luck at Chelsea. Zidane doesn't want to do something like that because if you look at Zidane's leadership style when in Madrid we know that he is one of the coaches who is quite ambitious when pursuing a target so he will not choose a club whose progress is low just because of the offer of money.
1278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 25, 2023, 01:29:14 PM

Talking about Dortmund, Bayern Munich's arch-rival. Dortmund's performance in the Bundesliga was relatively poor in the first half of this season. Mr. Terzic's students are the team that scores the fewest goals in the top 5 and concedes the most destinations. Dortmund's goal can only be to reach the top 4 of the Bundesliga to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Bayer Leverkusen replaces Dortmund. Has shocked the football world with 25 unbeaten matches on all fronts this season. Xabi Alonso team dominated most of the early matches of the season. It will not be too delusional for us to hope that they will defeat Bayern Munich to win the championship this season.
Looking at what happened to Dortmund in this case, they can actually be said to be the same for every season because if we really realize what they always do at the beginning of the season then indeed this season is not too much different from what they did last season. It's just that the difference that occurs here is when previously there were not several clubs that were enough to be a surprise in the competition in the top 4 but now it has begun to be felt. Now especially when talking about the beginning of the season now we know how impressive VFB's performance was even though it has now begun to slacken. In addition, Leverkusen are also back on a very good track for them and the 2 usual suspects Dortmund and Leipzig are definitely being challenged although this season Freiburg and Union Berlin are not as scary as previous seasons but this will provide more competition for Dortmund.
But whatever happens I still believe in Dortmund right now, not for the championship but to stay in the Champions League because they always do that.
1279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 25, 2023, 12:58:23 PM

Xavi Hernandez will try to make things right when the second half of the season begins. Barcelona are good at giving time to their legends. A good example is Koeman who was worst than Xavi Hernandez, regardless of the poor performance and results he was still backed up by the management and given time to fix the club. It was obvious he wasn't the man for the club.

Finishing on top of the league getting doubtful, but finishing top four would be possible to achieve. They're not same club, Barcelona regardless of all these things remains a big club. Real Madrid would win the league or Girona in my opinion.
Even though the hope is like that i think with the current conditions it is not too easy to improve even in the middle of the season unless there are some improvements that occur for their players especially for the attack line.
Gavi still won't be playing and this could indirectly weaken the situation in attack, and the option to bring Ansu back from Brighton is also out of the question as Ansu is also out injured for at least a few months.

Barcelona  current attacking line is still a problem that will indeed be problematic with some players like Lewandowski who failed to show his good performance like in the first season when he came.
In addition the difficult financial condition  for Barcelona at the moment make them stuck with the difficult situation they feel because with this they cannot add players because their finance are still limited due to some previous problems that have resulted in them having to save their finances.
1280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 25, 2023, 10:57:27 AM

I'm curious why Zidane is so detailed in choosing a club, because based on not wanting any problems, I think Zidane is selfish. What I mean by selfishness is because problems will always exist in small and large clubs, even though a stable financial condition does not mean that a club does not have problems in its camp. So I think Zidane is more likely to shy away than accept the challenge of positioning himself as a great coach. Because what I know is that a great coach is a coach who is able to solve problems in a club so that it brings change for the better. Try to find a truly perfect club without any problems. I guarantee you will never find this club.  Cool
It's a choice that Zidane still holds and I don't think it's about  selfishness but commitment.
He is always careful in choosing a club and this is the way he continues to maintain his image as a coach who is taken into account  rather than just choosing a job that is ultimately detrimental to himself so it would be better if he was more selective and that is still proving to be very good now.
Instead of saying he's selfish Id rather say that Zidane is one of those coaches who is pretty good at keeping the commitments hes held over the years whether its as a coach or as a player.
