I usually bet before the match starts, but just for fun. Personally, I don't look for anything special when betting. Usually football is the game that I give the biggest priority to in gambling, probably because of a weekend hobby. Before, I was also interested in following many tactical analyzes and predictions of each match, but now I don't care much about that and enjoy the emotions of playing with my favorite clubs, even when they fail, I feel very happy about losing money on the bet. But to be honest, my gambling only applies on weekends to sports, so I don't have many optimal strategies, because like many people just looking for fun, I am always aware of the level of spending on betting.

Inter fans are worried about Lautaro Martinez's absence. His 15 goals and 2 assists in 16 Serie A appearances are difficult to reproduce. He drives Inter's attack, right? Inzaghi faces a tough task without him, especially against Atletico Madrid's formidable attacking lineup.

Remember Inter's strong defence. They've been strong this season, giving me optimism. Martinez improves our chances, but Inter can adjust. In the Champions League, anything can happen. Hopefully, we can survive without our star player.

Without Lautaro Martinez, it will be very difficult for Inter Milan to win against Atletico Madrid. Inter Milan is a strong team but the key player in their squad is Lautaro Martinez. Scored 15 goals and 2 assists in 16 matches in Serie A. In every match we have seen excellent gameplay from Lautaro Martinez. Atletico Madrid is not a weak team. They have talented players like Griezmann, Depay, Morata and Correa in their attack. And so defeating this team will not be an easy task at all. However, Inter Milan's defense is very strong. Therefore, the Inter Milan team is considered as the favorite in this match. However, if Martinez is in the squad for this match, I've decided to bet Inter Milan to win.

The thing with those people is that whenever there's a market crash, you'll see them boasting about how correct they were about Bitcoin's future. Even if the market is booming, they'll just claim that it'll eventually burst. I can't find too many reasons for this. It's fine if you don't support it; I don't expect people to have the same preferences, but don't be a pain in the ass trying to correct everyone else; it is purely annoying and not contributing anywhere. It has already been proven that even after its so-called deaths, especially in 2017, which was quite disappointing, it recovers. It's been around for approximately 15 years; you cannot claim that it's a bubble awaiting to burst at this point because it doesn't make sense; it would have happened by now; it's not a ponzi.

This needs to be emphasized because the situation can be the same because after all, trading is not gambling because there are also some strategies and techniques that are carried out but it is not uncommon to still find some people who rely on instincts for the trades they make which makes this tantamount to gambling.
The main focus should still be on investing because after all this is the most possible way for anyone to do without fear of their bitcoins disappearing in an instant if they do not sell or are not careless in security issues.
Indeed, it may take a very long time to reap the rewards of what we have planted but in the end if talking about the comparison between trading and investing then I think Investing is the most worth it in this case.

That is what I wanted to tell him too. People tend to make these mistakes by saying that it's a gem and the profit is guaranteed. But, as a good friend, you tell them everything in detail. Most of the time people talk about only the positive side of something because they want to sell the product. But, when you are talking to your friend and you are talking about Bitcoin, you don't have to impress them about Bitcoin. You have to tell them everything so they don't blame you later.

I am sure that you guys heard that someone convinced his friend to invest in something and later the project failed or scammed. Would you ever trust your friend after such a incident? I know there are less chance that Bitcoin may fail. But, imagine if your friend buy Bitcoin and the market goes for a long bear market. You will lose your friend.

We have to decide whether we can gamble after being introduced to it by our friends or whether we will not gamble, considering there is a risk of loss that we will face, so we have to stay away from gambling. Besides, I don't think our friends force us to gamble after they introduce gambling to us. They just introduce gambling and then it's up to us to decide.

If we feel that we get pleasure from gambling and we can allocate a certain amount of money to gamble and can also be disciplined and have good self-control in gambling, we should at least thank our friends for introducing us to something challenging. We also don't need to scold him or even be hostile to him just because he introduced gambling to us. We have to think rationally about the benefits we can get from gambling. If there is no benefit for us and we end up losing some money, it is better for us not to gamble at all, which will be safer for us.

That means we have to be able to control ourselves while we gamble so that we don't gamble excessively and also don't use too much money. Using more money also does not guarantee we can win, but we can experience more losses than we imagined. We cannot expect to win from gambling because gambling is not a place to make money but a place to have fun. And when we have had enough fun and entertainment, we should be able to stop gambling immediately before things get worse. The risk of losing is in gambling, so we have to be more careful when gambling so that we don't lose too much. We must obey the rules that we make for our own good so that when playing gambling, we can get pleasure and entertainment while we also don't need to spend more money to get it.

When someone has entered into gambling and is not accompanied by learning self-control, they will become deeper and deeper into gambling without being able to get out easily because they will want to gamble more often and use more money. A person's mindset will change from just wanting to have fun from gambling to wanting to make money, a mistake we must avoid. Playing gambling should be moderate so that we don't lose more money and can enjoy gambling as entertainment. If they can control themselves well, they will not encounter any problems in gambling and can also enjoy it as entertainment.

I don't think there is a "specific" type of gambling that's more addictive than the other. It really goes down to personal preferences and what triggers the gambling urge in an individual. But just like a drug addict might not be picky about their substance of choice, a gambling addict could be drawn to any form of gambling that's accessible to them. However, yeah, there are some types of gambling that are designed to be particularly "enticing". Look at the Slot machines. They often feature captivating sounds/music, and animations that create an exciting atmosphere for the gamblers. They also give players the illusion of "near-wins" and make them feel like they're just close to winning a big jackpot, encouraging them to keep playing.

Yes, that is a double shot on the chest, a double frustration you would have to swallow. Personally, I cheer for Botafogo brazilian club. Thankfully I didn't place a bet for them this year, even though I considered doing this for a while when the team was still winning their matches. But imagine if I did, besides losing my bet on Botafogo as champion of Brasileirão 2023, I would have also suffered seeing the team I most like going from top 1 position, and remaining there for a long time of the championship, to fifth position in the end, only losing and tying matches from a certain moment of the championship on.

I know many people have faced this situation, because they placed bets for Botafogo, trusting the club with all their hopes. And now I'm pretty sure they are never going to do this again on their lives, because this specific event wasn't just frustrating, it was traumatizing!

Passing week 17, Paris Saint Germain can be at the top of the standings comfortably, being 5 points above Nice, the club closest to them. with a 5-point advantage in Ligue 1 it will be very difficult to catch up, especially those who have that advantage are Paris Saint Germain who are the strongest club in Ligue 1.
I think they will be able to continue to be comfortable there. Their focus is on the Champions League, because in the last few seasons the Champions League has been their main goal. But in Ligue 1 itself for them it is easy, because there is no club that can really rival them at this time.  Nice, who were good at the start of the season, have in fact declined and are now below them.

Gambling addiction can still be handled gradually if they are able to stop themselves from frequently engaging in gambling activities, they must have a strong determination to stop, especially for husbands and wives who are addicted to gambling. They must be able to stop for a better survival it is not easy but If husband and wife are able to support each other to stop together then the process will not last long because usually family factors are very important for the gambler himself.

For other people, addiction may be something that is difficult to cure, but this depends on the gambler himself, if they don't have the intention and determination then it will be something that is very difficult to cure as long as they have a supportive family gambling addiction will get faster to handle.

Discipline is like any other desirable skill, you can train it and if you do so constantly then you will be able to use it on command, for those that cannot control their gambling on some occasions and they are unhappy about it the easiest way to do this is by setting some very low limits on the amount and time they are willing to gamble, those limits need to be so low that they can reach them in a matter of minutes and then they need to stop gambling as soon as those limits are reached and they need to stay away from gambling for a few days as well, and if they can do this for a month I really think this will be enough for them to gain way more confidence on their ability to control themselves.

We see good performances from Leverkusen in every match. Leverkusen is able to dominate and win almost every match. In 16 matches, Leverkusen's players managed to score 46 goals and concede only 12 goals. Leverkusen is currently 4 points ahead of Bayern Munich.

If Leverkusen can maintain this consistency, they have a big chance of winning the title. We might not just see Bayern Munich dominate the Bundesliga this season. We are tired of seeing only Munich dominate the Bundesliga for a long time. We want to see a new team of champions.

Most times these gamblers think ",hey it's high time I stopped gambling,  I'm losing lots of money " but greed won't let them think straight and stop gambling,  it keeps telling them "keep pushing,  today might be your winning day, don't stop, don't be a coward..."   This is enough motivation to work even harder gambling.  The very moment they record one win,  they forget about all their losses in the past. This one win becomes a great push for them to invest even more. This they do until they get drowned in gambling,  then family and friends begin to get worried over his change of behaviour,  his finances becomes affected,  he pays little attention to other hobbies and activities.  His life just got ruined and he's not even aware of it. Many people who got addicted don't even know they are addicted until they begin to experience one problem or the other as a result of gambling.

It's a normal thing in Brighton, they always play good during early season, when they've reach middle season, they're struggle to win despite they still use a same strategy like when they were in early season.

And this is my speculation, it's a normal thing in Premier League where both Liverpool and Arsenal are in top position during middle season, when it's already in near end of the season, Manchester City will overtake Liverpool and Arsenal's positions.

Barcelona is currently not in a good situation, otherwise, a team like Napoli could never beat Barcelona with the performance they had during the last season with their coach Xavi, but since there are many injured players in this team and there are many players who left the team, I think this can be hard as you said to predict this match.
I think Napoli can have a good chance to score a goal in this game if they have Osimhen in the good form because the defenders of Barcelona have not performed well recently.

Getting trapped into their own traps is a risk that all these people has to accept, and many end up believing their own character, to realize later that they weren't as perfect as they thought. But I think that this applies especially in different industries (beauty, lifestyle...) and not so much in gambling, where advertisers are usually aware of these and other tricks.

The main problem, IMO, is that the audience who consumes that content is often unaware of the reality behind the influencer's curtain (money for bets is not from his own pocket, he makes repetitions of the best moments so they seem more usual than they really are...); but you don't have to be a professional to do it either so, back to the topic, it also happens with friends, relatives, or colleagues from the forum, who can create false expectations in those who believe their false claims.

I'm not sure if this has been answered but my answer is just from my experience.

Isn't the effort that casino owners put into owning these many casinos like an investment?
I mean this method is very profitable for popular casino owners to collaborate with other projects or companies but still use it in the name of the big casino owner.
for example, casino owner Y has a casino that is already running successfully and has large traffic and there is a company X that wants to build a casino but does not have enough capital and build a new casino that is owned by X but with the condition that casino
and casino Y efforts to acquire casino X despite spending a lot of capital, both parties Y and

well, business like this has actually been done often for a long time, even in gambling or casinos, things like this are very profitable for both parties and it all makes sense because even though casino owner Y incurs operational costs, in the long term he gets very big results.

The direction you are looking and projecting bitcoin is entirely different from where it's even headed. Bitcoin is not trying micro finance but it's trying to compete with the micro finance like the institutional investors and that's why you will notice that Blackrock and other prominent traditional financial system are trying to get spot bitcoin approved in the US, we have some spot ETF approved in other places but having approved and green light in the US will enable other countries to do the same without thinking further or the consequences because they know US is good in making good choice, now imagine if all the countries have bitcoin ETF for investors, that's more than the adoption you are comparing.

On small scale business and transaction, may be Lightning Network might fix that later and then make people used bitcoin but bitcoin itself on the main network is going to be challenging especially the fees we are facing now is already discouraging, who is going to spend $10 for a fee for an item they can get less than a $1, it wouldn't work but I just want you to know that bitcoin is bigger than where you are looking at currently.
