I think one of the three teams you've mentioned above (City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich) will be champions, of course City are the defending champions (having won the CL for the first time last season), and they'll want to defend their title. The thing i love most about City is their lack of complacency, they always want success every season, notwithstanding whatsoever they achieved the previous season.
City beat Bayern (in the QF) and Real Madrid (in the SF) on their way to the trophy last season, and if they meet either team in this knockout stage, it would be pretty tough and there would be a sense of revenge. It would be interesting to see how things pan out.
Doesn't this apply to Real Madrid or Bayern? Bayern wins the Bundesliga every year and for them this is a routine/norm that they cannot fall below and every year they want to win the Champions League. Real won the Champions League three times in a row and 4 times in 5 years. It is difficult to imagine that at some point they will say “perhaps we have enough.” Each top team strives to win all tournaments in which it participates. As for personal meetings between them, I hope that City will be knocked out earlier and there simply won’t be any  I think City should go further because in football every team has a year when they dominate. If Manchester City wins again this year, it will force the UCL and these other teams to be better. Thus, we will see a tighter competition next year. I think Real Madrid or City are the favorites this year. To be honest, I don't want to see Manchester City win this Chmpanios league anymore because they shouldn't win the tournament. Manchester City is very much dependent on some layer and if they lose these players they won't work as the team we know anymore that's why I think they should win the title this time and another team like Real Madrid got more chances than Manchester City. I understand your Manchester City concerns. They seem too dependent on a few key players. Every team has stars, but overdependence can be a weakness. Missing those players impacts the team dynamic, not for the better. Yes, clubs like Real Madrid seem more balanced, with more different strategies that dont rely on a few stars. Isnt that football's beauty? Volatility, ups and downs. Manchester City may look excessively dependant, but they can win the title. I'd love to see another team win the Champions League, maybe even unexpectedly. Football is about shock and awe, and this season's Champions League provides that. |

Yes, I agree. High-risk bets? They resemble gambling's violent, unpredictable storms. Like the hurricane's eye, a huge win is seductive but chaotic. You throw in your chips, hoping for a large payout, but most of the time, you're left clutching onto your hat as the winds blow.
Gentle breezes are less exciting but less likely to blow your house down. These require patience to win. The patient accumulation is more important than the thrill of the chase. Think of it as a turtle racing a hare - you hope slow and steady wins, even if its less exciting.
No matter your betting style, its about what makes your heart beat right. Gambling is personal. Finding the right balance between excitement and caution is key. Remember that the home always has the edge, whether you're diving deep or wading. Gamble intelligently, laugh at your losses, and enjoy your wins, big or small.

For the weeks I end up in profit with my self-allocated gambling budget, I just cash out. From there on out, I will treat that money as if it were part of my regular earnings. Some of it can go towards spending on leisure for the months, like spend an extra day on a trip or buy something nice extra. But most importantly more money ends in savings. Now if we're talking about exorbitant amounts to be won, that's a whole other matter. Financial planning is what yould be looking for that here, not just a savings plan. You'd need to worry about taxation, what debts to pay first, if you'd buy a house and stop renting etc. These vary highly from person to person. Exorbitant amount to be won or not, money is money, the means by which you got it doesn't matter once it is legal, we should not because we got money through gambling and started wasting the money. It is our money, it is our sweat and risk, so why treat it differently by people? Gambling is often viewed as a free means to make money, that is the same mentality that causes people to lose bitterly, and this same mentality is making them waste the money they gained from gambling which is supposed not to be so. For me, I do not withdraw money so fast in my gambling account, I accumulate my gains, and the gains could still be the money to save the day when I need to either fund another gambling account or I have exhausted the money in my "service account" for the month. This doesn't often happen, but it does happen, maybe in about 3 months in a whole year. So, this money is still useful as I treat it seriously since it is my money and the initial capital that birthed that income was never stolen, I worked for it, so I see no reason why I should be wasting my gains in gambling. I wonder what people would say of career gamblers, if that is what they ever depend on as I know that many of them will be responsible family persons, they will never be wasting it anyhow. They will view gambling as a serious business and will be able to manage their finances through it conveniently. It takes strategy, ability, and a good knowledge of risk and reward, not just luck. Considering gambling a 'free' way to gain money is a myth. Many underestimate the discipline and awareness needed. I admire your prudent gambling gain management. I consider gambling gains legitimate income. Its about respecting the work and ideas. You demonstrate financial savvy by carefully accumulating and using your gains. This is strategic financial management, not gambling. Your insights illuminate career gamblers' lives. Like any job, it requires special abilities and discipline. This is often misinterpreted. Your perspective, treating gaming as a real business, deserves more acknowledgment. Society should honor professional gambling's ability and effort. |

That's right and we can see that currently Manchester City is getting closer to the top of the standings, only needing 3 more points to overtake Liverpool, now Manchester City is just waiting for Liverpool to make a mistake or Manchester City can wait until next March when the two clubs fight each other. In the Premier League there are still 2 places left for Champions League tickets I know Arsenal and Aston Villa are up there but somehow I think in the near future both clubs will be out of the top 4 so who is more worthy to be there, Tottenham or West Ham?
In the end, only Man City and Liverpool competed for the EPL title. Man City's points tally is getting closer to just two points, De Bruyne's return has a big impact on Man City's game and Liverpool lost Moh Salah who played in the Africa Cup of Nations. Looking at Liverpool's current condition, it is not impossible that they will lose points, because Moh Salah is Liverpool's mainstay player on the front line. To stay in the top four until the end of the season I think Arsenal and Tottenham. Man City also has to improve its defense line, because in the match against Newcastle, even though Man City won, Man City seemed overwhelmed in defense when facing fast counter attacks. Newcastle striker Alex Isax was able to easily get past Walker, Natan Ake and Rodrigo to beat Man City's substitute goalkeeper. Likewise with Gordon's second goal which occurred in the same pattern. So in my opinion, Pep Guardiola also has to seriously improve the strength of his back line, especially since their three defenders are too focused on helping the attack. If this is not changed, it is not impossible that they will slip up again in the next match so that their target of retaining the EPL title will fail. Yes, Man City and Liverpool are neck-and-neck. Its amazing how one mistake can change everything. Man City appears revitalized with De Bruyne returning. His presence works wonders. Their gameplay has become more dynamic and aggressive. But their defense, as you noted, is worrying. They seem intent on attacking but forgetting to secure the back door. Im undecided about Arsenal. Despite their ups and downs, I wouldnt write them off. Arteta's a wizard at surprising. Aston Villa, Tottenham, and the rest will also struggle. Who can stay calm and grasp opportunities in the final stretch? |

True, Leipzig is one of a strong team when they play at home.
In this season they only lost once in 8 games at home, even Bayern and Stuttgart are not able to get 3 points there.
It will be interesting to watch this match, there must be many goals because Leverkusen will play attacking and Leipzig is good with counterattack.
Also Leverkusen will host Bayern on Feb 11th, a very very important match for both sides.
For Leipzig, the opponents in this week's match must also be considered tough because Bayer Leverkusen also often carry out deadly attacks which will make it difficult for any home team to create a good defense. I also think that their match this week will be quite interesting because considering that both of them are very good teams this season and are also both in the UCL zone so it is quite possible that the match will look fierce and tough. Honestly, I'm super hyped for this Leipzig vs Leverkusen match. From what I've seen, Leipzig is a beast at home, and Leverkusen, even without Boniface, isnt a team to underestimate. They managed to control the game against Augsburg, but Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena is a whole different challenge. I reckon Xabi Alonso's got his work cut out for him, especially considering Leipzig's thirst for revenge after their last defeat to Leverkusen. This clash has "epic" written all over it. Both teams are gunning for those crucial UCL spots, and with the kind of form they're in, its anyone's game. Cant wait to see how this plays out! |

It shows how technology and beliefs change. New and misunderstood, Bitcoin was viewed with mistrust in 2017. Perception changes drastically in 2024. This shift isnt just about Bitcoin; it shows our growing familiarity with digital assets.
I understand Jamie Dimon's caution. We naturally fight what we once opposed; it requires a change in thought and identity. Changing one's public stance, especially for a figure as prominent as Dimon, is no small feat. Not only admitting a change of heart, but managing intricate emotional and professional dynamics.
Considering Peter Schiff, it's fascinating but understandable. His doubt is profound, and it doesnt change suddenly. Keeping an open mind is crucial. The financial world changes, therefore adaptability is vital. Given time and distance, views, like markets, can change unexpectedly.

Which to choose? My preference is hardware wallets. Why, ask? Their purpose is to add security. Hijackers cant acquire your crypto because your private keys never leave the device.
However, convenience matters. Users who trade regularly may prefer a mobile or desktop wallet. Their faster access is ideal for fast trade. Be aware that convenience often reduces security. Balance is key!
Whatever wallet you choose, make sure to keep your private keys... well, private. Back them up! It matters. Lost keys imply lost crypto, which no one wants. Safety, knowledge, and most importantly, crypto fun!

There are typically hidden revenue streams in these companies. Wasabi's CoinJoin mixes transactions for privacy. They make money by charging a little fee for this service.
Electrum, known for its simplicity and reliability. Although free, the wallet accepts third-party plugins. Plugins with extra services can be sold. Remember the donation model. Customers that like the wallet's features donate as thanks. A subtle but effective revenue stream.
Its user-friendly UI makes Exodus a popular wallet. Exodus gets exchange fees when you shift cryptocurrencies on their free wallet. Its smart to give a free, high-quality product and monetize wallet users' additional services. They balance value and profit this way.

I have experienced similar concerns. Although they contradict Bitcoin's decentralization, Bitcoin ETFs arent the bad guys. Let me clarify. They help established financial institutions profit and concentrate control. They also allow traditional investors to try Bitcoin.
Think about it. Not everyone is tech-savvy or comfortable with private keys. For them, ETFs are familiar and controlled. Traditional funding can raise Bitcoin's profile and, ironically, increase acceptance.
I support the "Not your keys, not your coins" rule. We OGs value true decentralization. However, Bitcoin will draw diverse participants with different objectives as it grows. Staying informed and making decisions that reflect our Bitcoin values is crucial. Arent choices the core of decentralization?

No one can exactly tell the fixed amount of hodlers. And even if we have some metrics to use, I guess we can only make an estimation but never the exact number of hodlers as there are hodlers who holds more than one address while others are only using a single address.
However, it does not matter as to how many hodlers are there, the important thing is we all know that there is growing community of bitcoin, and probably majority of it are hodlers that eventually turn into traders if they got chances to trade using their skills and strategies.
They're out there, but details are scarce. Its fascinating, right? People's decision to hold many addresses or simply one. Diversity in the Bitcoin community makes it vibrant. Our diverse population includes hodlers and traders. The ecosystem thrives on many approaches. Trading requires expertise, timing, and market magic, not just opportunity. A calculated leap, yes. Hodling and trading keep things interesting for me. Like a chef, you have your staple ingredients (long-term holds) but are constantly ready to cook something new given market trends and gut feeling. |

In my personal opinion I think that we don't need to focus on how much will lose and how much we own potential win. I always think that before doing gambling we should know our afford zone. And then we should make a strategy and set a limit then starting gambling. In this case I think we don't need to focus and your them lose and winning.
Players always focus on what they can get or, conversely, what they might lose and don't look at how much they can afford, whether we can afford to lose or we can afford to win, and this does sound strange because everyone will of course be able to accept whatever the winnings are but only a few are able to manage these results so that they can provide us with more benefits. We read news about how people who win fantastic amounts in the lottery can only keep the money for a short time because in a short time they become poor again because they are mentally unable to receive the big money. but if we focus on defeat, our emotions will rise and be carried away by a heated situation, forcing the situation to return to previous defeats, I agree with not focusing too much on defeat and victory, if we focus on winning alone it is also not good enough because no one can we ensure to win in betting If you have to be willing, win and enjoy The different thing in between minding losses over winning is that on the time that you do get used to loses then you would really be that making yourself that somewhat numb towards it. This what causes you for not to be that impulsive anymore towards gambling specially that you do able to realize those things along the way and make you realize that it was never been that easy on making winning on gambling on which it is really just that totally opposite on what you had been expecting or anticipating because once that real shit things happen then this is where realization would be kicking in and this is really just that that typical stuff. Somewhat it cant be avoided that people would really be sticking and minding about potential wins and even going advanced. Isnt it this strange, pleasant numbness? After a few bumps, your perspective changes. Gambling becomes more like chess with luck than a thrill trip. Accepting losses makes gambling more pleasurable! Being prepared for a spill at a party makes you enjoy the atmosphere more. When you're not focused on winning, you enjoy the game's pleasure and intrigue. Remember the social aspect. Online forums like this one become venues to recount losses, laugh at near-wins, and bond over the collective emotional roller coaster. The journey matters more than the goal. |

Sometimes I think that work is the last place to gamble, because humans are not robots and cant perform multitasking perfectly in everything. If a person has a lot of free time at work, then he is either slacking, or could have helped others. Gambling parallel working isnt good either. Hard to concentrate on two things simultaneously. Chances of loosing in gambling are higher, and it will be not wise to blame work for a loss later. Imo unethical to gamble, while other are busy, and gambling should be done during free time. Using same devices that are used for work is unacceptable and dangerous. A person would really look stupid if his working pc/laptop/tablet gets bug, virus or simply battery runs out because he visit various gambling sites.
What if a little friendly wagering on mundane professional duties could spice up board meetings? I admit multitasking is a fiction. Combining gambling with serious labour is like riding two horses with one behind - it doesnt work. Using gambling as a reward system? Finish a duty, then enjoy some guilt-free betting on your favourite site. Its like a carrot on a stick, pushing us to tackle our to-do lists. If we dont abandon our jobs or use the office Wi-Fi for wagering, a little harmless gaming could make us happier and more comfortable at work. Imagine a world where a tiny win may make daily work more bearable. |

The one affected the most when someone becomes addicted are those people surrounding him. If someone gets too dependent on gambling to the extent that he affects other people negatively, the consequences lies heavily on him, but the effects of it to those close to him will manifest for longer time more than what he could possibly remember. Those people close to him will serve as a collateral damage of his choices. They will be entangled with the repercussions of the addict's wrong decisions in life.
Growing up with such bad role model could probably take a toll on someone's mental health. The addict might quit, be rehabilitated, then be sober later on, but the remnants of his wrongdoings will be remembered by the one who suffered to it. There's a saying that goes, the axe forgets, the tree remembers. And it's really true. You can forget what you did during your darkest days, but those whom you abused, you did wrong, and those whom you neglected will forever take it with them. This is why it's important to be self-aware to avoid things like this. Be the parent, spouse, friend, and kid that you want to have. It's unfair to let other people suffer because of you and because of your wrong choices.
You have a good idea on this, but it's also left for the recipient of the pain to look back at it and move on. It's all in the past and if they keep shuttling back and forth his past experiences with the addicted person. He could affect his own recent behavior or productivity. Humans can help a person only when they can. Most times it's hard not to feel bad about some thoughts, but it doesn't stay with us, as the scar is not ours. In your saying, are you saying the family members are the threes while the addict the axe? I think it doesn't fit right into this scenario between an addicted person and his family. Because the addicted is not expected to forget about his past, as well. Since nobody in the family will forget, saying that the axe forgets sounds weird. Considering you said, the consequences lie heavily on the addicted person. Each family member should be a player in a co-op game. Though they have different skills and limitations, they're all traversing the same hazardous terrain. The addict is part of a team, and their actions affect the game. Consider this: in the world of online gaming, just like in families dealing with addiction, communication is key. Strategizing, respecting each player's role, and realising that the game occasionally tests skill and teamwork are all important. An ongoing process of understanding, adapting, and helping. There's room for pleasure amid the seriousness, right? Similar to online poker. Knowing when to hold and fold is crucial. With addiction, understanding when to confront and when to offer space is vital. For the love of the game and its participants, its worth the gamble. Even in the worst rounds, find joy and lightness. |

Someone who is a gambling addict will certainly be more open when he feels confident that he can get rid of his bad habit. When they visit a rehabilitation clinic, of course they will have a strong belief that they can change everything. All problems must be disclosed to experts, in essence there should be no coercion from anyone to change themselves except on the basis of their own beliefs.
If they become aware of their bad habits, they will try to stop them by visiting rehabilitation clinics and undergoing therapy sessions. They will also tell their problem to those closest to them that they are addicted to gambling, so they will ask for their help to support them in healing at a rehabilitation clinic. They know they must do it without coercion because it is for their own good. They only hope for support from the people closest to them so that they can undergo healing therapy well and cure their gambling addiction. If the people closest to them are willing to come and provide support to people who are addicted to gambling while still considering them as members of their family, it will make the person who is addicted to gambling feel happy because they have received support from the people closest to them. They will try their best to complete the healing therapy. Like gambling addiction, admitting it is the first, critical step to treatment. The secret element is family support, right? Imagine a personal cheer squad supporting you through this endeavour. Like karaoke with friends, they wave glow sticks and make you feel like a rockstar even if you can't sing. Such support might make the uphill climb more bearable. Gambling is entertaining, too! The excitement of a tiny stake on a casual poker night or the tension of bingo are entertainment. Moderation, like taking a slice of cake without finishing it, is crucial. Having fun while being responsible can make gambling a fun activity. Hope you find balance and enjoy the game responsibly! |

Some of the ones I've come across are true works of artistic genius. Consider this one: "I travel through time by gambling." One of my coworkers feels as though he is transported to a bygone, more opulent era when he is in a casino. Its how he escapes everyday life and gets to see a little piece of history.
My personal joke is, "I gamble to be a better decision-maker." I've said that many times. The reasoning? Every wager is a decision made under duress, reflecting life's never-ending stream of options. Though its a lighthearted approach, there is some merit in developing the ability to follow your gut and make quick, thoughtful decisions.

It's quite a rough day if a gambler loss all his winning. maybe this is the reason OP shared his winning story of spending something useful and choosing to quit immediately when he won, setting aside a little for another gambling budget. and now we know the OP intention is so that we can know the right time to stop betting and dont waste the winnings we have earned and prefer to immediately spend something useful, no matter whether it's electronic goods or whatever, definitely spend all the winnings on things a positive compared to spending more on gambling. the last time I won a bet on gambling I just used it to have fun with the family even though this looks like throwing away money just to have fun but for me it is very beneficial because instead of having to spend it to bet again and only I get the pleasure but if it is used on vacation together family, everyone can feel happy and there are many benefits from all this. Is it not possible that the little amount set aside for gambling would finish on the long run? And the player needing to take extra money from his business earnings to finance gambling. I've heard of gamblers who sold their properties, probably ones bought with gambling money, for gambling purposes. It's not a situation for many people, but it's safe to say that we are allowed to spend our gambling winnings as we want. No actual means of spending it is the best. Though, it feels better to buy some electronics, but it yields no income for the gambler. He can't stop gambling if the little money he sets asides get exhausted. He'd want to gamble again and again. Thereby still spending more money in gambling, from different income sources. Setting aside a small amount for gambling sounds like a good idea, but as you noted, it opens a can of worms. One minute you're betting modest amounts, the next you're questioning whether that expensive TV was worth it. It doesnt stream wins, correct? Gambling is fun - Like devouring chips, you cant just have one. You win some, lose some, and suddenly consider using corporate funds. A slippery slope. I've seen people sell everything because they're so excited. But lets not be pessimistic. Gambling may be fun if you play your cards well. The key? Responsibility. Know and follow your limits. Spend your winnings on gadgets if you like. Just remember, the real jackpot is having fun without Jengaing your cash. |

PSG must be really relieved after Lens got a red card right before the end of the first half. Because they were already ahead by 1-0 thanks to Barcola's goal. Now Lens must be demoralized quite a lot. The only thing PSG need to do from now on is to open the goal gap more and secure a comfortable win. Otherwise it will still be a risky score. Winning this game is really important as they will make the point gap with Nice eight by doing that. I don't think PSG would miss this big opportunity while Lens have literally gifted the win to them by that red card. Their composure following the red card and Barcola's goal was excellent. However, Mbappe's late second goal shows they need to be more clinical in front of goal. It's incredible how they're 8 points ahead of Nice. This provides breathing room, which is vital given their Champions League hopes. Luis Enrique is keeping the club motivated and competing on numerous fronts. Lens fought hard but still have a long way to go to catch PSG. Maintaining ninth place, they must convert their chances. Effective defence and assault are essential. Lens can challenge large clubs, but they need consistency to rank higher. Their season will hinge on their next few games. |

Very often the parents of gamblers suffer. Because first of all they help pay off debts. Although they say that gamblers should not pay off their debts, because in this case they will start gambling again. Only after paying off heavy debts does the addicted gambler begin to think about risk management. And this should be the basic knowledge of the player even before he sat down to play. The lack of risk management allows players to lose big sums. Debts accumulate gradually, and the player does not notice them, but as soon as the amount becomes significant, the lack of risk management immediately reveals itself.
Parents helping gambling kids is like bandaging a bullet wound. It provides a temporary remedy but doesn't address the problem. "Hey, I'll fix this now, but what about next time?" Without a mindset shift, it's a cycle. Gambling risk management is like kindergarten ABCs - essential. Not everyone gets that memo. Gamblers often enter without a safety nett, drawn by the adrenaline. It's like driving without a map - you'll get lost. The stakes must be understood before rolling the dice. Gambling may be fun! It's not all bad. Who doesn't love a big win's rush? Knowing your limits is crucial. |

 Congratulations to the Supercopa champions, Real Madrid!I still can't believe that the match was considered finished when the first half ended because with Barcelona's defensive blunders, Real Madrid was able to score 2 quick goals and here Vini has scored a brace in the early minutes. It didn't stop there and even though Lewandowski shortened the score with a hard kick from outside the penalty box, it wasn't enough to bring Barcelona back. After that, it was Araujo's turn to foul Vini in the defensive area and I asked who would take the penalty kick considering that Luka Modric was still on the bench. Surprisingly, the kick was taken by Vini and he shot his shot towards the right of the goal guarded by Inaki Pena and at the same time closed the first half with a hat trick which he scored. After that the match continued and in the second half Barcelona still couldn't penetrate Real Madrid's goal which was guarded by Lunin and even though they often had opportunities, Lunin managed to thwart them all. Real Madrid attacked again and it was a counter attack and Barcelona didn't seem to have learned how to prevent players with the high speed that Real Madrid has and thanks to an assist from Vini, Rodrygo scored the 4th goal and at the same time it was a landslide victory in the Supercopa final. A little note, several Barcelona players made fatal blunders and especially for Kounde he was a problem with the goals scored by Vini and Rodrygo and I think Xavi has to improve his defense after this if he still wants to compete. Araujo also received a red card for fouling Vini twice and had to be sent off, which made Barcelona's defense even more devastated and they conceded a goal. The match that Real Madrid played yesterday was the epitome of what it means to be Real Madrid. The players gave an excellent performance, and I was surprised that Real Madrid scored three goals before the half, one of which was scored by Vini Jr. Vini Jr. used Barcelona to set a record that Cristiano Ronaldo had never done for Real Madrid; by scoring three goals before the half, and against one of the best teams in the world, Barcelona, Vini Jr. truly deserves the number 7 shirt that he wears. Many fans are criticising the coach for Barcelona's performance, but I would like to know if the coach or the players were at fault in the game. Since there is no other player that the coach will substitute to allow Barcelona to score goals against Real Madrid, I believe that Barcelona's formation is excellent and that the players he selected for the team are the best players for Barcelona. Therefore, I do not hold the coach responsible for Barcelona's loss. Real Madrid is playing with a lot of heart, and they take advantage of the situation to score goals early on. Barcelona's only option at this point is to acquire new players, even if it means taking a loan; otherwise, their performance won't change. Vini Jr.'s performance was legendary. Being the first Brazilian to score a hat-trick in El Clasico is impressive. This is notable for its timing and style of scoring. Along with his jersey number and CR7 celebration, his first goal felt like a passing of the mantle. I was also fascinated by the tactical aspect. Real Madrid's Brazilian-led attack destroyed Barcelona's defence. Madrid's attackers exploited Barcelona's unsuccessful offside traps, showing a great grasp and anticipation of their rival's tactics. This clever play and Vini Jr.'s brilliance cement Real Madrid's top spot. Both strategy and skill make them a formidable team. |

If a novice gambler gambles with large funds, I can be sure that everything will be lost.
Financial control in gambling games is very important. This must also be balanced with emotional control. No matter how big your gambling capital is, if you can't control the game, all you'll do is play until the money runs out.
The wisest thing is to limit your finances for each game. say $1000 per play, then if you experience a losing streak until the money runs out, you have to stop and not decide to make another deposit to continue playing.
Financial control also know as good money or risk management is very important yet lacking in most novice or newbie gamblers and even amongst some experienced gamblers aswell ,some of them know so well about it but are just carefree or feel they can go against the odds and still be lucky so they don't have to apply all of such. Like you rightly stated again emotional control is another one lacking which if a gambler doesn't have, they just keep playing till they exhust all that they have and that's why it's very important not to get emotional gambling and not bring to the casino that which you can afford to lose because you may eventually end up loosing it all but as an emotionally intelligent gambler, it's very important that you exit immediately you find out that you are becoming emotional and you are suffering a loosing streek, same applies to winnings too when you having series of wins you may become too excited and want to add to your stakes . Financial control in gaming, especially for beginners, is like balancing without a nett. Many jump in without considering the basic rule: "Only wager what you can afford to lose." A classic trap, right? Fun and irresponsibility merge when quick wins are tempting. I learned from my experiences to treat gambling as entertainment, not a cash stream. I set aside a "fun fund" - money I can part with. My fundamentals are safe, and the game remains a thrill, not a financial risk. As with movie tickets, you're there for the experience, not the ROI. Also, emotional control? Thats gambling's MVP. Even the coolest cats spiral when losing control. My mantra: "Stay frosty." I tell myself that losing is part of the game. When emotions arise, I move back. Knowing when to say, "Thats enough excitement for today!" is crucial to enjoying gambling. |
