241  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ways to Appreciate Your Favorite Casino Beyond Playing on: April 17, 2024, 08:58:40 PM
You are someone who has had a great time at a casino for some years. In a poll you will  give them a 9/10 or 10/10 satisfaction rating. Your reason for this rating is not just about winning or losing but also about things like user experience, game selection, ease of transactions, customer service, security, promotions, and reputation. Casinos usually have ways to thank loyal customers, like VIP programs, special bonuses for anniversaries, and exclusive game access. As a satisfied customer what can you do to show your appreciation for the casino beyond just playing?

I think the best appreciation is to be a continuous player there as they say good things are those who are done constantly in continuity despite being small with this I want to say that as long as you keep going back to that casino you also are showing the appreciation for them in the best of possible ways.

Promotions for anniversaries,daily,weekly and monthly bonuses are all included now and are taken for granted in all reputable casinos,if some of the reputable casinos won't have them or cut them off then it is game over for them as most likely people will flock to another casino which gives them that.

this will be the beginning of our fall toward having a gambling addiction.
Yes, if there is a feeling of anxiety and it is pressuring us to gamble every day, it means that there are signs within us that it is a symptom of gambling addiction. People who realize this should usually stop gambling because it is more important for them to save themselves before it is too late, because gambling if you can't control it means it will have fatal consequences in the end. The point is, never gamble excessively because anything excessive will definitely end badly and we have all seen what people who are addicted to gambling end up like.

Never follow your desire to gamble every day because that will trigger us to become gambling addicts. Gamblers should be able to divide their time, namely gambling on weekends and spending weekdays with work or family. No one gets rich from gambling, let alone those who gamble every day. One day you definitely won't be able to get rich, I have a friend who gambles every day and he works as an online motorcycle taxi driver but he never becomes rich, instead his debts get bigger and bigger. People must realize that gambling addiction is a disease that is difficult to cure, so it is best to avoid gambling every day.  Grin

For me, playing every day is a sure way to gambling addiction.
Even when I try to distance myself from gambling, the casino relentlessly sends spam trying to get me back to the gaming tables. I constantly unsubscribe from mailings, but they still keep coming.
People say that any habit is formed in three days, and I believe in it. Therefore, I try to be careful and not get carried away with the excitement too much. It is more important to take care of your health and finances than to get short-term pleasure from excitement.


It is absolutely true that the casino sends spam. I think they use a special system that changes their address and sends emails to players that constantly remind them of promotions. And even if you unsubscribe, it won't help. Their task is to remind themselves if a player becomes distracted from casino games. It's like a damn curse, because letters from casinos are always tempting and bright. They know how to interest someone who wants to forget about gambling for a while.


That is true,I used to play in many reputable casinos before and now because I have down scaled greatly the amount I play I also don't play in many casinos and the ones I have left keep sending me their promotions even after more than 2-3 years and they have them send automatically.I have unsubscribed from some of them yet I still receive rare emails of such bright and colorful promotions.I think though that the person who is determined to quit gambling is not impressed anymore by such promotions and gambling every day only increase our chances to lose,you simply can't be in a long term winning position by playing games with an house edge.

The red card was as clear as it could be. Anyone saying otherwise are either high on barca copium or just don't want to understand the most basic rules of the game.

That Dortmund game was crazy, nonstop action pretty much for 90+ straight - well deserved for BvB in the end though!

It was expected also by the bookies the Dortmund victory as since minute 33 of their first leg game Dortmund took the game in hand and they missed several opportunities,of course Atletico was impacted by the missing of Saul which was a key player in the first leg as he got booked there and I think missing such a great player connecting defense to attack was the key to Dortmund success.

I think the draw is clear now as they face PSG and I see no escape for them in such encounter in the 30.04 and 07.05 two games for the semi final,it will of course be very entertaining to watch yet I am pretty sure I don't see any escape route for Dortmund seeing both teams performance.

~Snip~
Both Dortmund and PSG that won yesterday game really surprised everyone because both teams that were eliminated secured victory in their first leg and everyone thought that they can make their win easily, i think the red card that was issued against Barcelona really helped PSG to gain their victory if not they can't defeat Barcelona. Dortmund dominated the games completely in Possession, Pass Accuracy, Accurate Passes, Total Shots, Shots On Target, they really prove that they are the host, Dortmund really shocked me compared to Barcelona, at least Barcelona have something to say about their defeat what about Atletico Madrid that have nothing to show.
PSG and Dortmund managed to advance to the semifinals after defeating their opponents in the second leg after both losing in the first leg. The comebacks made by PSG and Dortmund occurred in different ways and at different location statuses. PSG managed to win at Barcelona headquarters with a one-man advantage, while Dortmund eliminated Atletico at their headquarters.
PSG victory was not too surprising in my opinion, Barcelona's game immediately dropped after Araujo was sent off which gave PSG an advantage. Barcelona defeat was due to an unexpected incident, while Atletico were very disappointed because they were unable to maintain their lead.

The draw I think is giving an advantage to PSG as they will face Dortmund and let's be honest after seeing the two leg games of both teams it looks crystal clear that PSG should be the easy team to advance to the final.It looks like this is their year after so many years failing it looks like they have the perfect opportunity and they would be love to see in the final any team between Arsenal or Bayern Munchen,a team from that clash which in most theory speaking is highly unlikely as whichever team from the Manchester City and Real clash,most likely can also win against Bayern or Arsenal in the semi final,so things look pretty neat so far.

What a hell of a result for PSG tonight,fully deserved I must say and also Dortmund showed courage and determination to even get back after being equalized,I think we all expected a Dortmund win and not many expected a PSG win during tonight.However you can say that people are crazy and for that I am posting someone who cashed out an exact score ticked with both games as they ended,holy fuck if this is some crazy ticket I just copied from someone who had this cash out from the Stake chat and just want to show here as I doubt anyone got 6 points with exact scores in the pool from these games.

Dortmund in a really strong position at half time, leading 2-0 on the night and 3-2 on aggregate. The Barca vs PSG game is crazy, Barca down to 10 men with a slender 4-3 aggregate lead.

All to play for in both ties, this is what CL football is all about, pure drama.
Dortmund has indeed succeeded in turning things around. In the first leg Dortmund was behind by 1 goal and then now Dortmund reversed it and led by 1 goal. And made the aggregate 3-2 in favor of Dortmund. Yes, this is a drama that usually occurs in football. And now the second half will be even more exciting. Because Atletico Madrid definitely doesn't want their chances to be taken easily by Dortmund. Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to their match. But I have a feeling that Dortmund will probably maintain their lead.

Meanwhile, Barcelona will be very difficult now. Because after all, playing with 10 players is a weakness that is difficult to cover.

I was sure of a Dortmund win since watching the first leg of the tournament,Atletico surely dominated in the first half in that game but got tired in the second and Dortmund took profit from that to score a goal there that is looking precious so far to them as they are qualified so far with this result.I know most people watching Barcelona and so was I but boy do I want to watch Atletico now as they have got nothing to lose and they need to go forward with all their forces to score a goal.This approach though leaves spaces in defense and they should also be very much worried of conceding another goal which would be devastating to them.Let's see if Atletico has something in the second half,they need to have something if they want at least to equalize they need to score a goal as soon as they can.

I think Borussia goes through. Anybody with me?
I bet on it as well, the odds of 2.90 are quite attractive.

3.5 points between myself and Ulven, I hope to cut the difference to 2 points in this round Cool

I have some stakes in Pot B as well, hopefully some of those hit as well.

Absolutely,I don't see Atletico deserving it since the 33th minute of the first leg.There will most likely not be any additional time for this game and the interesting game to watch is Barcelona,the result is 1-1 and although Barcelona scored first,Paris dominated the game completely,the red card to Barcelona has given Paris the real chance to pass through they just need to be very cool headed.It is this game I am going to watch the second half although in the pool I have a 2-1 win for Barcelona as I thought since they won away they should be able to win at home,yet the red card has completely changed things around here and any team can go through now.

In my opinion, it will be great to see Lewis in the red outfit in the red car. His fans will certainly be very excited about this event and I hope he can have a very competitive car as Ferrari has not yet managed to develop the right car to fight against Red Bull.

It will certainly be interesting to see what Lewis will be like driving for Ferrari together with Charles... we will have a good battle between them.

Hamilton is now in his third season but despite fighting valiantly, he has a Mercedes in his hands that is clearly well below average. Hamilton needs his eighth title and I believe he made the right decision by activating the "escape clause" in his contract with Mercedes and going to Ferrari.... let's see how that goes!

Hamilton's decision to join Ferrari is probably the best decision for him (for now) because Ferrari is the best constructor after the RB team at the moment and with the presence of Vasseur who has the ability to communicate with drivers well, it could improve Hamilton's performance. At the moment we don't know what car Ferrari will give Hamilton, but it is likely that it will be better than the current season and this will further boost Hamilton's performance. Yeah, maybe we will be able to see the best duo from Ferrari in the 2025 season.

That is a big unknown where Hamilton has thrown himself into yet I also think he has made the right decision to join Ferrari as in Mercedes nothing good is happening and this is the 3rd consecutive season where Mercedes is in big trouble so the fact that he joined Ferrari may look like a good option judging how his life went in these 3 lost seasons with Mercedes,no one has time to lose 3 seasons when you are near 40 of age now.

Ferrari be better give him a superb car,even the second fastest in the hands of Hamilton is much different than in the hands of Leclerc and Sainz who are not world Champion drivers despite the media strongly marketing them like that especially Leclerc,I see nothing exceptional from this guy from quite some years now.

A lot of shock results over the weekend. Nobody picked Palace to beat Liverpool and only one person backed Villa over Arsenal. Are Chelsea going to follow suit with a loss tonight?  Grin I doubt many people will go for a home loss but I'm thinking twice about it now.

So Arsenal and Liverpool decided to hand over the trophy to Manchester City today by losing huh. Im tired of watching them win, someone gotta stop their domination. Pep going to have a chance on Treble all over again.

They're still in it as both Arsenal and Liverpool are only 2 points behind, though City do have the easiest fixtures. At least it can still be a close title race.

Yes, just imagine betting on all the underdogs yesterday, you can make a fortune.

Aston Villa x10 Crsytal Palace odss x11, incredible, and also incredible how and why Aston Villa has 10 odds being a super competitive team and Crsital Palace being a weak one has only 1x more. I dont know what the bookies see.

They see nothing and they just want to deceive the players as much as they can,in fact if you check the odds of many soccer events as soccer is the sport we have the better information compared to other sports you will eventually spot that the bookies are most of the time messing with the players by not giving them real odds,for example a team that should had the odd of 1.5-1.55 like in the case of Arsenal yesterday night they only had like 1.22-1.28 odd in different bookmakers,I judge this exactly like you,the form of Aston Villa is great and you cannot give Arsenal the range of 1.20 odds,also in the standings if you see,you will spot the form,yesterday Aston Villa just confirmed that.

I think that you have been very lucky and at least you gave to your mom about 12% of your won amount to pay off some debts which is a great thing to do,you also bought those high tech devices and high tech consoles like Xbox X series.I think the only mistake you made is to have played the wheel and not slot machines (that is what another degen would have said) and tried your luck to get like x10000 with 35 bet,that would have been amazingly awesome to achieve.I think the fact that you got back the next day is a normal thing which many gamblers would have done and I don't think there is no hope for you,it simply takes a lot of time to learn patience and discipline which can help over the long run to make better decisions next time the luck hits on your door.

The title race surely is over as Manchester City has some easy games coming but boy were Liverpool and Arsenal disgusting to watch yesterday,you bet they were especially Arsenal which was even more ugly football on display while Aston Villa played much better than them and truly deserved the victory,imagine if you put in a parlay ticket both Palace and Villa that would be an over 100 winning odd for someone bold enough.
252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't make your bets when you're tired on: April 15, 2024, 04:48:41 AM
Well it may be that being tired can impact you in the decision you make in gambling yet I think there is not a big of a problem making your bets when you are tired if you already knew what to bet before you became tired.I don't think that being tired can impact your gambling habits like it can impact you in real life if you do things while tired the room for marginal and non marginal errors are simply to high and it reduces your performance in any job you can do yet in gambling as I said I don't see it impacting the person that much.I personally have gambled when I was tired as I have been playing since 6 Pm to over 12 Am many times and I have had my big wins when I was near falling asleep during that 12 Am time so for me in gambling being tired doesn't really mean anything or that it can impact you a lot.

That will depend a lot on Ferrari rather than him.I doubt he will lose his powers as we have a living legend who hasn't and that is Alonso who despite his age if given a competitive car he makes wonders out of it,the same I assume for Hamilton.Ferrari is still a better car than Mercedes in these last 2 seasons and who knows what type of car they give to Hamilton but I think that they have always had a good driver,a world Champion racing for them like Vettel,Alonso and Raikkonen the last three,so another world Champion joining them is great news,from the last three only Raikonnen managed to get a title in the distant year of 2007 and the other ones couldn't,let's hope Hamilton writes history with an 8th title.

So did anyone got any point/s from today games,I highly doubt it well except the game of West Ham which could have been either team game while for the two big teams that surprised everyone I doubt anyone got against them in the pool here and also in the betting from what I saw from copying other people bets at the casino where I play,about 20-25 tickets lost because of Liverpool and Arsenal,from money lines bets to both teams to score and to over 2.5 goals which for tonight games neither of them did came through suggesting a really huge surprise in the results of today in the Premier League games.
255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 14, 2024, 06:18:21 PM
Well a few of interesting results in this weekend which can impact a lot in the series, Arsenal losing against Aston Villa and coming to the game against Bayern munich in not a good mood or mental strong.

Bayern Munich already knows they cant win bundesliga and now Leverkusen becomes the champion, so they know only UCL can save the year, wors news for arsenal.

I think with the performance of today game to Arsenal the big odd of Bayern Munchen is a golden dish ready to be eaten from true and intelligent gamblers,Arsenal screw it up really big during today game against Aston Villa as they didn't show absolutely anything,I watched the game and it was clearly a boring,way to much boring Arsenal that it translates in a very easy game for Bayern Munchen at home,they should have also won in London and it was only bad luck that they couldn't win there,in here though,in Munich they will make a really easy short work of Arsenal and there is not much to be doubting for this encounter,Arsenal showed once again how much of an immature team they are no matter how good results they can have during the year.I would definitely be betting on Bayern to win and better do it tonight as the odds will come lowering and further lowering for Bayern.

English Premier League on the verge of loosing its credibility. Arsenal 0:2 Aston Villa

Early hours of today, I made a post when Liverpool was about loosing it to Crystal Palace and finally it happened. In the race to the English premier League title, I believe Liverpool more than Arsenal. Liverpool refused to win against Crystal palace and now Arsenal cannot win against Aston villa. Now, they have gifted the top 1 status to Manchester city. If this finally happens, England cannot be said to be among the tough leagues again.

Absolute bullshit games during today,I cannot understand how Arsenal played that badly and people are still saying they can win the title,damn they cannot and will never win it,it is going to win City again but this time not because of their own merit rather because of the real weak games of both Liverpool and Arsenal,that is how you lose a title,it is exactly this game,played without ideas without concentration without anything,it ruined me Liverpool and Arsenal together more than 15 tickets and yet I wonder why I still play Premier League games when it looks like this league is some random 7th division of somewhere else and I have extremely high doubts today that the league can be rigged,yes yes rigged.
257  Other / Off-topic / Re: Can you be bold enough To introduce your gambling Mate To your spouse on: April 14, 2024, 05:00:34 PM
My spouse is my friend and not my commanding officer that I need to summon the courage to introduce my gambling buddy to. It's not like gambling is a crime or something illegal that I must hide from my partner. My partner should know my friends just as I should know hers too. That is a healthy relationship that is built on trust and openness. Anyone who cannot introduce their gambling mate to their spouse is the type of person who hides their gambling activities from their spouse too.

I am in the same situation,my spouse know that I gamble the hell out of it but I told her the budget I use in total for a month and she agrees with that.I don't have a gambling mate,gambling mates go well with each other until they keep losing almost every time,once wins start to come the friendship ends shattered because no one of them is fair enough to share the winnings with each other,just like normal partners or mates in business would do,I don't see how this kind of friendship can last if there is money involved there and as we know money ruins everything,absolutely everything when you don't know how to handle it.
258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Geopolitical Tension and its effects on Gambling on: April 14, 2024, 04:36:12 PM
From the last two days, we have experienced some major Geopolitical Tension as Iran invaded Israel and there is a fear whole world including the United States of America, Russia, China and other Middle Eastern/ Asian countries may be directly involved in this war if the situation does not norm quickly.

We have seen some big dumps in the world stock market and crypto market and the world's business may get affected by this situation. I would like to know what impact will it have on gambling ?

Do people gamble less when they see such tensions around the globe?

Will the gambling sites/bookies will have an impact on this situation?

I don't think there are many gamblers from Iran,nor I do think that the majority of them is from Israel,I have been long enough in the casinos,in their chat and I have seen very few individuals claiming to be from such countries.I didn't know that Iran has invaded Israel at the first place as I don't think they are capable of such feat as if they are this is quite shocking to say the least and the US has a mutual agreement on military with Israel that they can intervene if bad things happen to Israel.I think though that this plays in the interest of Russia in the end as they are the only beneficiary from such war,for the gambling though I doubt any tension will cause people to gamble less,it simply is just not the case.
259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you think about videos on mistakes in gambling sites and games? on: April 14, 2024, 02:48:06 PM
these "loophole" videos for gambling, they're a total scam. Complete waste of time. These con artists are the actual gamblers, wagering on desperate people. Really sad.

These gambling sites arent run by idiots. Their business-leading systems are tight. Anyone promising a miracle loophole is lying big time. If they could defeat the house, they'd win millions, not sell videos, right?

The smartest move is to disregard hype. Remember that succeeding in life and gambling requires ability and strategy, not shortcuts. Trust me, don't believe showy promises. Play smart and you may win.

Exactly.Most of them are like a waterhole trap that they bring many people there to fall for it.There is no real strategy to win in gambling and most of the games there are programmed to favor the house,the people telling you such secrets in those videos most probably are trying to get referrals as the least non damaging thing to their casinos and if they want you to try their strategy when you join under their link then it means that these are scam experts wanting only to fatten their wallet in the casino where they point the users to go and play there.It is critical to not believe them as they are the only one who benefits from this,if you really want to gamble just go and do it without so called "strategies",if you win good if not then it is normal in gambling to lose most of the time.
