So far Nottingham Forest for the last 5 matches have not won except for a lot of draws, so here I conclude Liverpool can win more easily even more than two goals that's what I think, on the other hand we heard news from Luiz Diaz's family that his parents have been kidnapped in Colombia, now only the father needs to be saved.
I hope Diaz stays mentally strong.


Easy win for Liverpool and it's going to be in front of the Kop. Although Nothingham forest won Liverpool last season, it's a much better team now thanks to the additions that made the midfield much more solid and reliable so I expect Liverpool to win effortlessly. I do hope that Salah and Nunez gets on the scoresheet because it would benefit my FPL team and parley bets.

If we look at the difference between the two in the current conditions then yes I would agree with you, and maybe some people will also assume the same that this is a fairly easy match for Liverpool. In ten matches Liverpool managed to win six matches, three draws and only one defeat, while in the Notingham Forest camp from the last ten matches they could only win two wins, three defeats and the rest mostly drew, this made them finally in the bottom 15. Maybe I think with these statistics alone we can already confirm who will be able to get full points in this match, although yes, however Notingham Forest will fight hard to get full points but the difference in their performance is quite far and Notingham Forest's hard work will not be too promising when faced with a team that is far above them. Moreover, Liverpool are now in the top five, they will definitely fight hard to win full points, none other than because after all they have to go up in the hunt in the standings, and at least to shift the position of Manchester City to secure their position and increase the chances of qualifying for UCL. Yes, I hope M.Salah and Nunez will be able to maximize their front line with sharp attacks.

Mostly the new gambler understand the fact it’s hard to chase the loss in the real gambling games.Nearly the 20 percentage of the loss will be covered by the gamblers,but the reaming loss can be covered if they ready to play the game till the end.In order to recover the loss in the gambling,the gambler should train himself to get the loss money with the full effort.It may take time,some times few days and sometimes it take over some years.But the gambler should wait to meet the loss money to the profit from the same gambling sites.It may be added some more dollars in the regular way to get back the loss.

This is easy to say than done since we are talking about gambling and not trading. People gamble because they want a quick profit. It’s obvious that anyone with losses on gambling will do the quickest way as much as possible to recover their losses. Playing slowly to recover losses is a good idea but that kind of patience level is very hard to apply on gambling since people will not gamble if they have that patience.

This chasing loss is the typical error of players which the casino really like that’s why they give some cash back feature just to encourage user to play since they some insurance when they lose.

True, whatever they say about gambling is not going to be true, especially when it comes to some of the self-control that they say, honestly I wouldn't really believe what they say because obviously it's very difficult to be able to apply some boundaries when you're gambling, it's almost impossible although maybe yes there are some who can do it but most of what I know is that they just talk the talk and don't act according to what they said before. I agree with that, one of the reasons why they come to gambling is because they see an opportunity to get easy money when it's not as easy as they think, and I say that opportunity is just a trap to keep them gambling indefinitely.

Although they may be very patient with their efforts to recover the losses in the previous time but I can't be sure if they will actually be able to recover it, because obviously the final result refers to luck so maybe even though they have tried dozens of times it could fail and what happens is the amount of loss is even greater, it is very possible because of course there is no guarantee whatsoever to be able to win.

Well of course, chasing defeat in my opinion will only waste their time, before gambling you should be able to understand the rules, if you lose then you have to be sincere because it is very unlikely for anyone to return the defeat, as I said above, it's just about luck. The casino will only give winnings to tempt the gambler back to continue playing, that's all.

The point is that self-awareness is very important in problems like this, because addiction is not a physical disease but a disease that exists in the human subconscious where their mindset has been disturbed in terms of expectations in gambling. If they are already aware then it is clear that they will not do the same thing or repeat their mistakes again, with that then I think the reduction session in the form of time and budget they can definitely do, that's because their mindset has slowly begun to recover by considering gambling as it should be and not caring too much about expectations. Preferring to allocate their money to other important things in life is better and I think they will do this if they really realize. True, as you said the number of losses will usually be higher than the number of wins, that's for sure in my opinion and therefore for those who are still not too far in gambling I hope they will keep their mindset so as not to overdo it, don't put too much hope there because obviously this is just profit - profit only and in addition there is no guarantee whatsoever to win.
Gambling addiction is a constant desire in one's mind to be able to gamble more often. Still, the problem is that many of those who are addicted to gambling don't have a lot of money so when they lose, they have to wait until they can have money to continue gambling. During that waiting time, they can experience various kinds of problems such as discomfort, frustration, and others because they can't wait to be able to continue gambling. People who are addicted to gambling really need help and whether they realize it or not, the people around them must start to realize the fact that they need to help people who are addicted to gambling. And before someone becomes addicted to gambling, he should be aware that playing gambling has many risks and the worst thing is experiencing a gambling addiction so he needs to have or learn good self-control so that he is not affected by gambling.

And also none other than their desire to continue gambling is based on curiosity and greed for the winnings that are difficult for them to get or want to increase the amount of winnings that they have clearly gotten, but like those who are addicted they will never be enough with what they have gotten and always want more than that. In my opinion, it is quite natural why most of those who are addicted are from the lower middle class or in the sense that their finances are not good, it is none other than their goal to come to gambling because they want to increase their finances by making some wins that are clearly very difficult to get, instead of getting a win but the opposite happens, they actually suffer a lot of losses and after that they are even crazier to chase the win because they don't accept the defeat at the previous time. For the problem of impact, don't ask anymore, as you said the pressure they will definitely feel and also even to depression and the worst impact maybe they will be stressed and also maybe they could commit suicide because they are not strong with such conditions, I don't rarely find cases like that. If the level of addiction is very severe then yes they need help from others, because it is impossible with conditions like that they realize by themselves, I hope anyone who is now still gambling please stay firm on self-control.

Not many people can have that kind of control and must continue to practice it until they can really master it so that they will have no difficulty saying that he has had enough gambling, and now they have to stop gambling. We have to manage our gambling time so that we don't suffer many losses because we gamble using money, whereas many of us use money for our families. It is true that we must always limit the use of money for gambling and how long we gamble so that our minds will not think about gambling and the wins or losses we experience. We should start using these limits rather than later regretting that we have become addicted to gambling.

If the money you are using for playing feels like a reasonable amount and keeps bothering you all day, then it is tough to keep yourself in control when you start to lose.
It's crucial to know when to walk away after big wins or losses.
Depositing only a small portion of your money into gambling account, say around 2%-5% of left money after covering all your expenses, is a smart move. When it's not a resonable amount, you won't be worried about losing it. When you will noy be too worried about losing that small portion, them you are less likely to keep trying to win it back. This can help you to not get addicted to gambling.

That is the importance of preparing or using money to gamble responsibly, or that means allocating money that you are ready to take responsibility for if something happens to your money when playing one of them loses.

This must be done because it is quite important, if only you allocate money for your kitchen needs or your life needs then surely when you experience defeat you will be upset and not accept the results, even though in simple gambling if you don't win then you will lose, and vice versa, so you have to be a responsible gambler and also wise for whatever will happen. This will also help you or make it easier for you to apply good self-control, because from the beginning you have prepared money ready if you lose later, and if you really lose in the end then I think it will not be too difficult for you to get out of gambling at that time.

And also yes I agree with your assumption, it is better to deposit 2 - 5% of the budget of your remaining needs or life interests at that time in your gambling account. That will be very useful to prevent things that are not wanted and for the final result will also definitely not be too significant in terms of risk. Yes, it's true, this way you won't be chasing the winnings so much or it won't be so overwhelming, but I think the main point is that they have to correct their mindset first and not at all consider gambling as a place to earn other than fun.

In addition to a little, I also think it is almost impossible to get success, besides that these actions will also only make your situation worse, instead of returning the previous defeat but what happens is that the number of defeats increases, and that is the cycle that always happens and is suffered by gambling addicts.
The only way a gambler to success in chasing losses is he need to hack the site and steal as much as he can lol.

I imagine if someone is successfully recover all of his previous losses, I don't think he will completely quit gambling, but I believe he will try to gamble in order to earn more. A gambling addict will not change if he's not realize and have a commitment to gamble only for fun.

Well that makes more sense, that way he will continue to earn money, and if his hacking is completely unknown by casino security then he will be able to earn money consistently and as long as he wants. And on the other hand the way they can succeed in gambling in my opinion is that they have to become the house itself, or create their own casino. You may know the casino makes a system to defeat always dominate the gamblers and that means the big and real profits are not made by the gamblers but by the casino itself, why is it like invisible and difficult to realize by the gamblers? Because the casino has a very smart system or rule, it involves the mindset and mentality of the gamblers who play there, such as for example ten defeats will be treated with just one win (mentally), and just try to calculate the number of defeats is much greater, but strangely most gamblers will not think about that, they will only be very happy when they get a win even if it's just one time out of dozens of losing attempts, and I say that's the smartness of the casino, they will give one win and exchange it for 9 defeats from the gamblers, obviously it's more profitable.

I call it greed, who doesn't want money? everyone needs money, and when they see in gambling there is an opportunity to make money then obviously even if for example they have managed to return the loss, after that they will be greedy and feel great that they have been able to return the loss in the previous time, they will never feel enough with any results there. None other than all that happens because of the factor of excessive expectations and their mistake in understanding what exactly is meant by opportunities in gambling, even though there is absolutely no guarantee. And I say this cycle will never end if they don't stop it themselves, because if it continues it will only make things worse.
606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not keeping records makes me a bad gambler? on: October 28, 2023, 09:22:56 AM
And indeed this is a positive side or as a good reciprocity why they should keep a record of all the money they have allocated to gambling, do not always remember the victory but try to be patient by seeing how much they have lost. After all, this is also for their own good, and if they really love themselves then obviously I think there is no other reason for them not to reduce their gambling.

Yes, it is true that all of this we do is for our own good, basically it is better to prevent than to cure, because of course being in a gambling addiction is very unpleasant and I have felt that every time I experienced a lot of pressure in terms of finance. Money that was supposed to be used for living needs instead I used to gamble in the hope that there would be a much bigger return and in the end it turned out that all the money was gone, honestly I was almost depressed and didn't know where to look for help. So the point is it doesn't matter if they can't leave gambling because I understand to stop completely it's almost impossible at one time, well one way is to reduce your gambling activities and also reduce the amount of your budget, don't be too curious about winning because even though your budget is small if you are lucky then you will also win even with a small amount, but it's better than you losing 100% of the money you have. So just allocate at least 5% of the money you have if it's just for fun, it's better.
By seeing how much they lose, they can learn that they have used too much money and if they can reduce the amount of money, they can use the money for other things that might be more useful. And when compared, there is a possibility that the number of wins will be smaller than the number of losses because we will rarely get big wins. We lose more often and if there is no self-control, the number of losses will increase and even exceed our expectations.

The point is that self-awareness is very important in problems like this, because addiction is not a physical disease but a disease that exists in the human subconscious where their mindset has been disturbed in terms of expectations in gambling. If they are already aware then it is clear that they will not do the same thing or repeat their mistakes again, with that then I think the reduction session in the form of time and budget they can definitely do, that's because their mindset has slowly begun to recover by considering gambling as it should be and not caring too much about expectations. Preferring to allocate their money to other important things in life is better and I think they will do this if they really realize. True, as you said the number of losses will usually be higher than the number of wins, that's for sure in my opinion and therefore for those who are still not too far in gambling I hope they will keep their mindset so as not to overdo it, don't put too much hope there because obviously this is just profit - profit only and in addition there is no guarantee whatsoever to win.


That is why we have to allocate a certain amount to play gambling and there is no need to allocate a larger amount just because we lose. It is precisely by experiencing defeat that we must be able to introspect ourselves that what we are doing is starting to become excessive. We must be able to reduce it, either slowly or immediately reducing the allocation of funds for gambling. In that way, we can hope that we can reduce our gambling and we also do not take the risk of losing too much money because we already have the experience of losing big money so we try to prevent it from happening. We can only continue to try to control the use of funds for gambling so that we can gamble responsibly.

Well yes that's right, we must be able to realize and also with a little self-introspection when we have experienced a large enough defeat that you absolutely cannot accept, with that we should be able to think that even though you bring a large budget but it still can't change anything. It's really just about luck, and you've proven that any way doesn't work, one of which is bringing a large enough budget. I hope that you or anyone who is still gambling now can learn from the experiences I've had above. It only makes things worse. So there is nothing better unless you stop, it's okay, you can start slowly to get a little better and hopefully you can continue to do it consistently.

I was confident that they would get through this group without any trouble, and sure enough they are now top of the table with perfect points from their three matches. Erling Haaland also scored again in this match after he had struggled to score in several matches. Yes, in terms of strength, the team that is their opponent in this match is quite a big difference, so this victory has been predicted before.
With the points they are currently collecting, 1 more win will ensure they qualify from the group stage, and I'm sure they will.
There are no strong opponents in Group G so it is clear that Manchester City does not have any obstacles to qualify from this group. And it has been proven that so far no team has been able to beat Manchester City, after all they are the favorites to win the UCL so I think it is very natural.

Erling Haaland so far is still the same as last season, he is still the spearhead who is always relied on by Manchester City's front line, but if he hasn't met a tough opponent I can't say that Manchester City have proven themselves, we'll just have to wait in the know out round. Later, to what extent Manchester City can maintain its performance.

And it can be confirmed that with this situation or condition, Manchester City will definitely qualify for the group G stage, yes it is true and on the other hand Guardiola's squad is favored to become UCL or Premier League champions, as happened last season when they won the Trebble Winners achievement. With their very good and consistent performance, I think there is no reason for me to doubt their next performance, because on the other hand they have provided enough concrete evidence in several previous competitions that they are extraordinary and they are capable.

Haaland has no doubt in terms of its quality so it is very natural that many people have made it a favorite player in recent seasons. Guardiola has a very good strategy in midfield with some ball possession that always dominates and as a final solution they can always take advantage of that opportunity on the front lines with a very ferocious scoring machine like Haaland. I have nothing but hope and fingers crossed that Manchester City can maintain this form to dominate the league at the end of the season.
608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: October 27, 2023, 12:18:48 PM
Only few gamblers succeed in chasing their losses, the motivation to recover our losses backfires because we are trying to win back the money that we've previously lost, when you're chasing your losses you are pressured to win and because you think you fumble on your votes and commit error after error, I've experienced this and the feeling is so bad that I can't eat in a few days because the what if, keeps running in my mind.
Chasing losses is a big nightmare for gamblers because you cannot think clearly and you feel you are in hostile territory, It is better to keep in mind that whatever happens, you will not chase your losses.

In addition to a little, I also think it is almost impossible to get success, besides that these actions will also only make your situation worse, instead of returning the previous defeat but what happens is that the number of defeats increases, and that is the cycle that always happens and is suffered by gambling addicts.

An addict will usually treat frustration over his defeat with some motivation that they create themselves, that is one of their wrong actions, already knowing their mindset is wrong but instead believing in assumptions that come out of their own minds instead of seeking some help from others through some advice. They will always justify their own wrong actions, with all positive mindsets such as "I'm sure in the next experiment I will be able to get a real victory", but in the end they still lose lol, it doesn't just happen once but it has become a cycle that they will continue to live indefinitely.

You have felt it yourself, because it is true that the pressure due to such conditions in gambling is very bad, so you even don't eat for several days, and not only that, but other unexpected things are also very likely to feel like depression or even act out of control. So the point is that there is no point in you chasing losses because gambling is just a matter of luck and why the final result is always not what is expected? because there is absolutely no guarantee that you will win.

Although this alternative is quite good but everything will return to their respective awareness, because it is useless if they take notes but do not find any awareness to get better. Management is one of the most important things in any field or profession or even in our real life, we must be able to make everything run in balance using this management. Well it is true that there are also those who do not record like this at all, as you said it is because they still feel that their gambling is still manageable or maybe they feel that they have not lost too much money, it is also quite good as long as what they say is not just a feeling but in accordance with reality.
It is true that you said that awareness is really needed in this case so that they can start reducing their gambling if they have spent too much gambling. This is done so that they can avoid the biggest problem that gamblers will experience, namely gambling addiction, especially if they do not impose restrictions while gambling. It will only make them addicted to gambling in a short time and when that happens, they will not even realize it because they are too engrossed in gambling. If everything goes in balance, they will not experience any problems. They can instead enjoy gambling as entertainment that uses money, but the use of money will not be as big as other people's because they always try to limit their gambling games.

And indeed this is a positive side or as a good reciprocity why they should keep a record of all the money they have allocated to gambling, do not always remember the victory but try to be patient by seeing how much they have lost. After all, this is also for their own good, and if they really love themselves then obviously I think there is no other reason for them not to reduce their gambling.

On the other hand, I don't think it will be an easy matter for Manchester City because apart from their away match against Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag's team is in its best performance after being down for a long time and even in the last few matches they have won dramatically. Previously, Manchester United also received an injection of motivation after achieving their first win in the UCL competition. Maguire and Onana are in good form from Manchester United and it is likely that both of them will be mainstays for defensive matters in the future. Well, it's a match worth waiting for this week and wondering who will win later.
Despite Manchester United won in the last three matches, but they were struggle since they only won with one margin and those are against weak teams e.g. Copenhagen, Sheffield United, and Brentford.

If you think Manchester United would give a good match against Manchester City, it's not make sense, Manchester City surely beat Manchester United.

Right now, Manchester is Blue. Tongue

It makes sense, of course the three opponents that Manchester United managed to beat in the previous few matches as you mentioned are far from comparable to Manchester City. And honestly in my opinion this can in no way be a positive speculation that in the next match against Manchester City at Old Trafford Manchester United will have a good or great opportunity to end up with the full three points.

As we see how Ten Hag's squad is performing now, they are 8th in the standings and of course the difference is very far if we measure it with Guardiola's squad where they can always dominate the full three points at the end of the match, yes even though this season I see them not too promising. But for the next match against Manchester United, obviously I am very confident that Manchester City have a greater chance than Manchester United. Honestly I can't predict the score but certainly maybe some speculation will also say assumptions like me.
611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: October 26, 2023, 10:58:37 AM
I’m not a regular gambler nor an addicted gambler but I recently experienced a terrible chasing loss that start with small amount. I’m on a day off on my job right now due to my minor flu. My feeling got better while I don’t have things to do on my work dormitory so I decided to just gamble for fun only.

My game start by just betting minimum bet on a blackjack table with my initial deposit of 85$ which is my signature campaign earning last week. I lose my initial bank roll with just few bets on consistent losses. I decided to deposit again but this time with higher bankroll which is 250$. I bet twice the minimum bet this time since my bankroll is higher, the result is much terrible loss.

Lastly, I deposit 1800$ to have a better bankroll again, This time I’m betting like a high roller and lucky manage to recover my losses and bag 150$ profit.

Conclusion: I will never gamble again when I’m bored or chase loss small amount. With this exhilarating experience. I think I will stop gambling for a long time and reflec on what dumb thing I do today.

Even though you experience defeat in gambling, I think you are a very lucky person to be able to realize this, because there are many people out there who continue to chase losses but are unable to realize the losses they have experienced and the stupid problem is that they continue playing and continue to ignore other people. people around him tried to wake him up.

True, I think there is very little chance for gamblers who have been overcome by emotions because of the many defeats to realize the mistakes they have made in. It's not uncommon anymore and maybe now we find quite a lot of gamblers who are very ambitious in gambling, like you said they continue to gamble with the intention of getting a win or even those who have won still can't stop because they expect a much higher win there and this is the real addiction cycle in my opinion where whatever you get you will never be satisfied and always want more than what has been obtained. Basically it is quite difficult to be able to realize that you or they have gone too far in gambling, none other than that because their mindset is very difficult to control and all there is is just wanting to continue gambling despite the fact that the final result will lose more often than win, and it is also useless that basically people who are already addicted will be very difficult to tell or remind through some advice from others.


If you stop gambling, you can feel better and you will feel able to overcome the urge to gamble. why not, you decide to stop gambling. And to make it easier for you to stop gambling, if you have an environment where people gamble every day, leave that environment for a while because this is the factor that often makes someone lose the determination to stop gambling.

Anyone who can finally stop doing this activity or just reduce it in my opinion is good enough and this is the best thing to do. I am sure that anyone will never be comfortable with all the pressure resulting from losing in gambling, of course if indeed your environment is active in gambling then there is no other way to get out of the addiction zone unless you are able to avoid the bad environment, whatever we can do to stop gambling as long as our intentions are strong and firm.
612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not keeping records makes me a bad gambler? on: October 26, 2023, 10:25:31 AM
But I don't think it will always be like that either, meaning that not everyone when they see the calculation of the amount of deposits and withdrawals will become emotional and even worse in gambling, and I think what is more effective is that in this way they will find out that they have gone very far in gambling by seeing that the number of defeats is much higher, and also in my opinion this will be able to make them realize that this is really gambling that only relies on luck, and also besides that they might change their mindset for the better and not too much.
Indeed, not everyone will become emotional when they see the comparison between deposit and withdrawal amounts because it depends on a person's perspective, especially if that person makes the notes just to find out how much money has been used for gambling. And if they realize this month they have deposited more than the previous month, they really need to reduce it and see how their finances stand. It could be that having a gambling record can make him aware of staying within his limits so that he doesn't gamble excessively and can still enjoy gambling as entertainment.

Well more precisely like that maybe, we just find a middle ground and as you said whether or not they are emotional in this case really depends on how each person's point of view is, as we discussed above there are those who are emotional when they see the calculation records due to the number of dominating defeats that make them finally more ambitious in gambling with the intention of revenge and there are also those who think with common sense that this is gambling which as I said before it is only about whether or not someone is lucky in their gambling journey, so both of these things can really happen to two human characters. What I have in mind is that maybe by calculating all the amounts they spend it is possible to make them realize and finally reduce their gambling. Especially if their finances are not good or in the sense that their income is only enough to support their lives, it is very possible to be able to think healthily and reduce all gambling activities.

I think this is indeed a pretty good laternative for every gambler to do, whether it's those who are already addicted or for those who think gambling is normal. It's like a business where management is very important, so in this way maybe I think as I said above and what you said, the chances are quite high that they will think that they will reduce their gambling budget and also of course they will apply more firm self-control when gambling. Basically prevention is always going to be better than cure.
Having a record of his gambling journey can keep him from exceeding his limits so he won't try to spend more money just to gamble. But there are also people who don't keep notes about their gambling because they think they can still care for themselves while gambling and don't overdo it. They can still gamble sufficiently and have a budget for gambling and do not exceed the budget for gambling. And yes, prevention will always be better than cure.

Although this alternative is quite good but everything will return to their respective awareness, because it is useless if they take notes but do not find any awareness to get better. Management is one of the most important things in any field or profession or even in our real life, we must be able to make everything run in balance using this management. Well it is true that there are also those who do not record like this at all, as you said it is because they still feel that their gambling is still manageable or maybe they feel that they have not lost too much money, it is also quite good as long as what they say is not just a feeling but in accordance with reality.

Breaking News!

Sandro Tonali has been banned from playing for 10 months due to his gambling scandal and this will certainly be very detrimental to Newcastle because his role is really needed to strengthen the midfield this season. Even though Newcastle are in their best performance, they have lost key players who were brought in from Milan last summer. On the other hand, it is possible that Sandro Tonali will get an additional month during his ban for the rehabilitation process. I think what Sandro Tonali has done can be a lesson for other players not to carry out similar activities and if this is the case, of course the club will be the one who suffers the most.
Newcastle will suffered a little bit without the presence of Sandro Tonali. However Eddie Howe will make replacement for Tonali in forthcoming games this season. He's been issued a 10 months ban and will be excluded from the Magpies squad and also Italy. This is a serious case and this incident have 80% probability of reducing the performance of Sandro Tonali. It will served as a warnings to others who are into gambling and yet to get caught and the ones that are planning to enter. I'm not going to tender blames to anyone, Sandro Tonali brought this drastic punishment upon himself, he knows the rules and he still go ahead to break them.

Of course this Sandro Tonali problem will be very detrimental to Newcastle because on the other hand he is a midfielder who has a considerable contribution in every match which makes him difficult to replace. 10 months is a very long time and this incident provides a very big task for Eddie Howe, honestly I don't know what steps the coach will take to keep his squad balanced in terms of performance. And besides that I also heard that in this case not only involved Sandro Tonali but there was one of his other colleagues and if I'm not mistaken, Nicolo Fagioli from Juventus who was reportedly initially invited by Sandro Tonali. I heard that in terms of punishment Fagioli was much lower and was only sentenced for 7 months to be absent from football.

True, lately I have seen quite a lot of cases that have occurred in several leagues, not just in the EPL and of course this can be an example for those players who, for example, are still gambling but have not been caught then it is better for them to stop immediately, because it is better to prevent than to cure before it is too late.

Simply that you don't stop doing anything you would like to do because of lack of money. Keep in mind that this is relative, because if you have aspirations like buying an island or a yacht and filling it with models to accompany you, it will cost you much more to feel rich than if you have more mundane aspirations. Things like there are a few days left until everyone gets paid and if you feel like buying clothes, filling up the tank and inviting your girlfriend to dinner can be part of that feeling of wealth.

Of course everyone will have their own sensation in terms of satisfaction, and they will do something that will give them the sensation to confirm that they are rich people, as you said and maybe there are some of them who will spend large amounts of money to buy islands or yachts, none other than that they do just to confirm and admit to themselves and also maybe to others that they are not ordinary people.

The point is that the feeling will come back to each individual's high or low satisfaction, because after all there are also many who are rich but live quite simply and not excessively. This is quite related to the pride that exists in that person too, and if they are one of those people who are always simple in life even though they are rich then maybe they will only confirm to themselves about the wealth they have, because real wealth does not always have to be known by many people.

I think most gamblers will never record the history of the results of their gambling and when they want to see it they might just look at the casino betting statistics history feature.
Whether it is gamblers who are just having fun or those who are looking for profit will not do it.
In fact some gamblers feel regret when looking at their betting history because they know how much they have lost so far.

If there is maybe just history of betting on the same day or time.
Because at the same time they will calculate the amount of losses and wins to be able to think and take what steps to take whether they are still able to continue or not.
That is only done by professional gamblers as you have said.
Looking at the history of gambling results can trigger our emotions to become irregular because we will be sad if we see the many losses we have experienced, especially if we also see the comparison between deposits and withdrawals. It turns out that the deposits are greater than the withdrawals. I don't have records of my gambling games because I don't need them and until now, I think I can still handle my gambling well even though I also experience losses like other gamblers.

But I don't think it will always be like that either, meaning that not everyone when they see the calculation of the amount of deposits and withdrawals will become emotional and even worse in gambling, and I think what is more effective is that in this way they will find out that they have gone very far in gambling by seeing that the number of defeats is much higher, and also in my opinion this will be able to make them realize that this is really gambling that only relies on luck, and also besides that they might change their mindset for the better and not too much.

If people who record the history of their gambling results can reduce their gambling activities and be stricter in how they use their money, that will be good for them because at least it can help them control their money. And they can also avoid losing a lot of money and can avoid gambling addiction.

I think this is indeed a pretty good laternative for every gambler to do, whether it's those who are already addicted or for those who think gambling is normal. It's like a business where management is very important, so in this way maybe I think as I said above and what you said, the chances are quite high that they will think that they will reduce their gambling budget and also of course they will apply more firm self-control when gambling. Basically prevention is always going to be better than cure.

Congratulations to Tottenham who have managed to maintain their performance throughout this season. Hopefully we can provide maximum results at the end of the season. However, because this is quite a long journey and in the Premier League, winning the trophy will not be that easy. Tough competitors such as Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool are inevitable. Ange Postecoglou must remain focused on bringing this club to achieve its dreams. Tottenham should not feel like this achievement is over, because slipping up like Arsenal last season is very painful.
EPL is a difficult league for average and elite teams. Angelos Postecoglou is leading Tottenham Hotspur on a path to glory this season, the supporters are patient with him and keen on achieving what they all craved for which is winning EPL title this season. However, I'm yet to give out my credits to Spurs because they're yet to face the main rival this season, winning Manchester united was easy and having a draw tie with Arsenal was considerably. They will face Manchester City and Chelsea, then we will decide if they're fully competent to lead or they will drop halfway.

Of course because the competition in the EPL is much more difficult and prestigious than some other leagues. Honestly, I really did not expect that Tottenham could get to this point, their improvement was extraordinary this season, as we know that Tottenham became one of the teams that really wanted the trophy at the end of the season but it was very difficult for them and also until many assumed that Tottenham was like getting a curse, the doubts of most people have now been indirectly broken and in my opinion with this achievement alone Postecouglou has succeeded in proving that his squad is able to rise to dominate the top of the standings.

Oh yes I think initially this season Tottenham will be even worse, because as we know one of their scoring machines, Harry Kane, has left, and usually in every match in the last few seasons they always depend on this player in getting the full three points at the end of the match, but finally in the end Kane really decided to leave and prefer to join Bayern Munich, the defending Bundesliga title. If only Kane was still in the EPL with his proud squad then it is very likely that he would feel the trophy he always expected throughout the season with the condition of Tottenham which is now surprising the eye. Yes Chelsea and Manchester City will be their opponents, to fight Chelsea maybe it's quite easy with their current form and the match with Manchester City maybe it will be quite difficult, but certainly I hope Tottenham will be able to get through these two matches and I wonder if they will be able to get the full three points when faced with their rivals at the end of the season, Arsenal.

It's one of question which differs from person to person. How do you define richness?
To be rich is the ability to provide all the basic needs of life. Furthermore, it is a life without debt, sickness and fear. It is freedom from greed because you are contended with what you have. Criminals are not rich regardless of how much they own because they have no peace.   
       
Yes in general it is like that, where wealth is our better living conditions than before, not feeling afraid in terms of basic needs in the long run, all needs will be easily met because we have above-average financial strength. For the problem of debt I agree with that, most of the time there is no pressure that we or they will feel the impact of debt itself, but for the problem of disease in my opinion is not included here, the disease will not see who the person is and whether the person is rich or not, still the disease is very likely to attack, this is more on a healthy lifestyle. Because it is not uncommon for us to see many rich people who turn out that one of the families has a fairly severe illness, so this is more about managing a healthy lifestyle even though basically they are sufficient for medical problems.

It is clearly different from those criminals in terms of finance, logically if they are rich people who are well-off then there is no way they will commit crimes such as theft and so on, one of their reasons in general is usually to fulfill their personal needs, they do it because they feel unable to change their own lives through the process as in general.

I don't think you can be called a bad gambler if you don't record your losses and wins here.
If it's just entertainment for you, you don't need to record it. I also don't record my gambling losses and wins because for me I don't need to record them because I'm not good at gambling either and I can only see the money I lose growing. If you enjoy it and control yourself when it comes to gambling, I don't think there is a problem. I think that's only for serious gamblers and professionals who keep track of their winnings and losses so they know if what they've been doing lately is good.

It can be said that it is bad and it can also be said that it is not bad, and in my opinion it goes back to how they respond to gambling, if indeed they gamble with just looking for entertainment and fun then I agree with you, it doesn't matter if and not record and calculate all the money lost and won. But if they come with the purpose of earning income like those who are already addicted then I think this calculation record is very important, this will be very useful to help you realize that the money you have spent is too big and it's time for you to stop and rest so that the situation does not get worse.

I think that even if you are firm in your own mind in gambling which means gambling just for fun I think there is nothing wrong if you occasionally do a calculation on the amount of your losses, because the situation is always difficult to guess, especially if you are very busy gambling then you can unconsciously continue to pour your money into the casino because you want the fun to continue even though it is not the victory that you prioritize. So in these two conditions I think the calculation can still be said to be quite important.

Yeah, that's true and it's actually one of the few things that is inevitable, whether we like it or not , a certain number of Bitcoin owners are actually going to end up leaving this world with their key remaining unknown to anyone, even their love one, but I feel this is supposed to be a matter of who's going fall under this category, well I know for sure after all this exposure to this much knowledge, I will definitely find a way to let my love ones or even my spouse know about the my holdings or if that's too wild, I think setting up a means of which they can actually get hold of my key and Bitcoin when mr.death eventually comes knocking.


Do you know what most people who are holding bitcoin are doing or will most probably do? All of them know that they will transfer their private keys to their loved ones when they are near to death but no one will let the keys be transferred ahead of time. Since the death time of everyone is unknown, there may be many who die because of an accident or on the spot death and they would not even get the time to give the private keys to their remaining.

Since bitcoin is very new and only the first generation is using it, so we do not come across such cases but after more than 10 to 20 years, a lot of bitcoins will be lost as the current holders of bitcoin wouldn't be alive and they have not transferred the wealth to their near and dear ones.

Agree with you this makes perfect sense and will probably be one of the problems of every bitcoin holder, we know that we will not live forever in the world, while something in the future is always unpredictable, one of which anyone will never know when they will die, while on the other hand they have promised themselves that one day they have to transfer the key to someone special in their life such as their own wife. Basically the facts that will happen will not always match what we plan, okay maybe they plan that they have to give the key near the time of death, but it will not always be like that, maybe you think that you will die while in the hospital in the treatment phase and at that time you will whisper your bitcoin secret key to your wife, this plan looks very neat. On the other hand, you will never know under what circumstances you will die, it is possible and very likely that you will die in an accident or any circumstances that do not allow you to get time to share the secret key with others, this makes perfect sense.

As you said "Many bitcoins will be lost because the holder is no longer alive" And in my opinion one of the alternatives that can be done is that I will give the secret key to my wife from now on, no problem and I have indeed said a very important short message to her, none other than this as an action to minimize things that cannot be avoided such as death. I will write the private key on a piece of paper and keep it in the most secure place along with telling my wife that if one day I die then open the box, it is an inheritance from me for our children someday.

I don't think it's wise to say that a teacher's job is not difficult because a teacher is expected to be a role model for his or her students and that's not easy, but I might agree that teaching is a labor-intensive job that requires more muscle.
It goes back to our desires n intentions, whether we want to have more than one job or not. Because many people I see are not incapable but don't want to be more tired after doing their main job.
We need to get ahead and one of the ways we can do that is by putting aside laziness for as long as we can.
Every job is difficult, it is just that what it is required from us is different, and without a doubt the job of a teacher can be a very difficult job, especially for those persons that have a lot of empathy and do not like to see their students failing, and they may go out of their way to help them.

In my case this is not really a job that I would enjoy doing it, as there are some things that are very obvious to me and if others do not see it I do not take the time to explain to them why I think the way I do, a massive flaw on a teacher.
As many people say, Being a Teacher is one of the hardest job and a passion at the same time because they are the one who teaches us, starting in our basic level of education up to a master's/doctoral degree. Actually, there's no easy job, people may find it easy because they've enjoyed and loved what they are doing but everything requires effort and lots of hard work. OP is doing good in science and math which I think is suitable for being a Teacher or professor but I don't know if that profession in his country is well compensated or not.

It's true what you said, being a teacher is not easy because it requires extensive knowledge, but if he is good at math and ready to teach as a math teacher there is nothing wrong with trying it, but pay attention to the other side if you are not good at math, of course there will be questions raised by students regarding formulas that they cannot understand. but in my opinion it's better to try it first with confidence that he can do it well.

But in my opinion it's better to focus on deepening the world of the graphic field si, because judging from the development of technology now the graphic field dominates technology because as far as I know graphics have a high value with its own quality. it's okay to do both if he can run it well, he has to manage his time so that there is no clash between his main job and side jobs.
