Union Berlin might be making progress but it is still early though. They won their last game which was against Gladbach. It was a comfortable win in terms of the final score as well. Next time they are playing an away game against Bochum and I would like to see the same productivity from them continuing. However I wouldn't bet on Union Berlin of course as they aren't reliable at all for now.

Their performance dropped very sharply compared to the previous season but I don't think it will come to their even relegation from the Bundesliga. Every decent team have hard times. The most important thing is to deal with it somehow.

Union Berlin are now out of the Champions League and can concentrate 100% on the Bundesliga. Travelling and preparations are no longer necessary.
The next two games are very important for Union Berlin. Bochum and Köln are their direct neighbours in the table. These are 6-point games. After thes two games they have some rest over Christmas and New Year's Eve. But shortly after then they have to start training again and have to rehearse the ideas from the new coach.
Since Union Berlin is out of the Champions League, Im pulling for them. Unfortunately, they didnt do well there, but every cloud has a silver lining, right? Now they can focus on the Bundesliga, which seems vital given their present standings. Being in the same points bracket as FC Köln, near the relegation zone, is a wake-up call. They've had tough, crucial games against Bochum and Köln. You know six-pointers? They might turn things around with wins here.

Christmas and New Year's break is the second paragraph's focus. Their relaxation period could change everything. Its a chance to rest, recover, and rethink their strategy. With the new coach, intriguing new strategies are possible. Union Berlin should improve in the second half of the season. Wouldnt it be nice to reach the Europa League?

IMO I think at the moment Girona are not really looking to focus on becoming champions because in this case apart from the season which is still long considering we are still in the middle of the season, their burden is now heavy with performance so rather than being bothered by thinking about the championship it would be better for them to continue to think about how their performance remains consistent.
At the moment Girona are still very good in terms of performance but indeed this is not a guarantee that they will continue like this so they must continue to try to make their performance stable so that their condition is maintained because with that their chances of competing in a decent position or even a title competition are always there.
It's impossible if Girona doesn't want to be champion because currently they are in first place and won't let Barcelona or Real Madrid or any other team pass their position, if Girona doesn't want to be champion this season then their game should not be as good as you can see until they reach first place from the top of the standings and having a high point value is the result of the team's hard work and they should be proud of becoming first champions in La Liga this season.
Girona last season can able to finish at 10th place and their manager Michel has successfully to save this team to avoiding relegation zone and you might be surprised about their target before this season starting because the management only targetting Girona to avoiding relegation zone and it never crossed their minds before that they could put on such an impressive performance this time because with their current squad Girona was realized it's hard to compete against big teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona or even Atletico Madrid for the top 3

But everything is just like dream comes true for them because until week 16 Girona can able to lead Laliga league standings and although Girona can able to occupy first place but their manager never thinking he would make this team to being an Laliga champion and what they want to do now is to performing well for each matches and Alaves indeed will be their upcoming opponent this weekend
Really, Girona's journey this season is like a storybook. The fact that they were only trying to avoid relegation makes their rise to the top of La Liga even more impressive. Their plan and hard work paid off. Their ability to score goals really stands out to me. None of their star players do all the work; everyone, from the wingers to the midfielders, participates. Their varied way of striking makes them a tough opponent for any team. Their enormous confidence must have grown a lot after their recent win over Barcelona. They have my support to keep their lead. Being dedicated and working as a team shows that even the "smaller" teams can dream big.

I saw the game Newcastle played and lost in the EPL and I was like, ok they have a good reason for losing that game but this game against Ac Milan was so annoying to see the home side getting that goal that should have been the only lifeline they had but they couldn't defend to the last. I expected more from the EPL team (Newcastle) but they played like fatigue had gotten hold of them all.
To me I prefer the Newcastle of last season to this one we're seeing now, these set of players are not really up to the task and I don't see them coming back to compete in the UCL next season, this is the end of Newcastle playing the champions league.
This is the stats Newcastle generates from the UEFA Champions League. They're competitive, we know that but they lacks the confidence and experience to follow up these elite clubs and besides there group becomes the very challenging group in UEFA Champions League this season. Group F comprises of Paris Saint-Germain, Borrusia Dortmund, AC Milan and Newcastle united, these clubs are here not to jeopardize their actions of not qualifying. The end of the UCL road for Newcastle United this season, the Magpies losts to AC Milan which would have made then see the european spot but got defeated, Eddie Howe will work out plans to become stronger next time.
I feel very sorry for Newcastle. They have really been so competitive in the champions league, but they were not Lucky enough to progress. I will blame that on the injury list which the club has been managing since the beginning of this campaign. Eddie has really done his best but there was nothing more he could have done when almost all the fist team squad are injured. To me Newcastle really did very well, but they have to improve and come back to the competition hopefully next season.
Thats exactly how I feel about Newcastle. Injury problems did make their Champions League trip much harder. Dont forget, though, that they were in one of the hardest sets. For example, Manchester United, who were in a much better group, failed to make it. Newcastle almost pulled off an amazing win against PSG, which is impressive! They definitely would have moved on if they were in United's group. Not withstanding the setbacks, their work was commendable. With a healthier team and more knowledge, I think they'll be better and go further next season. They definitely have the ability.

Arsenal will be locking horns with Brighton in their next fixture in the English premier league,while Liverpool will play Manchester United on Sunday.The Arsenal Vs Brighton game is really going to be a tough game because Brighton knows how much strength the gunners have,and they will try as much as possible to shortened their movements on the wing flangs.Arsenal will need to be aware of the threat that Brighton can pose, especially now that they want to qualify for the European tournament.
But I am optimistic about Arsenal  that they will either win or draw this match.They won't want to lose again because they already dropped point in their last game,so everything possible they are going to do,to get over it.
Definitely watch Arsenal vs Brighton! It's likely Arsenal will win. They're home and hungry to recover from losses. Brighton will likely target Arsenal's wing play, especially Saka. Arsenal's depth and versatility might swing the game. They've proven they can adapt and crack defences. My bet is on them to find inventive ways and win or draw.

And the Liverpool-Manchester United saga. Seriously, United's form is poor and Liverpool's is great. Liverpool is the favourite, but anything can happen in sport. United may surprise with Ten Hag under pressure. High-stakes games often surprise teams. This time, I'd bet on Liverpool.

AC Milan was unlucky because although they had made epick comeback and win important match against Newcastle but it doesn't make them to qualified to the round of 16 and after group stages ended Milan have to satisfied with their current position because Milan finish at 3rd place and this make Milan will playing at Europa league soon and Milan is a big team who failed to displayed good performance and now they have to fight at this competition

But i am not really sure if we called Milan as the favourite or not because their recent achievement in this competition is not really impressive and last time they were playing at Europa league on 2021 and at group stages Milan indeed can able to finish at first place but their journey have to stopped at round of 16 because at that time they have to eliminated by Manchester United moreover this season Milan performance in all competitions is not stable so i doubt Milan can able to performing well in this competition

It shouldn't be a big problem for Milan to become one of the favorites in the European League. Even though they haven't appeared consistently enough this season in Serie A, I still think Milan will be able to compete with the strong teams that first got through the Europa League group stages. but Milan must try hard to compete with Roma, Atalanta, Liverpool, and Leverkusen. In terms of quality, Milan should be able to compete. but we'll see how prepared they are for the Play off match.
Regarding Milan's Europa League chances, Im undecided. Some great moments have occurred in their Serie A games, but their inconsistency worries me. They're talented, but delivering consistently is another matter.

Competition follows. Facing Roma, Atalanta, Liverpool, and Leverkusen is difficult. These teams have delivered in Europe. Leverkusen and Liverpool are tricky, so Im wary. Milan must perform well to stand a chance. Strategize, prepare, and maybe be lucky—not just have good players. They have my support, but Im not expecting much. I hope they change my mind
1646  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one is fun, watching with bet or without a bet? on: December 14, 2023, 01:16:42 PM
The exhilaration of betting enhances game watching. We bettors often experience emotional rollercoasters, right? Excited anticipation is a rush like no other. Stress and disappointment are frequent, especially after a defeat. We accept the danger as part of the game. Consider betting entertainment, like buying a movie ticket. For thrill, suspense, and the possibility of winning. Same as leaving a movie without feeling sad, we shouldn't let a lost bet depress us. The experience matters more than the result. When Im disappointed, I remind myself that betting is a gamble. Wins and losses are part of life. Like any pleasure expense, betting needs a budget and adherence. Thus, the game remains fun and stress-free.

Their is no guarantee that cryptocurrency can make people to be rich, and this is the mistake most beginners usually fall into. Beginners are so quick in making money, so they fail to have time to learn and have understanding about crypto. Crypto is very risky and the market is very volatile that is why when one without understanding of crypto goes into they end up losing everything they have because because their is no two ways about crypto to trade or invest In with shallow understanding.

People are considering trading as just enhancing mechanism but they forget about its risk therefore if use their knowledge and know which type of strategy to be use according to situations then may be they find trading as quick rich mechanism but if their concept is only sticked to earning without knowing anything then it will be a worse decision for them to participate in trading with little or no experience.

Individuals are not wealthy so if they trade according to strategies then they can win large sum to make their situation better but if they fails then it is their financial weakness towards trading. Trading requires knowledge but without money you cannot use your precious learning for trading. Those who are rich people find more chances to earn but middle class families will either stop trading if they loss once so they will be very conscious about their money.
You'll probably get lost if you dont have a map (a plan) and a flashlight (knowledge). Truth be told, buying isnt just a way to get rich quick; its a test of your strategy, patience, and knowledge. For those who arent rich, every deal is a big choice. Rich people may have more freedom to try new things and get back on their feet after loses, but for middle-class families, the stakes are very high. Losses can make them not want to trade again, which makes them too careful.

This isnt a sad story, though. A level playing field can be reached through education and careful planning. Strategies based on facts can work even if you dont have a lot of money. Remember this important fact: investing can be profitable, but its not a surefire way to get rich. It takes understanding, strategy, and smart money management, especially for people who dont have a lot of money. Its important to be careful, keep learning, and not depend on trading alone for your financial protection.
1648  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Security is important in Bitcoin on: December 14, 2023, 12:29:54 PM
Like many of us in the crypto world, your story hits close to home. People should always be very careful with their own safety in the world of Bitcoin. Now, as we move towards decentralised banking, we also move away from traditional safety netts. What if something goes wrong? There's no bank to call, right? In light of this, it is very important to understand the significance of a seed sentence. You might lose your wealth if you lose the key to your digital vault.

A friend of mine lost access to their Ethereum wallet because they forgot their seed phrase. Unfortunately, it was very sad, but it taught us a lot. Like the keys to our house, we need to be very careful with our computer keys. People who are new to crypto should think of it as their introduction: they will learn how to put security first. The duty that comes with being financially independent is more than just keeping your assets safe.

Henry's Bitcoin education is awesomeee and a tribute to the changing economy and personal money. The tale underscores a larger shift: financial literacy goes beyond currencies and stock markets. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are part of our financial discourse. A generation is growing up in a world where digital currencies are as real as dollars and pounds. For them, understanding Bitcoin is about staying relevant in a digital economy, not merely learning a fashionable topic. Henry's environment-driven interest reflects society's shift towards digital finance.

Human teaching works best when its relatable, as this story shows. Henry's ability to understand and explain Bitcoin at a young age shows this. It teaches us all that contextualising complex topics in familiar surroundings makes learning accessible and pleasurable, whether the student is 6 or 60.
1650  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the absance of Bitcoin affect the crypto Industry? on: December 14, 2023, 11:44:43 AM
We cant underestimate Bitcoin's influence in the crypto world. Its like the backbone of the industry, not just another player. In a way, Bitcoin is more than just a cryptocurrency; its a change in how we think about money and freedom. Because it is decentralised, it questions the very structure of traditional economies.

The concept of a cryptocurrency ecosystem apart from Bitcoin needs to be dispelled. Imagine a skyscraper (the crypto industry) without its foundation (Bitcoin). Its going to fall apart! The network, its many users, and its workers make Bitcoin safer and more stable than any other system. They're more than just numbers; they show how strong Bitcoin is. Saying that the business world can live without Bitcoin is like saying that the internet can live without its basic standards. Its not just unlikely; its almost certainly impossible. Bitcoin isnt just an old window; it' the whole system!
1651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The shorter the time you spend the better on: December 13, 2023, 04:44:14 PM
Examining the basic assumptions is very important. Consider this idea: even a regular, well-controlled gambling habit can change a person's goals over time. The attitude is just as important as the amount or frequency.

Simply put, gambling is a risk, both mentally and financially. Focusing on family and skills as the most important things is exactly right. But even occasionally gambling can change your goals without you even realizing it. Some "responsible" gamblers started putting their gambling days ahead of family events over time, not because they were addicted, but because it was what they always did.

Finding the key is in constantly evaluating oneself. Regularly take a step back and look at how much you're spending and how much you're thinking about gambling. Anytime you think about it on days that arent "designated," thats a red flag. Never forget that gambling should be an option, not a habit.
1652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: With gambling, it's probably easier to quit cold turkey on: December 13, 2023, 04:20:12 PM
Yes, it is true that when we are addicted to something, we cannot get rid of it easily, we need to do it slowly so that it doesn't cause bad effects for our body. Reducing cigarette addiction is not an easy thing for some people, but if Indeed, we can do this by gambling, of course this is good for our health, but not for our financial condition.
In getting rid of addiction, of course we have to do it consistently because to get satisfactory results for ourselves, if we do it inconsistently we certainly won't be able to get the results we want.
But people should be able to reduce their gambling so they don't become addicted to gambling because by experiencing a gambling addiction, they will encounter even more problems. Maybe they need to look for other activities that can divert their attention from thinking about gambling and do other activities that a gambling addict usually can't think about. The conclusion is that they must immediately stop gambling no matter how difficult it is because that is the only way to be free from their gambling addiction. Even though it looks difficult, if they have a strong will and determination, they can definitely do it and they can ask for help from the people around them to help them overcome their gambling addiction problem.
Indeed, we must recognize the dangers of gambling addiction; its a slippery slope. Realistically, telling someone to "stop gambling" isnt enough. For example, telling someone to stop breathing because the air is dirty is not a good idea, is it? A more nuanced method is needed.

Imagine if we taught people about the risks of gambling and encouraged them to gamble responsibly? Freedom of choice; individuals are allowed to make decisions, but they must also be aware of the results. Its like driving a car: you need to know the regulations and the possible outcomes.

Why not make breaks and limits a requirement on all online gambling sites? Consider a system that logs you out automatically after a certain amount of time or when your loses reach a certain amount. Beyond just erecting walls, its about making a safety net. As opposed to forcing a single answer on everyone, we can give people the tools they need to make better decisions.
1653  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler takes his own life after a loss. on: December 13, 2023, 03:52:15 PM
Tragic news about the young man. His decision to kill himself over a $3,000 loss shows a deep problem with how we think about value and self-worth. Gambling is a high-risk pastime; its about losing perspective as well as money. Your story is a stark warning that our lives are sacred and should not be judged by how much money we have.

Lets think about an imaginary situation: Imagine someone whose identity is their money. The loss here isnt just monetary; its psychological. This is important, though: its a skewed view. Life isnt a resource that can be renewed, but money is. This is what we really lose when we forget it.

Whatever amount makes us think about the impossible is a red flag as gamblers. Its not for self-destruction that we bet. Today's tragedy should not only make us think about the risks of gambling, but also make us think about our morals and priorities again.
1654  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers should not believe in first game win trap on: December 13, 2023, 03:29:33 PM
It is important for novice gamblers who want to enter the world of gambling to pay close attention, that losing and winning are the results of gambling, so like it or not, novice gamblers must be ready to accept this, and not only that. the most important thing is how we can control ourselves when we are in the casino. , and try to resist the temptation of every trick you see. Maybe that way, every gambler, both experienced and new, will minimize losing a lot of money.

For novice gamblers who only want to chase wins and don't see defeat in sight, this is very difficult to do and will likely result in losing a lot of money quickly.
You are much on point, gambling is not what you just engage in if you do not have the necessary idea, in this case, there is nothing that will help you unless you go back to learning, practice what you learned and get to be betting with the mindset of being responsible. Other than this, the gambler would go astray from a good gambling style and will definitely lose in the end, there has never been an exception to this. Again, winning and losing are real in gambling but I like the fact that every gambler should zero their minds on them, and if you think of winning too much, you get to lose and get too emotional to lose more. Also, if you get to think about losing too much, you get to be afraid and lose more still. For these, zeroing our minds will go a long way as a neutral mind with adequate skills is better because all that matters after all is for gamblers to have a bold mind, good expertise in doing it and make sure they have the money they can gamble with, I mean such that will be without hurting them when they lose.

This will help their emotions and allow what they know about gambling to be effectively utilized without emotions altering it. And no matter the results of their first bet, they should not panic as this often determines the results of the subsequent bets in most cases. This calls for gamblers to have their actual plans even before starting at all, and never bet the games that will exhaust their money at once regardless of what the assurance is or what the outcome could be.
Lets analyze your responsible gambling approach, which is excellent. The risky and unpredictable game of gambling is sometimes promoted as a quick way to get rich. Its drawbacks must be acknowledged. Theories like "zeroing our minds" on results are sound but difficult to implement. Emotions are hard to control, especially in stressful situations like gambling.

This theory suggests that gambling's unpredictability might cause considerable losses even with the best training and neutral mindset. Gamblers of all skill and caution regularly lose due to the unpredictability of gambling. The need of viewing gambling as enjoyment with financial hazards rather than a solid income source is highlighted.

Although education and responsibility are important, they cant eliminate gambling's risks. Any gambling discussion should emphasize prudence and awareness over misplaced optimism.
1655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: December 13, 2023, 03:01:50 PM
Quiting gambling is easy or hard depending on how far you’ve gone. Even when you go to the hospital and you tell the doctor you’ve been smoking, they’ll ask you what you smoke and how long you’ve been smoking. This is because they want to understand how far you’ve damaged your health so they know what happens next. So, if you’ve been gambling for so long and really consistent, then you’re long gone. And if you’ve been in it for long but you’re not consistent (maybe once a month or even once in 2 weeks), then you’re still safe. It is the addiction that kills, not the gambling.
Instead of saying it's an addiction, we should honestly acknowledge this bad habit, according to many people, from smoking to gambling, these are all bad habits produced by life pressure and gradually, it becomes an integral part of the rest of their lives. Doctors really try to treat it, but the root is the damaged part. Even if more reasonable options are offered, the cells in the body are out of sync, and the brain will still follow its habits, as you said, from the beginning they were indecisive, reaching this level is something that would require a miracle to cure
Yes that's right. Anything in excess is a bad habit, not only gambling but also smoking, drinking and women. If you pamper yourself excessively, it is a sign that you have become an addiction and need to be avoided. If you don't avoid it, it will ruin our lives in the future.

Moreover, gambling is always addictive, and makes people make excuses to themselves and others. Why is it difficult to give up gambling? The reason is, the brain has been poisoned by the upcoming "sudden riches" or what is usually called easy money. So it is difficult for us to stop gambling because we have no motivation. IMO. People who can stop gambling are only people who are close to God and know how to be grateful for this life.
Absolutely, excess in anything is detrimental, including gambling. Dont oversimplify, though. There is a complicated relationship between psychology and reward systems in the brain that makes gambling addicting. The allure of "sudden riches" throws off our internal balance of risk and return, creating a harmful cycle. In reality, saying that only truly religious or thankful people can stay away from gambling is too simplistic. None of our spiritual views affect our ability to control ourselves.

When someone gambles responsibly, by setting boundaries and knowing the odds, they are exercising their freedom and ability to control themselves. Staying away from gambling isnt the only thing that matters; making smart choices and knowing yourself are also important. So, while we acknowledge the risks of gambling, lets also recognize the power of human agency. Although our brains are naturally wired to seek benefits, they can also think clearly and control themselves. Dont undervalue that.
1656  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: December 13, 2023, 02:35:05 PM
I think addiction starts after you win, even if it's just once, that's when you start gambling recklessly and you also start betting higher.
I can vividly relate with this point, I remember when I first began my gambling on online and in land sports betting I made countless numbers of losses in the very beginning due to my shallow knowledge about analyzing and gathering informations about a team before moving ahead to bet on them. As a result of not having a single winning, each time I feel like going to the bet hall to gamble what comes to mind is you want to go and lose money today again. As in, there was no other striking thought of winning aside losing it because I haven't experienced a win before as at then. So the thought deterred me from going to gamble some days.

After sometime I had my first time winning an amount I didn't believe could be won by me in my first time, thereafter I had another win after a few weeks. Guess what! That thought of "you are going to lose money today again" ceased from taking a center stage, a thought of hope to win sets in because of the winning experience I have had twice then. That was how I frequent at the gambling hall almost everyday my loses increased thrice more than I had expected.

There's a different mentality held inside between a gambler that had won money in gambling before and he who hasn't had that winning experience before, not even ones.
Even though the details of your story are unique, it generally follows a similar path for people who gamble. Initially, losses make any hopes of winning seem pointless. In contrast, winning, especially for the first time, can greatly alter this view. Mentally, its like flipping a switch: all of a sudden, the chance of winning seems real, pushing aside the truth of losing. There is a cognitive bias called the "gambler's fallacy" behind this change, not just hope.

As a result, this bias can create a harmful loop. You stop caring about the odds and start trying to win. This dangerous route was shown by your experience, where losses tripled after initial wins. Remember that gaming is a game of chance, not skill. It is always better to play against the house, and the longer you play, the more likely it is that you will lose. No one is just guessing; this is a mathematical fact.
1657  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: December 13, 2023, 02:06:03 PM
For rich people, gambling is a treat; for poor people, its a dangerous way to win. We clearly see a gap. Rich people bet for thrills, and poor people do it for change. But thats where the trap is. People who are poor often get deeper into financial depression as they wait for a windfall. Why? As usual, the house wins. Arent you struck by how cruel the comedy is?

Lets talk about safe gambling, which seems like a strange idea to people who are really struggling. Like clockwork, the story goes: Someone who is poor goes to gambling to make their life better. Unfortunately, the odds are not in their favor. Instead of things getting better, they are in even more trouble. This loop is not only a problem with money; its also a mental trap.

How can this be fixed? Giving advice and help. People in communities need to know about the risks of gambling and have ways to get help for those who are having a hard time. Not only is it about handling money, but also about knowing the risks and making smart decisions. We should work to stop the cycle of hopelessness and sorrow that gambling keeps going for poor people.
Therein lies the difference between rich gamblers and poor gamblers but poor gamblers will still bet because they still see that it is the way to get rich. Unfortunately, poor gamblers have to sacrifice their money, which could have been used to meet their daily gambling needs. Even though they don't have a bigger chance of winning, they should be aware that it will still be difficult for them to win.

Safe gambling is where people can limit their money for gambling and don't gamble excessively. They cannot pin their hopes on gambling because it is not a job and not a place to make money. They can only enjoy gambling games where they cannot expect always to win. The odds would not be greater even if they increased the amount of money for gambling. Meanwhile, rich gamblers can enjoy gambling games longer than poor gamblers because they have more money and can also bet larger amounts of money and of course, if they win, the winnings will also be big.

That can be improved if poor gamblers know that they cannot hope to win from gambling and can only gamble in moderation. It will not provide a greater risk of losing money because they know when to stop before the money runs out. Those who feel they have spent too much money on gambling should immediately stop gambling and divert their attention to other things that can provide opportunities to make money. Maybe there needs to be awareness among poor gamblers not to gamble too often so that they can know that gambling excessively can cause them to lose more money.
Just picture two gamblers, one wealthy and the other poor. Their stories couldnt be more different, even though they share a table. Rich gamblers regard losses as little more than a dent in their wallet and view this as relaxation. Its a high-stakes game, and every defeat hurts deeply for the low-income bettor. This is when it gets really important: The playing field isnt level in gambling. Rich people play with spare money, whereas the destitute frequently play with their lifelines. Although its hard to resist the appeal of "big wins," gambling is a risk, not a sure thing.

The fix? Awareness and instruction. The hazards must be understood by gamblers, particularly the less wealthy. Understanding when to give up is only one aspect of it; another is realizing that gambling is a risk rather than a steady source of revenue. This has nothing to do with dash dreams, but rather with safeguarding the weak. We can protect people for whom losing is more than just a game; its a real-life setback by encouraging responsible gambling.

Yeah, stop or pause and re-assess yourself, if you still have that capability it means that your addiction is not that deep yet, you can analyze what happened and what went wrong, if you are open to accept all the help that being provided, it will be an easier journey to quit away from gambling, it's all on you and how willing you are to stop.
Stopping gambling to evaluate what has happened to us while we are gambling is very necessary so that we can find out whether there are any negative impacts that we have experienced. If there is an impact, we can find a solution or we can even reduce gambling activities and the time and money spent on gambling. And we also have to be able to control ourselves more vigorously so that we can reduce its impact. We have to be open with all things, especially those that can help us reduce our gambling activities, because it is for our good too. We cannot continue gambling when we are having problems gambling and have to solve it first before the problem gets bigger and we will have more difficulty solving it.

You should have that time to stop when you feel that you are already doing something that is not usual with how you do your gambling activities. From that point, chances that you will be able to determine whether you are still in good shape or you are already exceeding  from what is supposedly limits your participation.

Most of the time, when you already exceed, it's added to your desire to continue and take a longer run, things that have put you in danger, as gambling is really something that is difficult to control when it already dominates you.

Take that time to pause for a while and rest yourself if it's needed. There's nothing wrong if you need to assess
something in you, that's the right thing to do when gambling is all around you.
Most of the time, we dont know when our harmless hobby becomes dangerous. Take a critical look at things: picture Alex. Alex starts gaming for fun, but soon it turns into something he does every day. Alex doesnt know what his limits are because of the thrill. Soon, Alex is gambling not just for fun but because he has to. This is a familiar story; its a lot like how many people get into gambling problems.

How to get it? Knowing yourself and setting limits. Its very important to know when "just one more game" turns into a need instead of a choice. Its important to set tight limits on both time and money. When we feel like we're going in the wrong direction, its time to take a step back, look at things again, and maybe ask for help. Remember that gaming shouldnt be a necessity; it should be something you do for fun.

The winning money is always the unique one,because it will be the bigger one compared to the money used in the game.Even the government made the law of taxes to the gambling site,the gamblers can easy pay of taxes with the winning money.This will only affect the person who doesn’t made the money from winning and also need to pay the taxes for the gambling involvement.The gamblers will share their joy with the family members and with their close friends.The gamblers should keep their mindset of have fun with their money from the gambling site,mostly the gambler will spend all their winning money nearly close to ten dollars of their full winnings to fulfil the desire.
Yes, gamblers must indeed maintain their mindset so that they can have fun with their money by gambling moderately. If they can win from gambling, they must be able to feel enough and can decide to take a break to reduce tension after winning. If they can do this, they will have no trouble using their winnings and will not continue gambling because they will remember that winning is a rare thing and they should be able to appreciate it. By stopping gambling, they can use their winnings well and if the winnings are not large, they can still stop gambling to reduce tension and save the remaining money so they can use it to gamble another day. Maintaining this mindset must indeed be done continuously so that there will be no temptation that can influence him to continue gambling.
Definitely, self-control is very important when gambling. But we have to ask: isnt gambling naturally tempting and hard to predict? Let's consider a hypothetical scenario: a gambler wins a small amount. This small win causes a chemical reaction in the brain called dopamine to be released. Naturally, we want that feeling again. Will a single win really teach people the discipline they need to stop? Psychological and historical evidence suggests otherwise.

"Chasing losses" or "repeating wins" are common mistakes gamers make. Do we really mean what we say when we say "I'll stop after this win"? "What if I win more?" often makes people deviate from their smart choice to stop. Therefore, the idea behind gambling responsibly is fundamentally wrong. Not about winning or losing, but about knowing how gambling affects your mind and staying in control of it.

If it's like that, it's good and makes sense too, someone has to manage their finances so that they don't gamble using money that is intended for their daily basic needs. they will continue to deposit their money in gambling especially if they don't have good self-control where the defeats they always get will make them curious to continue gambling without thinking about the losses they have felt. let's say they are addicted, even though they are aware of themselves who are addicted to gambling but in my opinion they will not admit that they are addicted, because people who are addicted to gambling tend to be embarrassed to admit that people know they are addicted to gambling.

yes you are right, they can win or get benefits, but the benefits they get are not much nor will they get it often because admit it the chances of winning are thinner than the chances of losing. it is also not good to make gambling a source of income, as you said to make money they have to look elsewhere not in gambling because I also do not recommend it like this.
Yes, a person must manage his finances well so that when he gambles, he only gambles with the money he has prepared. He is also not allowed to use money intended for basic daily needs and that means they are not allowed to gamble beyond their limits. If they lose control once when playing gambling, there is a possibility that they will repeat it another day and it will continue over and over again. And if they repeat it often, there is a possibility that they will become addicted to gambling, where they will no longer have self-control in gambling so they will only lose even more money. They must remember their limits and hone their self-control so as not to gamble excessively and if they are used to doing so, they can enjoy gambling games.

And when they like playing slots, they have to be even more careful because when playing slots, someone must really be able to limit the amount of money. After all, people often forget the limits. And that's what happens to many people. They return to playing slots but after depositing more money. That means they have exceeded their limits, and when they lose, the number of losses increases. In the end, they couldn't reduce the number of losses but instead increased the number of losses.
Imagine that we see someone, lets call him John, carefully managing his money. He has a separate "fun fund" for gambling from his "essentials." He walks into the casino feeling sure of himself and in charge. But heres where things get challenging: John loses, and the urge to "win it back" grows stronger. He takes money out of the "fun fund" for next week. Stop right there! He's taking a step that could be dangerous.

This happens all the time, which is scary. Its not enough to just set limits; you have to do the impossible and stick to them. This is especially true when it comes to spots. John keeps losing money even though he knows that the next pull could be the prize. It keeps going and going. What is the key? Know when to take a step back. These days, its not just gambling; people are risking their money and ability to control themselves.
